Tutu done at U of L...

How come if a basketball player is in contact with an agent he is no longer eligible to play but agents are involved with football players before their careers are over.
He’s not opting out. He has been dealing with an injury and it was unlikely he would play Saturday. Just decided it would be best to focus on the NFL draft.
tutu's back injury is not fully recovered.

I don’t know why people are shocked. The kid is a great talent and needs to get paid. Gave us 3 years of great effort. Carries us at times.
IF...its an injury he should have kept his mouth shut instead of telling everybody that he’s quitting.
No one would be the wiser.
I’d rather not known he quit.

Kids have to do what they feel is best for them. There is a difference between the 2. Hawkins quit hard to argue that because he was healthy. Tutu is hurt. He wasn’t playing anyway due to injury. He just declared for NFL.
Hawkins may get a pass this COVID year but bottom line he quit because he was on a losing team. That was 100 percent a selfish move. Again they have to do what they need to do. However it is a slippery slope because some GM’s will look say he quit on his team. He is a little bit a wild card because of his size. Any character issues perceived or real are a problem for him.

Sure it does. Think about it. The names on the front of jerseys are Nike, Adidas and Under Armor..
Think that he has the talent to perform a the next level. Best of luck to Tutu. I read that Hawkins played at receiver in high school so the pro's may see him at a different position than he played in college. Blocking for the QB in the pro's will lessen his value at that level but receiving skills even from the backfield will enhance his value. Good luck to Hawkins.
We've seen them both display some "special" talent. Not just "good", these kids did some crazy good things and could outright change a game.
Talent is there, now their work ethic and an NFL coach's ability to use that talent is a different story. I think if they're used right, we'll hear their names on Sunday. Maybe even in special teams? Hopefully soon I can have a fantasy team with Lamar, Hawkins, & Tutu putting up the points for me!
