Anyone with some inside sauce on when this could come to light?

I know plenty people think he would be stupid to return, but I honestly think Devin has different goals than being a top pick and a bunch of money.
I don’t think it’ll be an easy decision for him.

I support him either way, but wouldn’t be surprised if he came back to finish what he started.

He became one of my favorite Tigers of all time. Not just because of his reckless play, but his attitude, his vocal opinion and leadership. He was a true tiger!

He's eligible for the draft this year? Seems like this would have been discussed.

As a football and financial decision, Would be crazy not to go pro. He can’t better his stick.

As a personal choice I think he is conflicted.

I believe once all the excitement settles from this season he will realize the cost of returning. He gone!

Would love for him to come back. Would respect him for getting a degree. But it'd be foolish to return. He's a top 10, maybe a top 5 pick. There's nothing for him to prove and everything for him to risk. I fully expect him to leave. But much respect to him for playing the bowl game and going all out.

Yeah, these guys are still kids, and college is fun. Especially if you play for a main line, D1 program with, from what I'm hearing, the potential to start the season next year ranked 4th or 5th. The potential is there to have a very, very special season next year. So is the potential to play Linebacker for the Arizona Cardinals or the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Take out an insurance policy, stay in school. I don't know. I guess it's very, very hard to turn down that kind of money. Whatever he does, he will always be remembered as a great Tiger who set, and led by, the example.

Maybe so. I asked if there was an info on when. Or does he ride it to the deadline. You know, since the season ended, and it’s probably more of a discussion now.

He would be crazy not to declare. He has all the tools to be a great one on the next level. Just hope he doesn't go to the damn Dirty Birds.

Was that your reaction to Kevin Faulk, when he had a kid in college and still came back?
I guess times change.

Only thing he needs to work on is his pass coverage.

God bless the kid for even seemingly considering coming back, but I sincerely hope that Coach O & his staff are advising him to go get paid. LSU will always be here if & when he wants a degree. We're talking about life-changing money.

So what you're saying is he has the potential to potentially return for his potential senior year?
