According to a Tim Buckley tweet. We may get some more help in our secondary after all. Hope we're able to get him.

Here's the tweet:

UL safety Rodney Gillis has changed his mind again; he's now back to seeking a 6th-year NCAA medical waiver so he can play in 2013.

Would not be right if he isn't granted waiver. If missing 2 seasons isn't enough, I don't know what is.

True, that would be huge!

If this happens we just got tremendously better. I was sad to hear originally he was not going to try. This is the best news of the offseason. Until we get the news that the ncaa granted the appeal. Then that will officially be the best news of the offseason.

Agreed! Getting him back for another year would be huge!

I wonder why he originally didn't want to try originally? Was he just tired of football?

I believe Tig is moving to LB. Not sure why Worthy was not mentioned.
