would think being a blue chip corner he expected more playing time than this.By play I meant challenge for quality snaps. He didn't have a lot of those his freshman yr.Looks like he took the easy way out.


Just noting he played. But he signed up knowing LSU had multiple blue Chip players on the roster at defensive back. LSU just sent two in the first round.

I was thinking it wasnt for playing time.

Btw, LSU sports showing he played in 10 games. I trust them over ESPN.

My god if this is true can we please stop testing them? Or at the very least do a Bama-style "punishment" where they have to sprint 100 yards after practice and just let it go?

You don't lower standards. Drugs are prevalent problem in society. Character matters. You can not turn a blind eye to drug use. Not testing them does not make the problem go away.

They made it look like he left on his own terms out of respect for Saivion

I know it's frustrating, but come on!
What would Matthieu be if Les hadn't kicked him off the team?

He's not perfect, but sheesh, that guy represents us pretty well right now because we had at least a little backbone.

UnAnon gets it. Just test for actual harmful drugs. Matthieu was doing a whole lot more than weed.

I wish he would have stayed but I'm hoping this means that a youngster has taken his place.

JUCO


Well, this is pretty telling in terms of his reason(s) for transferring. I hope he gets his act together and has success wherever he goes.
