    I agree with Collins leaving. He honestly is at his ceiling. He might even get less PT next year if Robinson comes back and the new additions.

    I think Hunter has more room to grow. He had good numbers, but was not a disruptive force hardly ever. Just raw natural talent.

    Hammer meet nail. This is exactly right.

    I concur, but this brings up another interesting question.

    Is this true at other NC caliber schools, and if so then why or why not?

    I think most of the coddled and entitled players go to most of the big time programs strictly to get to the NFL. Then once on campus, it depends on the chemistry and leadership. I think that at 18 years old and impressionable the leadership of the team can change a larger percentage to a team oriented focus vs. personal goal oriented. The 2003 and 2007 teams had the right mix of super young talent with enough veterans that were real contributors and could earn the respect of the younger more talented players. I think it is finding the right mix.

    People post nothing but the truth and sincerely mean things they post on Twitter. If that were true Clay Travis would have sucked a lot of penises and be dead. His reposts of idiot fans are hilarious.

    I think maybe maybe not. When you look at the volume LSU puts into the league it has to play a part. Take WR for instance, sure our QB's suck but we still put wide outs in like it's Xmas.
    I think a lot of this has to do with learning to run routes and block and before you meatheads get all worked up NO, Leslie doesn't work with them.

    So yes, I whole heartedly believe that a young kid with the right tools, the right parents and the right head on his shoulders could see that going to LSU increases his chances of achieving his ultimate goal. A NC along the way is only an extra.

    Agreed.

    Ultimately a NC means more to the fans than the players.

    In a sense, I suppose so, but one could argue that it's a lot easier to find 5 stellar players with some capable bench than 22 stellar players with quality depth.

    Hence, it's perhaps easier to garner championships in basketball with younger players?
