Unfortunately not happening. Max will probably be a 2nd round pick, Percy will probably be 5th

Butler could go higher, depending upon how well he does at the all star game.

Shane wants to coach. Five years in the program he is ready to move on. He posted in facebook and told me that he played his last game at cajun field for the championship game. I really enjoyed watching him play. You could tell
He was having a blast out there.

Any chance he could change his mind? When does someone have to recommit to that last season?

He could but it is very unlikely. He spoke to the QB Club towards the end of the season. We learned that day he already has his degree and has been offered coaching/teaching positions by most of the high schools in the city. One offered him the position of OL Coach and head wrestling coach. When you are the HC of any sport, you get a few more dollars. He also wants to look into being a chef. Bottom line, Shane is ready to enter the real world. Playing another season would just defer any income he is set to receive from potential jobs. He is not a pro prospect so it does not make any sense for him to return.

My son and Shane went to school and played baseball together. Such a good kid.

I heard one of the players on Scott's show this morning saying he was coming back to get his master's degree & playing one more year. I didn't catch who it was, but it's a great opportunity if a guy can get a master's degree to take it. Not sure the cost of attaining one, but I would imagine graduate school would pretty expensive.

Can anyone explain how all of this post covid eligibility stuff works out? I can't keep up with all of this who's eligible, who's not, transfer portal times & limits, etc.

You are more interested in painting NO as a place nobody should dare go together with vaccines and masks to keep up with these things about sports . . .

No Peter is very good on deep balls. But no where near as good as Jefferson. Not even close.

Unless I missed something this year I have to agree with Nilly. Going back to the Iowa st game last year we haven’t had a receiver get behind the defense as well as the LeBlanc kid has. IMO. I’m pretty sure I’ve seen every play during that time frame.

First off we were talking about this year, MJ was not on the team that played Iowa state so you can not compare them.

So I just went back through every game this year and MJ has had 8 plays of over 20 yards while Peter has had only 6. I can’t tell how many times they were targeted but I can tell you what they caught.

Here is the breakdown during the season:

In the Texas game, neither player had a reception over 20 yards

In the Nichols game, Jefferson had two, one for 27 and another for 46, while Peter had only one for 31.

In the Ohio game Jefferson didn't have any, while Peter had 1 for 46.

In the Georgia Southern game Jefferson had one for 48, while Peter had none.

In the USA game neither player had a play over 20 yards

In the App game, Jefferson had 1 for 36, while Peter had none.

In the Arkansas State game neither player had a play of over 20 yards

In the Texas State game Jefferson had 1 for 21, and Peter had none.

In the Georgia State game, Jefferson had 1 for 31 while Peter had one for 35.

In the Troy game Jefferson had 1 for 52, while Peter had none.

In the Liberty game Jefferson had none, while Peter had 1 for 31.

In the ULM game Jefferson had none, while Peter had 1 for 27.

In the App game Jefferson had 1 for 27, while Peter had 1 for 35.

I will also tell you that almost everyone of MJ's catches were long throws that he caught, while at least a couple of the long plays by PL, were short passes that he got more than 20 yards. MJ is a deep threat guy, not a over the middle guy. I will say this about our receiving corps.

Kyren Lacy is probably the most athletic receiver we have.
Michael Jefferson is probably the best deep threat receiver we have.
John Stephens JR is probably the best fade receiver we have.
Peter Leblanc is probably the most complete (by that I mean he can catch the slant, deep and fade).
Dontae Fleming is probably the fastest receiver we have (I know this is arguable, he just appears faster on the field then others).
Jalen Williams is the oldest and biggest target receiver we have (at WR)
Emani Bailey is the best RB receiver we have
Neal Johnson is the best TE receiver we have

I think what needs to be pointed out here is Jefferson -Z and Leblanc -X are running different route trees, depending upon the game plan. They do run the same routes on occasion, just out of different formations and those are the routes the Levy throws well.

In my opinion, LeBlanc is more polished in his route running and is more capable of running a number of different routes than Jefferson. Now, I also agree with you that Jefferson has been used more this season to take the top off of defenses.
