Heard the man say himself

“Talk regularly to Bradie James”

Something to the effect that never get college years back ..

D White “Wants to be best ever at an institute like LSU”

No one is talking about this

Seemed honestly open to follow Bradie James with 4 Years

I don't think 40 is coming back for his SR year, but just my gut I have no inside info. I'd guess him and Greedy are locks to leave.

I do however, think we have a REAL shot at bringing back Lawerence, Alexander and Fehoko. If we do, we will have a roster capable of going to the playoffs.

Recruited as a RB. Never fought against being asked to step-in as a linebacker.

That decision/move will cement a legacy here at LSU, make him millions of dollars at the next level, and if he remains healthy, could lead to a HOF career in the NFL (yes, he's that talented)

I think Devin and Greedy are at a minimum both top 15 picks.

They are gone, and both deservedly so.

Yes, he is top 20 I think as of today. He should leave.

How did Greedy RS?

Bradie stayed, developed and improved his draft value. I’m not sure Devin can improve his draft stock since it’s already likely first round.
Would be great for us if he stayed.

Again:

Dude is a straight stud. Has always handled himself with dignity and class. He will win the Butkus award, and become a top 5 pick.

His hard work, dedication, and patience will pay off in the end. I personally would like nothing more than to see him win a national title and make millions in the NFL.

He could have jumped ship like the other non Louisiana kids and turned crimson. No he stuck to the boot and will always be family

White is one of my favorite LSU players ever.

But, man, with the risk of injury, a guy like that really should leave and get as much money as he can as soon as he can.

Sure, selfishly I want him to come back, but it is hard to make a legitimate argument that coming back is in his best interest.

If Devin comes back, he's making a mistake.

He's going to be a top 10 pick after he destroys the combine.

If there's ever an LSU player for Sean Payton not to pass up, it's this one. Look at all the LSU linebackers wrecking shite, even in the Saints own Division and the Saints have absolutely sucked at linebacker for years now.

Lawrence has ankle issues he may need to go ahead and cash out.

The only thing that gives me hope is that teams can purchase large Insurance policies on behalf of players now. Maybe we can help ease his mind with that.

A lot of them say this until the money is real. Hard to turn down that amount of money knowing an injury can risk it all.

Saints won't have a shot at Devin White or Greedy as it stands now. No pick in round one.

I am not saying one way or the other ..

It came from him, I have no idea, but would naturally think he’d go after 3

To respond to you: not many are talking with an NFL player of their position “weekly” .. and say how the NFL player is making an argument for 4 years

As much as I’d like to see him come back for a fourth year, there is no way I would expect anyone to come back if they are a projected first round pick. The risk of injury is just too great to pass up that kind of money. You can always come back and get your degree in the off-season. Geaux Tigers

Maybe you are right, but not how I remember it

James was AllSec jr year .. Faulk went, James as I recall was already considered one of the top LBs
