Stingley’s last two seasons got me thinking about guys over the years that you couldn’t wait to see fulfill their massive potential as Tigers. Who stands out most for you when it comes to former Tigers who you wish had stayed healthy physically/mentally for at least one more year. I’ll start...

1) Cecil Collins
2) Tyrann Mathieu
3) Ryan Perriloux
4) Derek Stingley

I know...off-season thread but I’m already about there

I can only imagine the skulls Devin White would have cracked in 2019.

For football, it's Cecil, then Perriloux.

Kevin Toliver and Malachi Dupre.
Both were 5* caliber guys out of HS.

Beyond those in the OP . . .

Mike Miley - one of the most talented 2-sport Tigers ever. I don't think him leaving impacted LSU as much as Perrilloux's did, but it likely cost Cholly Mac a few seasons.

Trai Turner / Michael Brockers - both redhirted and only played 2 seasons since they were draft eligible.

Michael Brooks - missed all of '86 with an injury and then went pro. Correct me I'm wrong but he could have probably gotten a medical RS for '86 and played in '87.

Kevin Toliver

Rashard Robinson

Mike probably left some unfinished business.

Stingley won a natty. He has no unfinished business

I really think Devin White was torn between having to decide to come back or leave after 2018, as in he seriously wanted to but he was going to get picked way too high to be able to say no.

I'm glad it worked out though since he went to a LB factory that is Tampa Bay and got a Super Bowl ring. 2019 worked out pretty well for us anyways . DW40 will always be one of my all time favorite Tigers.

Danielle Hunter. It’s mind blowing how the coaching staff completely whiffed on leveraging his extreme talent.
