    He’s also a guy who has weight problems. Being out of a structured program is not good for him. Wish him the best, but think he could have improved his stock. Time for Guillory and Ika to step up.

    After 3 weeks of season all of your top stars across cfb will opt out. They will have enough game film for NFL scouts to evaluate them so they will bail. The Corona related reasons given will be total b s. The time has come boys and girls for the NFL to stop leeching on colleges and create their own minor league system . Universities wine and dine these kids treat them like kings while on campus and these guys vanish after three years anyway. I'll watch a bunch of 5'7 160 pound white boys run around the field in Tiger Stadium as long as they wearing the purple and gold. Screw scholarships. It's no longer worth it.

    Only Bamas players will stay. NFL would be a pay cut.

    Interesting that you refer to the NFL as "leeching" when the NFL at least PAYS these guys for their talents....

    TV Networks aren't gonna broadcast 5'7" white boys in the purple and gold, they'll broadcast the NFL minor league instead....What you are suggesting would bankrupt major college football....

    Thanks for explaining the huge network ratings for the Kentucky Derby. They broadcast white & other midgets riding horseys.

    There was never such a thing as a featured receiver at LSU during Dupre’s time. I suppose his stock wasn’t going to improve if he stayed because no one needed tape of him blocking.
