SEC as anticipated has taken that option away
He still has the speed NFL covets, could you imagine what Peyton could do with him.

There's a reason Jennings had to throw those to Quinn and Dupree.

ones who see Jeremy Hill in a Maserati

stop. Hill was drafted very high for a running back and has been starting in the NFL the past 2 games. He had zero to gain by coming back. When players see a guy like Lattimore go from the best RB in the country to his career ending because of an injury, they weigh their options. And their career decisions are based on money, and that's very normal and understandable. They only have so long they can play football, and that's why they came to LSU in the first place. If you want scholar athletes playing for the educational benefit, become a Northwestern fan.

No. The rule won't help us much.

What happened before is anyone could request a draft grade from the nfl. It has been proven that a lot of the kids they said would go 2-3 rounds have gone undrafted.

They are asking schools to limit nfl grades to 5 early entrants per year. They allow exceptions, check this out, for teams with more than five talented underclassmen.

So for schools like LSU, there is no cap.

it'd be a reasonable assumption

Like others have said, another season as a primary receiver could really boost his stock.


Makes sense, but who will deliver the ball?

With the current collective bargaining agreement, there is not much of a difference, money wise between a 4th and 2nd rounder. A player who is able to go in the 4th is better off going so they can start the clock on their 3 yr rookie contract. It's the 2nd contract where they will cash in. No real advantage to staying any longer.

He's gotta show more than deep ball routes.

He really needs to come back. He's got great speed, but I think he could use some work on route-running.

I agree but being that he'll probably get All Sec 2nd team at least, it may go to his head that his stock is at a serious high. I def think he needs to come back though.

Dural is a great player, but he doesnt have the advantage of a player like Amari Cooper. Some of these guys that have jumped early didnt necessarily have impressive stats. When you turn on the tape, they look like NFL WR's.

To be a high draft pick, dural has to be great at everything. He just doesnt have that freak body to jump into the 1st rd.

Nah rueben was more well rounded though it wasnt seen as much as it shouldve been. Close comparison though.

dural doesnt have the body that nfl guys drool over. rueben had that and showed he was more than a one trick pony at lsu. Yes dural is fast, but he looks soft as hell. I hope he stays, but i dont blame anyone for leaving anymore. It is their life, their career, and none of us have the rt to tell them other wise.

He is not physical enough to play in the nfl just yet. He needs to come back and get stronger and work on his release off the line of scrimage. IMO

Miles' recruiting genius shows in getting stud WRs to come here. Reuben Randle could have done with a little more of a better throwing situation.
