You could probably go down the roster and pick the likely ones. Peveto may end up getting a bunch if the transfers dont want to sit out a year. Les can feed Northwestern some fine talent and keep it in state which would be a win win.
Not really that much. Are you taking into account juniors leaving? A few guys are going to be eligible to declare for the draft.. we'll probably lose 2-3 of them. I feel like we're looking at a small class.. I think 20-22 would be about right. Patrick Peterson Deangelo Peterson Stevan Ridley Ryan Baker Brandon Taylor Brooks Hatcher Potentially Zach Lee to baseball (we'll find out soon) We're going to be very young in 2010. We're in a heck of a position to make a nice run soon.
Peterson is definitely gone, mark that done. Attrition from discipline/other issues happens every year. Transfers will most certainly come. LSU will take ships away from some players who got one year ship offers(walk-ons most likely). The numbers will work itself out...I expect us to come close to a full class at least. I doubt we pass on anyone great this year.
Don't NFL rookie salary caps kick in next year? I wonder if Peterson will decide to hang since he's not going to get the huge payday that Jrs used to be able to drag? I'm thinking he still goes, but I wonder if there's a chance he doesn't...
I think it has to do more with draft position. The rookie salary cap will be around the next year also. Once you project into the early first round there isn't any financial reason to stay. I feel Peterson will be the #1 corner in the draft if he plays like he did this season.
