Or stay 1 more year and raise your draft stock and make an extra 10 million on your first contract.

If you had the chance to make millions at 21 you wouldn’t?

12 players with degrees stayed to play for alabama last season including a top rated center. This year a top rated DE.
Has more to do with LSU goes after players that want to be 3 and done and LSU sells them on it.

Would have been nice if Weathersby and Tolliver had decided to stay.

Because they read the rant and have to get away from all the haters as fast as possible.

Yes they’re leaving because of meanies on a message board.
Honestly, are you actually this stupid or do you just enjoy playing a dumb frick on this board?

Look at the situations of the guys that are leaving. Many of the OLman had injury issues, and family issues. Guice is a first round pick and has needs to take care of his family, they deserve it. The secondary guys weren't very mature IMO anyways, so it shouldn't hurt LSU all that much.
I think the younger OL guys are more talented anyways. The offense will need to work hard to be good this year but we have some new coaches who are supposed to be very good teachers on offense so we'll see what happens.
This isn't a situational problem. At LSU losing kids early is systemic.
You can't just blow this off like it's no big deal, younger players are better yatta yatta yatta! Losing kids early for LSU is problematic. We have depth issues and Weathersby and Clapp both would be starting on next years O Line. Jackson and Tolliver BOTH would be starters in next years defensive backfield. LSU is continually starting kids that are talented but are too inexperienced to truly compete for a championship! IMO it is and has been for some time one of the main reasons we're not challenging Bama for the SEC.

It started under miles and will end under orgeron. It has been ridiculous, but it will slow down. Some of these kids were given bs info and acted on it. Miles didn't address it, orgeron will.

Can you possibly throw out a larger pipe dream for 99% of drafted players into the league regardless of the year they leave college.
They should make what they can while they can and then return to college if things don't go well in their first professional endeavor.

Which players
Posted on 1/15/18 at 9:24 pm to Tigris Christi
As pointed out by all of the posts it is a complicated, situational, and cultural issue. LSU has indeed sold the 3 and gone to recruits as well as having the most players in the NFL. But that talent did not translate into the ability to sell juniors on "return and compete for an NC".
Players returning to Clemson, Alabama, and now Georgia is loyalty to the Coaches who invested in them, loyalty to their schools, and the chance to win the CFP NCG. I don't think you will see that changing.
Alabama with four trips and Clemson with three have occupied seven of the 16 spots in the first four years of the College Football Playoff. Seven other programs have accounted for the other nine spots. Only four programs have won a playoff game. Alabama and Clemson have three playoff victories each. Ohio State, the 2014 champion, has two. Oregon has one. Getting Tired of ALA, Clemson: Get Used to It
Clemson has lost 4 games in 3 yrs with an NC, Bama has lost 3 games with 2 NCs. They have been in the last 3 Final Fours or won the NC.
Clemson is returning their entire Defensive Line. They credit all of the players from Tajh Boyd and OC Chad Morris Offensive Change to building on Clemson's success. Only ALA and Clemson have been so consistent the last 4 yrs.
GA would not have been in the Final Four without returning 31 Seniors including 1st Round 5 Stars Lorenzo Carter, Chubb, Michel, and Davin Bellamy. Carter was an LSU lock until his sisters changed his mind an hour before his NSD announcement. The Big Four left millions on the table but they also benefited their school with millions, brought in the Top Recruiting Class, and raised their draft stock. But they were not enough to beat the ALA Freshmen. BIG FOUR leave millions on the table to play for CFP NCG
Nick Saban rolled out 6 5-star True Freshmen in the 2nd half to beat them: Tua, RB Najee Harris, WRs Devonta Smith, Henry Ruggs, Jerry Jeudy, and LT Alex Leatherwood. Bama has a Process and depth. 6 True Freshmen Unleashed in 2nd Half 26 Point Win
LSU wore LF and DG out in 2 yrs playing Smashmouth, run first, old school football. They played injured their Junior years. They were also the most important players on the team instead of the whole TEAM. RBs have the shortest careers in the NFL, under 3 yrs. They were injured, digressing, and needed to get away from LSU and into the NFL where they Pass 65% of the time to set up the run. They needed to get paid. LF as a Soph Sports Science Phenom: Elite Speed, Agility

Their center is in the same spot as Clapp a year ago he stayed.
These are graduates not even including the number of senior's that stayed.
Its very impressive when you consider lsu has what 11 returning seniors in total?

Somebody needs to be fired from the finance department at Clemson. Hell, maybe even the whole department!!! This is a terrible life decision.

One reason why they leave: MONEY
And I can't blame them. Even if they love LSU, they will do what is best for them.
