Do they? I had a small English class with Jarrett Lee and only saw him there a couple times.

He also went by Calen (his first name) in class to try to be incognito. It worked as well as Groucho Marx glasses.

If he plays for LSU will it count against the 25 for this year. It's very confusing. Does his academic issues get forgiven because of covid?

Not sure this is much of a revelation.

Wasn’t it already known that if he transferred he’d have to sit a year?

Same thing I’ve been telling you guys since the week he left.



If this is really the case and it is truly a mental health issue, we probably shouldn’t crap on the kid. Hope he gets the right help and can have a productive life

Honestly, if Ed Orgeron would've handled this better in the media



When has Ed ever handled things correctly from a media/PR standpoint?

Or you could be suffering from real mental illness that has a significant negative impact on (among other things) academics.

Do they?


They did 20 years ago when I was an athlete, maybe they don’t anymore but I’m sure they do... the academic center for athletes was pretty hardcore 20 years ago, I doubt that has changed

My first priority is for the young man to be successful in life. That means he needs to get his mental issues regulated, and he needs to do his schoolwork.

If those issues are solved, then yeah, bring him back for football. Any issues with his teammates were probably caused by the other issues. He fixes those, he fixes his team issue.

If you don't go to class - virtually or in person - you will get low grades.

If you are depressed and dealing with bipolar issues, you probably aren't going to class, either.

They may try and get him in summer classes to boost the GPA.


It is a necessity that he complete 9 hours in summer school + an intersession (3-6 hours) to become eligible again if he did not complete the 1st semester work.

THIS. I would welcome seeing #2 roaming the center of the field and endzone creating mismatches for the opposing D and opening opps for our other play-makers to get free.

well you will probably see something like this because Koy Moore is going to wear #2, Arik will have to find himself a new number

Negative. He won’t have any of this if he takes his meds as prescribed.

You are a typical TD poster. If you didn’t hear it on the radio, it didn’t happen. Don’t have a source within a mile of the program. Sometimes you should just shut up and listen to the people that do.

A little intersession here, a little summer session there, and he can get back on track.
A little "Wicker Basket Weaving 101", "African-American Studies","Diversity Training for the modern Workplace", and "HPRE Golf or Bowling" should do it, huh?

Move him to WR if he makes it back!

I know the team won without him.

Some people are very good at what they do, and some aren't.

Some win no matter how good they are, and some don't.
