Is it just me or am I the only one who hasn't seen enough from him to warrant the early departure talk? Not saying he's not a great receiver but I personally just done think he has enough tape on him to warrant leaving this season

Did you feel the same about Beckham and Landry in their first 2 years?

Beckham 84 rec (41 and 43 respectively) 1188 yards 4 TDs
Landry 60 rec (56 as sophomore) 616 yards 5 TDs
Dupre 57 rec (43 as sophomore) 1016 yards 11 TDs

Beckham played in 27 games over the first two years as a full WR, Landry played 13 games as a full WR, Dupre played 24 games as a full WR.

Landry and Beckham played with seniors and redshirt juniors, Dupre played with 2 first year starting true sophomores. All 3 had drop problems.

IMO, Dupre lacks what the other 2 have in aggressive play, but year 3 is usually when the show happens for the best LSU WRs.

LaFell
Yr 2 - 50 rec 653 yards 4 TDs 14 games
Yr 3 - 63 rec 929 yards 8 TDs 13 games

Randle
Yr 2 - 33 rec 544 yards 3 TDs 13 games
Yr 3 - 53 rec 917 yards 8 TDs 14 games

Landry
Yr 2 - 56 rec 573 yards 5 TDs 13 games
Yr 3 - 77 rec 1193 yards 10 TDs 13 games

Beckham
Yr 2 - 43 rec 713 yards 2 TDs 13 games
Yr 3 - 53 rec 1152 yards 8 TDs 13 games

Dupre
Yr 2 - 43 Rec 698 yards 6 TDs 12 games
Yr 3 - ???

I actually believe Dupre will have the best season for an LSU WR since Josh Reed.
