    He'll be a 2nd-3rd rounder easily. I'm not really seeing how this is a big deal...he is obviously not in love with school anyway, he's a talented player who should get drafted and he's already 22, no sense in sticking around for one more year. I applaud his decision and wish him well.

    he didn't flunk.

    He just barely got by.

    Passing in the spring + the fall with more advanced curriculum would have been a grind.

    Why risk it and maybe not make it?

    Just go out now.

    That's his line of thinking anyway.

    This is probably the biggest reason. Some of ya'll may not know this, but college courses get harder every year...:geaux:

    I got him mid 3rd to early 4th.

    At the end of last year, I had him late first rounder.

    He will shoot up at the combines, because he's a workout freak.

    the NFL guys love that.

    Their motto is that if you have the physical tools, they can teach you how to play the game.

    I hope so.

    I like him a lot because he was so big in our last 2 games that got us an SEC and NC.

    Yes - his field goal block in the NC game was a real turning point in that game. One of the biggest plays of the game, and certainly one of the most demoralizing for tOSU.

    He's been a big part of the Tigers' success, and I wish him good fortune in the NFL. He'll be fine there. (Hope the Broncos get him....need the help!) :geaux:

    I don't think so.

    I think if there were a lot of guys not committed to LSU, you'd have seen a 38-3 loss and not a 38-3 win.

    Those guys want to prove this year was a fluke.
