this same thing happened with Emery under Orgeron, it was how bad the staff let Emery down. Now, rightfully so, the blame is on Emery.
We are talking about two totally different things. It’s completely different than the issue during the time of CEO.

My goodness he should have taken his chances in the NFL. Better than sitting next year(which I hope isn't the case). Unreal

Emery could legit have a learning disability or be mildly mentally disabled.

With all the private tutors and help football gets, it's almost impossible to have this many issues especially since they pick easy majors.

I think this is probably the truth.

I've always said he had problems with the playbook.

He’s majoring in football.

Academics are just a necessary evil for him.

I don’t think it can be stressed enough how easy it is to be academically eligible…

They have tutors that are available 7 days a week for them to spoon feed them every aspect of every class so that even a 9th grader could pass.

At this point he's either pathologically averse to thinking about something for more than 2 minutes, or literally too stupid to do so.

What a rollercoaster career for him.


Anyone remember the first time Emery was academically ineligible and how it was all Orgeron's fault.
Whose fault is it this time?
Some guys never reach "Alignment".

We don’t need anymore running backs for Pete’s sake. We have six. I’m sure we’ll start the season with three or four. They all are talented. The offensive line is better and hopefully QB is better and should open it up exponentially.

Hopefully Emery passes How Not To Fumble 4025. Here it’s a tough class.

The volume of crap was an Orgeron off-season and all of the bimbo blondes he brought to practice.

If that many were out or injured, why didn't they get some transfers at the running back position for spring?

About two months ago, I hope. The idea that this RB group was acceptable was ridiculous to begin with.

I hope the only reason they didn’t take one was because no elite backs were available.

Emery is one of the bigger recruiting busts in LSU history. Fact not opinion.
