    Precisely what I've been told. I hate to see Lafell go, but I'm really glad Black and Scott are going to stay. Next season is shaping up nicely.

    Re: Black and Scott Press Conference

    I just got confirmation from a couple of sources with the team that RJF and Lafell are the only ones who are leaving for the draft.

    I forgot to ask about Keiland but I think it is safe to say he is staying as well.

    Good luck to them.

    LSU has to look a lot better for Rueben Randle now.

    The Advocate is reporting that Black and Scott will have a presser at 2:00 today to announce:

    Also says Lafell sought input from NFL and appears RJF is gone. Lafell not being at the press conference today would indicate to me that he is leaving.

    i predict black will stay but scott is 50/50.

    i think it was songy that said the team had a meeting on monday and the only player not to show up was RJF. hopefully that means everyone else is staying.

    Scott is staying unless he changes his mind within 24 hours deadline. Not likely and he has told my sources he is staying for sure.

    ESPN is now confirming Lafell:

    i was kind of hoping scott would go pro. he is a great running back between the tackles but i think him being there takes away from the other backs. I wouldnt be surprised if Keiland leaves. I have always preferred keiland to cs.

    Re: Black and Scott Press Conference

    Sorry, I can't agree with that at all. You want our best RB by far to leave to give the other guys a shot when CS has proved he is head and shoulders above the rest. Did you prefer KW when he had a ton of problems running through the holes in the middle of the line?

    Not trying to say KW is garbage but LSU without Scott the last to years would have been really bad.

    Re: Black and Scott Press Conference

    KW was always the more heralded back but he has been outworked and outproduced by two different men, in two different years. I like him a lot and hope to see him come back as the new backs will have a learning curve as Scott/Williams did.

    More to being a RB in this offense than just running downhill. We are fortunate if either Scott or Williams comes back, much less both.

    Re: Black and Scott Press Conference

    I agree with everything you just said. How any LSU fan would actually want Scott to leave early is beyond me.

    I like KW, but he hasn't realized his potential as well as Scott. If he wants more PT, he should go out and earn it. That's the same with any of the guys.
