About what you think? No, I don't. You happen to be the one who took exception to me. Is it fun to be a hypocrite?

If you were struggling to establish yourself to advance your career, then yes. But he has become one of the best players on the team. An all American corner at a power 5 program that is known for producing elite DBs. He’s a first rounder right now.


I get what you're saying, and I don't necessarily think it's smart for him to leave. But lets say you're a successful person in upper management, and you are watching your company get worse and worse to the point where 80% of the company's executives are getting fired, why would you not look at other places to work? I have more of a problem with people who aren't giving effort when they are on the field. Hell half of the people on this board think Joe Burrow should demand a trade.

Screw him and Stingley. Two of the biggest entitled, pussy-whip quitters I've ever seen.


Its a new world, college sports as it was is over. Its free agency every year... they are far from the only ones.

It's also messed up that the media would leak this info before the player announced it himself. That's a young man making a man's decision. Let him tell the world.




frick the kids that wanna transfer. I could give a shite about leaking this stuff

Congrats to everyone who ever said they wanted the program nuked and rebuilt from scratch. This is your day.

I’ll definitely say that it was super interesting to see how much the defense improved without Stingley and Ricks. So many people on this website look solely at recruiting stars and don’t take into account how much a shitty attitude can destroy a team on a day to day basis


You're confusing correlation with causation. The improvement on D was all about scheme. When those 2 were playing, I don't know that we ran a single blitz.

This is the very very beginning. I'm expecting quite a few starters to jump ship, I wouldn't be surprised by Max and bro being gone either... fans are delusional.

I don’t know how anyone can say Eli Ricks didn’t play hard when he was out there. Really don’t understand the folks saying that he’s part of some culture problem. What more do you want from these guys? Get over yourselves.

You probably hated Mike Jones when he transferred here didn't you. And if he is leaving because Orgeron is gone, is that surprising? The head coach is the reason why tons of kids choose to go to school where the do.
Do you also hate Jacob Berry? He practically did the same thing and will be a top 3 player on our baseball team this year.

I don’t care. The DBU studs of old were dogs who took a ton of pride in playing for LSU. I haven’t seen any of that from these 5 stars who have been pampered all their life and only care about getting to the NFL. But I do see it from lesser-hyped guys like Dwight McGlothern and Jay Ward.

Don’t care. I want kids who want to be at LSU and aren’t afraid of contact.

The ad needs to either announce the new coach or atleast have meetings with players to confirm they have their candidate locked down to stop the transfer

All of Ed O’s lofty recruiting ranking mean shite, when we hemorrhage people after the ink has dried on these signing classes.

No different than those highly ranked Dinardo classes.

There’s a difference between transferring to get playing time because you are buried on the depth chart and being a starter and just quitting.

They're still both quitting on the team you committed to, no matter how you try to rationalize it.
