    I actually will be happy to see him get his payday in the NFL, man will deserve every bit of it. I'll follow him like I follow other LSU athletes.

    As you well know, this is a team, and has not been praised much all year for individual players except for the national love affair w/Honey Badger for a while. I agree with you, the post-season honors will have just a few more Tiger names on it:) But, we all knew that would be the case when the season started and these pre-season all-american teams did not have very many Tigers listed on them. As long as we win the NC, that is the primary "honor" that this team wants anyway.

    I have no problem seeing him going for pro and the big money contract next year if we run the table and win the NC this year. I think MC17 will feel the same way as he definitely doesn't want to leave with any regret during his college career.

    He's a gone pecan I'm sure and kudos to him. He'll have his toughest test of the season this week and I think he'll have a few chances for a pick as the hogs are going to throw it everywhere.

    GEAUX MO!

    Mo showed a lot of class when TM7 was getting all the hype. I was impressed with that. He seems like a good dude and I wish him well in the pros next year.

    He is easily the best corner in the NCAA.

    This is about as done a deal as we've seen...even including PP7. Some scouts grade him out better because he's a more fluid cover guy. PP7 is more explosive, but he'll likely be playing safety within ten years...not because he can't cover, but because it will suit him better in the long run. A guy that big can't be fluid forever. Mo will be a career cover corner in the Champ Bailey mold.

    And we "misewell" get ready because Eric Reid will be in the same boat next year...gone after junior year as a top 10 pick...hopefully with two crystals...

    Mo is a sure pick, kind of like PP7 last year. Too many things he can do, Special Teams is a part, can fill two spots on the roster. The Return game comes into play. As with anything, team needs. But from most, top 10 and the first CB taken.

    Reid will have a shot next year to leave. LSU has a great group of DB's, they keep reloading.
