re: Devin White likely to return

There is no "should go" or "should stay." The guy has earned the right to choose whichever course he decides. Most people would elect to go pro, but he may not be "most people."

Of course he can do whatever he wishes. I selfishly hope he comes back, because I'm a bigger fan of LSU over any NFL team he could be on. However, there are absolutely cases of "should go" and "should stay." You see them all the time. And in Devin's case, he should go.

I’ll kiss my own arse if Devin White isn’t a top 15 pick.

No way he should return

You know with a guy like Devin it wouldn’t surprise me for some reason. Guy is a different breed and probably understands nothing in the Pros(other than $) will compare to the time he is spending at LSU. So either way he has our support and he knows that. Dude is his own man and we will soon find out what he wants to do.

Interesting caveat is that he could of course take an insurance policy on himself?

White and Queen trolled Brody Miller. It's a simple play on words. Queen said White told the guys he's coming back "next year" as in Jan 1, 2019 for the Fiesta Bowl.

As awesome as it would be if he stayed I just don't see him missing out on all that money. He doesn't really have to play in the bowl game, but is anyway. That's enough for me.

Look up Ben Wilkerson.

No matter how good you are you only get 4/5 years to play college football and once it's over, it's over. If a guy just absolutely loves being at his school and wants to play one final year with his teammates, coaches, etc., then who am I to say he shouldn't. The NFL will be there next season. The opportunity to play for LSU won't.

That said, if I were advising White I'd have a hard time trying to convince him to stay. He's in position to make life-changing money and the window to do so is relatively small.

Selfishly I'd love to see him play for LSU one final year, but it's in his best interest to enter the draft.

You have no idea what his values and desires are. You are basing your opinion solely on what you would do in his position or on what you think other football players his age would choose. I think most of us assume that he will go pro, but it's a little irritating when people post what he "should" do.

Save your irritation.

Objectively, there isn't a reason he should come back. Subjectively, as an LSU fan, I can give you a million, but there's a reason why multi-million dollar, life changing decisions aren't made on subjectivity alone.

Anyone worth his salt would advise any player who is projected first rounder with aspirations to play in the NFL to declare. It's a really dumb decision not to.

Spot on.

So many selfish individuals on this board will refuse to understand it though.

Look douchebag fans if the dude wants to return stop bashing that decision, you people are insufferable. Money dont rule everyone some people have personal goals that aren't financially motivated. It's possible he loves playing in college and hasn't achieved what he set out to accomplish personally and wants another shot at it. Once you go pro every dream you had in college if not achieved is over. Respect his decision either way
