Credits: 221,792 | A New Home For Perrilloux? Ryan Perrilloux, LSU's former phenom recruit, has been booted from the team. We all know that Texas, when Coach Chizik was there, was his second choice. The article, here, seems to suggest that Ryan will transfer to a lower division school so that he can play immediately.
What do you think, if he were interested, should we welcome in another SEC transfer? Yeah, I know the kid's had troubles, but his dad dies in February, and it seems to me really crappy to yank someone's scholarship right after they lose a parent.
Plus, in almost every case, when a troubled player transfers, the rest of their career passes without incident at their new school--not only because they know that they are out of chances, but because being dismissed forces them to grow up. In Perrilloux's case, I can't help but think that the loss of his father, once he works through the grief, will add a new-found maturity as well.
Give me a minute, and if I figure out how, I'll add a poll.

Give me a minute, and if I figure out how, I'll add a poll. I'm all for second chances, but I would dispute the bolded part. I think that their chances to continue on without incident is 50/50 at best. I would support him coming if he were placed under strict guidelines.

Do I think we have any chance he will come here?? No.

Credits: 42,832 | Re: A New Home For Perrilloux? Can I point out how Sam Keller worked out for Nebraska... Lets not forget on this that both our QB's are So and next year Jr's. How would this kid see the field? Do you set the program back for just one year?
He will see the field in both Bates and Arnauld's Jr year, why risk it. Talent is talent, but I would rather take our QB's and the years they have left..

And as far as what it would do to Arnaud and Bates, well, it would certainly seem to offer Phillip an opportunity to redshirt, now wouldn't it?
And, who says that he beats either of them out? |

Right?

You mean, just like accepting Bo Williams as a transfer? |

Right? I'm with SouthernHawk on this (wow!). The guy is talented, but he has more than enough strikes against him @ LSU. I'd say forget it.

Why mess with the team like that??? Say if Bates wins the job this year. Then Perrilloux comes in and plays a year, who says Bates doesn't take off. He wouldn't want to redshirt. Be in his shoes. Then where do we go from there??
Not a good coaching decision... Not at all. I love talent and we need it, but this kid does have a history.
Which brings me to SH Originally Posted by SouthernHawk I thought Chizik doesn't have the patience for any player with problems? I mean, just because a guy is talented doesn't mean he deserves an extra chance.
Right? This guy has had multiple chances at LSU. SH you hit the nail on the head. Chizik can't bring him in after all his problems and still seem like a disaplined coach like he is establishing. We might as well bring Berryman back (which I know isn't possible) along with others that have been kicked off the team.
No need for the coach to develop a double standard. He's already had a second and third chance at LSU.
Also, how does anyone know he is better then Keller??? Did he play last year? Or are you on the sidelines watching practice down there.
