Guys I could see staying

Emory Jones- BR guy, could be sold on paying LT and upping his draft stock. Had a rough year and may have slipped a bit.

Mason Taylor: Had a good year, hasn’t had a great year. Dad’s rich? may be looking to go as high a he can and not as soon as he can.

LSU big names


Big names? LSU has no big names that anyone outside LSU fans have heard of.

Mason Taylor isn’t coming back. He’s projected as the 2nd TE taken in the draft.

He didn't have a rough year. He had a year that wasn't as good as the all world expectations put on our tackles

Well the question becomes: Does he think he’s an all world guy or is he happy with his projection?

if he is hearing first round go.

if not come back and have an all world year.

He is probably a 2nd round guy as of now.

He might be able to sneak into the first if things fall right.

Jones will come down to how much he loves college cause he is a 2nd rounder at worst. He probably leaves with campbell.

still he’s the kind of guy you need to convince to come and buy in if you want to win a championship.

Bama was good about getting a guy like that every year.

meh, i am not convinced that he is any better of a prospect than a guy like Saahdiq Charles. Which is not meant as an insult. But is probably better suited to play G in the league.

Yep.

People didn't realize how good dellenger has been the last few yrs. Was always one of my favorite players.

Will Campbell - 1% chance to return if generous
Harold Perkins - seems to be trending to return. Needs to play edge/star
Emory Jones - would be excellent
Mason Taylor - highly doubtful
Garrett Nussmeier - Signs point to yes
Aaron Anderson - Huge return
Zavion Thomas - solid experience would be nice
Chris Hilton - also huge
Sage Ryan - meh
Jardin Gilbert - no thanks
CJ Daniels - also huge

That could be fair. That is probably why he will be a 2nd round guy though.

He might have to move inside

No disrespect to any of the guys, as they all are making the best decisions that they can make for them and their families with what information they have right now. I get and respect that.



Now let's review BK's comments, at this point, Nuss and Anderson are the only names that are coming back lol. Let's call it what is it, either BK didn't know the pulse of everyone...or he did and he lied to us.
