    Four pages about someone who turned his back on our program? That’s stupid in itself.

    Why would you say that he played his four required years at UL this is a bonus year. I'm so sick of people treating these athletes as I'm ok with you as long as you're providing for my school. No one really knows why he is testing the market. If it wasn't for Covid he wouldn't be here this coming year anyway so what are we really losing.

    Those kids are getting paid. It’s not like student athletes from 10 years ago. Getting COA and NIL is no longer amateur athletics. So the “protection” of student athletes feelings is over.

    Doesn’t matter either way…he gone

    Cedric has been an outstanding player and leader since he stepped foot on campus. This was not a decision he took lightly. He has a great relationship with the entire coaching staff. He has to do what he feels is best for him and his family, remember, he is a father now. He could have been promised more exposure, NIL money, etc....

    How many of you have left your job for something you felt will allow you to grow and make more money? I did 1 1/2 years ago. I still have great relationships with my former boss and employees. They did not disown me because I made a decision I felt was better for me. In fact, they supported me.

    Cedric gave 4 years of his life to be a Ragin Cajun often times playing hurt. He is the 2nd leading three point shooter in the history of this school. I thank him for what he has done for our program and wish him nothing but the best.

    So if we shouldn't care about their feelings then they shouldn't care about our University it's just a business decision until one side decides they no longer want to participate in said agreement. This kid fulfilled his agreement to play four years for the Cajuns as far as I'm concern he can do whatever he wants with his bonus year. Not like he's leaving early.

    My prediction is that except for guaranteed first round picks, "NIL money" will prove to be local.

    Portal Popping will null nil.

    I believe that as the returning "leading scorer' for Louisiana Russell was in for a NIL payday, locally.

    Very well said, Cedric gave us 4 great years and having someone in any program for 4 years will be very rare in the new landscape. Wish him nothing but the best.

    I saw where CBS Sports put out their final transfer portal rankings, over 1,700 players entered the portal. Russell was #67, just behind Jordan Brown who was #65 and ahead of Michael Flowers who was #68. Devante Jones was # 14.

    With only 1,750 starting positions in D1, and it’s almost certain no player transfers out to ride the bench, there’s a whole lot of butt hurt coming when taking in account the unknown number of starters who stayed with their teams.

    The very sad part is how many guys will lose their path to an education. Don’t see any NIL candidates coming out the portals.

    ^ Very good post, completely agree. I wish Cedric was coming back but he needs to do what he feels is best for himself and his family. Wish him the best with his future.

    I agree.

    Chalk it up to him being young or maybe he really feels this way, but for such an outstanding leader, this was one bad decision in my opinion.
