And look life comes first and we wish nothing but the best for Brooks. Brooks has a 70% chance of survival if the cancer hasn't spread and a 60% chance if it has. Football is the last thing that LSU and its fans should be worried about when it comes to Greg Brooks Jr. So we pray for Brooks and his family that he recovers and becomes cancer-free.
