Reportedly graduating and getting married, so it makes sense.

I have heard he is definitely going pro, likely Europe, and the announcement will be soon.



Bad, bad news.

Any word on Norvel or Shavon? We need both desperately if Hamilton leaves.

Nothing on Norvel Pelle. Shavon Coleman is visiting Texas Tech this weekend for his final visit, and then will decide between LSU, OU and TT.

I was basically told Hamilton would choose Europe if he wasn't selected. I hope this is the only attrition we have because there have been rumors about several guys.

We can't afford any attrition.

Courtney is really the only one it would make sense for to transfer, and he was Shavon Coleman's recruiting host, so I don't see that happening.

Yea, at least Brady won a few games while running people off.

What an absolute joke, I guess he will use that as an excuse next year when we have no bench, and I think he has already come out and said he won't sign people just to sign them. Perhaps he should put his nose to the grindstone find some quality guys.

some of the rumored guys are unexpected. I don't think the reasons these guys want to leave are playing time or missing home Bubba. I think its simply Trent Johnson.

Not doubting you. I just haven't heard those rumors. The Hamilton deal had legs from the get go, these others don't have much.

I've actually been expecting Courtney to transfer for a year. I am actually surprised he is still here and taking an active role in recruiting and off season training (which he is).

Because it isnt like Josh McRoberts where it DOES matter if your draft stock doesnt get better because you are a lottery pick. He is a late second rounder at best. Not guaranteed anything. Anyone who leaves early that isnt even guaranteed to get drafted is plain and simple saying his coach sucks.


The coach may in fact suck, but your reasoning does not make any sense. Absent any other info, Hamilton leaving doesn't say anything about TJ IMO.

I pretty much agree with this so far as that no players have came out in public saying they do not like TJ.

Posted by Elleshoe Trent very well could have made him better and he still not like playing for him FWIW


So, are you saying that his reasons for leaving are because of TJ? Or is that just speculation?

It has to be. If these rumors are true, it will kill the program, and LSU needs to cut ties with TJ immediately. He's already earned enough to be fired IMO, and this is just icing on the cake.

JOB was the only one I've really heard any serious talk about since the off season started. Turner was rumored during the season but I haven't heard much since

I mentioned he has a chance to go pro a while back but got laughed at

If he goes pro Trent Johnson might as well resign

Were they laughing at the thought of him being drafted? Cause they were right.

Unless Trent finds Happy to go buy a tractor for Nerlens Noel and Shabazz Muhammad the end is imminent.
