He needs to decide what his priorities are and make the best decision for himself. All the randos on here can say "he should do x," or "he should do y," but it's his decision.

If he stays I'll be thrilled. If he goes, I won't view him any differently and will respect his decision.

That's all we can do as fans.


100% This. While, like any LSU fan, I selfishly want him to stay and I check in on this site for news because I'm fascinated by the decision, I will 100% support him if he goes and 100% support him if he stays.

He has done everything right as a Tiger. There is no right or wrong answer here. Only he can know which feels right.

These kids really feel good about this team, that's for sure.



No doubt. A BUNCH of them are staying. There is a ton of talent on the defense. A huge 5 star RB coming in, and finally, finally, a tough and gritty leader of a QB that they believe in and will follow through brick walls.

I like the Tigers' chances next year for a very special season. Hell, all they have to do is move up 2 spots to 4th.

Has he or Lawerence been spotted in any classes this week?




I don't know why this matters. Obviously if he is staying he is taking classes but he can declare for the draft and still take classes.

I just hope he’s got his hands on a legit insurance policy if he’s considering staying.




Can LSU take out one or two million dollar insurance policy for DW?

Idk how that works in terms of NCAA regulations, but from an insurance perspective they definitely can.

LSU paying DW's premium might be an issue

He needs to do what he thinks is best and i won't be mad if he goes.

He seems to really love LSU and you can't ever go back to college. You hear a lot of NFL guys talk about how the miss college football because its just a different environment. Also injuries just aren't as career limiting as they used to be, even if he got hurt, it likely wouldn't affect his draft position that much.

Yup
regardless of whether or not you think DW should stay or go, regardless of your opinion on O as a head coach, this is a sign the program is getting better and healthier.
Playoffs or bust 2019


One player torn on going pro while others are going is a sign of the program getting better?

If we are 4th at end of season, doesn't even mean we went to the playoffs.

Our most talented players staying is one of the main ingredients in LSU's next national championship. No Doubt!

and this, hell Jerry Jones drafted a guy a couple of years ago that had an injury so bad that initially it was questionable if he would walk unassisted again, dude's been a starter for a couple of years now, extreme example, I know, would love to see him stay, probably the best decision for him personally would be to go

Devin White is concerned with what DEVIN WHITE wants to do


True, but it's pretty narrow minded to think that a young man who is about to make millions doesn't have someone advising him on PR.

IMO if he hasn't made a decision by now he is truly torn.

I say he comes back.

Clemson defensive stars Christian Wilkins, Clelin Ferrel, and Austin Bryant all passed on the pros last season for a final year in college. It paid off with an undefeated season, and a national championship for the Tigers.

How awesome is it that alabama losing the NC is part of the reason why he's considering returning for his senior year.

Why hope he goes?


Because he's guaranteed life-changing money

And, it's very unlikely he'd improve much on his draft position.
