re: For everyone freaking out, it's not just LSU with opt outs

A bunch of projected high draft picks in the Big10 opted out before the cancelled the season. I saw a tweet, prior to Chase opting out, that something like 8 of the top 20 players in their mock draft had opted out of the season. Auburn's best defensive player opted out. Penn State's linebacker, Micah Parsons, who is thought to be the #1 LB in the draft opted out awhile ago. However, I don't see any top programs with the number of opt outs that we've had, especially if two more are to come. Most have 1 or 2 max. We already have had 4 opt out (Vincent, Chase, Shelvin, Farrell) and 3 more transfer or enter the portal.

Moreover, we have had two players opt out who are not going to be drafted in the first round.

Shelvin is a third rounder. There are questions about his discipline. Opting out doesn't help. God bless him if he shows up at the combine > 350. He could seriously cost himself $.

Kary Vincent training for the draft is equally not smart. Everyone knows that Kary is fast. They want to see it translate on the field. He was vastly improving as a DB last season and could have really exploded up draft boards with continued improvement. But instead, he took agent $$$ and is going to try to improve his 40 time by 0.05 seconds. Dumb.

Farrell is the only one who legitimately opted out. He has family with COVID concerns and he plans to return in 2021. Can't argue with that.

Jesus Christ I thought you were going to say something substantial.

Let me know when Saban loses someone. They dare not opt out.
