Report: Mathieu received benefits from club
A Sports Illustrated cover story reports that former LSU CB Tyrann Mathieu received benefits from a night club that could jeopardize his future eligibility.
"Since last January, Mathieu has allowed his image to be used on a flyer promoting an event at a local night club, appeared in several promotional videos online and... received benefits at the club that could affect his eligibility," the story reads. It is widely known that Mathieu is working towards rejoining the LSU football program, re-enrolling in classes after a four week rehab stay, and head coach Les Miles recently said he expects a "happy ending" regarding the two. The junior is obviously trying to make a positive change, but prior missteps may make it all for naught if eligibility cannot be achieved.

Lande: Scouts don't consider Wilson 2nd round
Former NFL personnel man Russ Lande tweeted that he hasn't found an NFL Scout that thinks Arkansas senior QB Tyler Wilson should be drafted in the first two rounds.
Lande notes that this is "mostly due to inconsistent decision making and accuracy," and adds that Wilson, "was outstanding in 2011, so (he) still could rally." The senior Razorback landed in a difficult spot this season, and although his numbers haven't really tailed off, Wilson has suffered two concussions in less than a 12 month time span. His gunslinger style won't appeal to everyone, but we are still quite high on Wilson.
Ummm so let me get this straight......preseason Wilson was considered the #2 QB behind Barkley and likely top 10 pick...then Geno Smith, who has a good OLine and a great WR corps, tears up pathetic defenses every week for 5 weeks and all of the sudden he's the #1 QB in the nation...He plays a decent defense in Texas Tech (who allowed 41 points to Oklahoma) and underperforms...but Wilson,...who has the most pathetic Offensive Line I've ever seen in my life...under pressure every play...a coach and OC who have no clue what they're doing...and WRs who screw up routes and can't catch worth a crap half the time (he is also without Gragg...a very good TE), doesn't put up great stats and now he's not even a top 2 round pick...did I miss something?
IMO Wilson has still looked very good this year...especially with what he's working with. His only BAD game was against A&M when he made several bad throws (he was always under pressure but he usually does better under pressure).
Geno has put up stats against freaking marshall, james madison, maryland, baylor, and Texas (bad defense this year) and he's suddenly the #1 QB in the nation and Wilson has fallen out of the first 2 rounds...ok
