I know the sunshine pumpers are going to bring the downvotes but this concerns me. Bama is returning a group of studs and will be loaded just like we were last year. 6 of the top 20 in CFB. LINK

Najee Harris - Sr..
Devonta Smith - Sr.
Alex Leatherwood - Sr.
Patrick Surtain - Jr.
Dylan Moses - Sr.
Jaylen Waddle - Jr.

Shocked that none of them opted out. Why are their Seniors and Juniors staying and playing and ours are leaving in droves?!?

It’s crazy they even got Smith to return.

It's possible they feel like they have nothing left to accomplish now that they have rings. Some of those guys have rings but they were freshmen and not necessarily huge contributors

There is absolutely no reason Smith or Harris should have returned, something shady going on.

Why don’t you just let this play out and see what happens with these players?
Eight months removed from a national championship and the chicken little “sky is falling” people are coming out of the woodwork already.

LSU has a long history of draft eligible pkayers leaving early. It used to be if you were first 2 rounds, go! Then it became first 3 rounds, go. Now we’ve had players who go UDFA as a draft eligible player...it’s odd

They’re not ready to take a pay cut to move on to the NFL.

They didn’t go 15-0 last season on a team widely thought to be the best in college football history.

Alabama promotes “The Process” and LSU promotes #NFLSU. Not saying it’s a bad thing that LSU markets this, I’m sure it helps them in recruiting. But the culture you are referring to is a result of this strategy. Good or bad.

Saban has a way of brainwashing guys. I'm not sure why this is still not understood.

Bama's players are no different than ours as far as NFL aspirations go. The ones that could have left aren't staying because they want to win a national title.

What keeps them at Bama? Read between the lines, they have more "resources" than any other college program..

It will be nice seeing Bama players leave without winning a title after this year. Been awhile since that has happened
