Best of luck to him. Incredible number of jrs turning pro. I believe 2 or 3 basically have degrees wrapped up. LSU will be there for those who don't pan out...no worries.

remember the time when underclassmen were not allowed to be drafted . percentages suggest that most who enter early will achieve little success . take advantage of that free education , get your degree , you'll more than likely need it .
