    Mo, D-Pete, Blackwell, Francois, Taylor, Hatcher, T-Bob, Mitch Joseph, Shaw and Stampley.

    Give some of these have all started a least one game this year.
    We have played 82 players this year with around 60 returning for next year. Josh D should get another year.

    any chance Randle declares this year or does he come back and raise his value by playing a year with a pocket passer like Mett?

    Word is RR may come out. Too many WR's coming out this year. Many with the same height/weight/etc. as Randle. No doubt another year in the system would payoff for him. Mett could help him so much more next year.

    With that said, watch him have a great game against bama.......:wave:

    I definitely agree that he could really improve his draft status after a year with Mettenberger, assuming Mett turns out to be what we all hope and believe he will be.

    What are your thoughts on some of our third year, redshirt sophs like Big Sam and Brockers?

    Thanks for your input

    Talking with a draft guy around mid-year, he too thought RR should stay. I'll try and get a call into him later in the week.

    I too think RR should stay, you look at TT last year, undrafted. He had a breakout bowl game. You never know.

    I've heard none of them are leaving. Only two early possibilities are Claiborne (99.9% chance) and Randle (28.7% chance).

    thanks for the reply.....I didn't think these guys would be leaving yet but I have heard this rumor from a few different people and wondered about the validity.

    With about 25+ signees ... I'm hearing up to 27 will be signed and we'll likely see some serious attrition ... 85 will be tight

    And those 2 scholarship losses for this season ... NCAA agreed with an LSU self-imposed penalty ... that's behind LSU now as we start the 2012 season later this year ...
