Agents have ramped up the recruiting on college campuses. They have more ammunition to offer players to leave school than ever before & it’s a major issue for a large number of power 5 schools.

Not surprised with Ja’Marr Chase opting out. Nearly impossible to repeat his production from a season ago. He seems to already be the overwhelming consensus WR1. pic.twitter.com/yIQyQ5JObe

How will this affect the LSU offense that now only has 2 starters returning from last year’s team? That remains to be seen, but we’ll find out starting on Sept. 26.
