Time to Start moving people around prob

Marcel Brooks
Devonta Lee
Stevens


Brooks is gonna be OLB and I'll bet Stevens gets moved to MLB after adding 10 lbs of muscle. 6'1" 235-240. Yep there is your thumper, folks. A natural position for him as he is very cerebral.

Woody hasn't gutted compliance yet? What the hell is taking so long?

Because weed and other substance violations are against written University policy. PDF of LSU Policy

Since LSU and the Athletic Department and not the compliance department determine said policy, the compliance department has its hands tied and is responsible for following LSU's written policy per NCAA rule mandate.

Please note that I am not defending the compliance department, but their hands are tied in the matter of failed LSU and/or NCAA administered drug tests.

Now whether a change in LSU's written policy can come from the Athletic Dept. or needs to come from higher up in the Administration (Board of Supervisors) is the question.

so, our LSU Compliance Dept randomly tests our entire student population? Seems like Bo Bahnsen and that crew camp out at our football complex.

I feel like it has to be something more that Weed. The Univeristy, not just athletic department, released a statement and on Saturday morning. I feel like it’s something bigger

We know now if there is a scholarship left after signing day Wednesday, it should go for a transfer linebacker.

Brooks and Stevens are already LBs in a 4-3 imo

This is why I don’t understand them not taking Harris from U-High last year

Rehab for weed?



I believe a couple have been to a place that helps them learn to deal with the urge to smoke. I could be wrong about that. Weed may not be physically addictive but it has a psychological pull, some folks need a little help resolving how to deal with that. Not everyone is good at self denial in specific areas.

If that is not the case, then I hope it is something that can be resolved.

Some people never learn impulse control.

Some are never taught.

Some fall prey to peer pressure.

Actually know a guy who did rehab and 12 step program for weed. Quite successful now, but was not heading that direction before rehab. Still does bi-weekly NA meetings some 10 years later. Was not physically addicted, but, psychologically addicted to weed.

We didn’t run a 4-3 last year, and Harris didn’t want to come here.

Back in high school (in the 70s) I had a period where I was a pretty consistent smoker (had an uncle who smoked, he was not a good role model). I recognized the fact that it had a detrimental effect on my overall desire to do much of anything. I pretty much quit on my own except for the occasional J when it wouldn't interfere with anything. I knew a bunch of folks who spiraled down.

It's basically folks who have what I have always referred to as addictive personalities that are most at risk. The same sorts who are at risk for alcoholism. Knew a guy who was offered a really good job (he was a pretty good mechanic) by someone who knew he smoked. The company require pre-employment testing but nothing after that. The guy told him go 6 weeks without smoking and they'd test him then, he could go back to smoking after he came onboard. He called the guy about 3-4 weeks in and told him he wasn't gonna take the job. Pretty much the beginning of the end of his marriage and his life spiraling downward.

That was in the early 80s, pretty sure the weed they have now is much more potent than it was then.
