The problem is he’s not NFL ready. He’s 4-5th round
Why can’t you people understand that this doesn’t matter
Ed Alexander has fought injuries his entire LSU career. Look at it from his perspective. He can play football and fight injuries next year at LSU for free or he can play football and fight injuries on a NFL practice squad next year.
This is almost a carbon copy of Toby Weathersby. Weathersby is making $129K a year right now on the Patriots practice squad.

LSU football will never win shite with idiots like this leaving early. This is becoming a joke

It’s a risk reward
If they come back and even sneak into the 5th round their signing bonus would make up the difference.

So why not, I don’t know, at least get your degree while it’s free so you have something to fall back on?
LSU fans truly are pieces of shite when it comes to this stuff

I know this has been said but this shite kills us every year. Players that will go in the 5th to 7th round or free agent leave. Just sucks with this position. Oh well Good luck Ed.

Ideally yes, but Alexander’s knees and Weathersby’s concussions put them on a time clock to make money

Another making a poor decision but it's his to make.

Probably can’t stay eligible.

WHOMEVER IS ADVISING THESE GUYS NEEDS A BULLET— Seriously!!
I don't think anyone is recommending he go this route from LSU's end. It's gotta be mom or dad? Even still, he's either getting bad counsel or ignoring good counsel.

We may not agree on much, Lester. But, we couldn't agree more on this. The kid is doing what he thinks is best and people turn on him and call him every name in the book. On top of that, it comes from some of the people that say the board impacts recruiting. If it does, this sure as shite doesn't help.

Everyone is in a time lock, but if his knees are that bad who is signing this kid?
To anything? There is no IR from the practice squad I don’t think.

It’s our identity. It’s fricking pathetic
You have projected 2nd-3rd founders routinely coming back to play at bama
LSU can’t even keep projected UDFAs
The same people praising and cheering him will be melting like MFers when Bama blows our lines up AGAIN. They’ll be screaming for O to be fired and simply won’t understand why we can’t compete

What your solution to makes these kids come back? Everyone said it was a les problem but it’s clearly not just a les problem.

I think you have to look at programs that have good retention rates and see what they are doing differently.
It's the player's decision, but I agree it's perplexing and a bit frustrating to lose underclassmen like we do.

Siaki Ika is going to get a lot of playing time next year
Posted on 12/19/18 at 5:50 pm to Solo Cam
At least he'll be healthy enough to earn a job in the AAF. Or maybe he'll be an XFL all-pro...
Posted on 12/19/18 at 5:50 pm to jamal
And that’s definitely not a good thing

frick this gay Earth. I'm gonna eat about.... 140 lbs of turkey over the Christmas break, I'll get in there.

Well that’s not good. And a mistake for the young man also. He sure could have improved his stock by coming back
