bethelbacker Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 Current underclassmen RB's that are headed to the draft (barring any mind-changing): Jamaal Charles, Texas James Davis, Clemson Rashard Mendenhall, Illinois Darren McFadden, Arkansas Ray Rice, Rutgers Steve Slaton, West Virginia Kevin Smith, UCF Jonathan Stewart, Oregon Considering he has to compete with these guys and the graduating seniors in this year's draft, I think it's a no-brainer to stick around and potentially be one of the top guys next year. Hopefully nobody with the wrong intentions is getting in his ear. I'd hate to see him come out and drop to the second day when he could stick around and be a 2nd-rounder or so next year.

clone Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 I think it's a no-brainer to stick around and potentially be one of the top guys next year. I'd hate to see him come out and drop to the second day when he could stick around and be a 2nd-rounder or so next year. Problem is... there is no way to know what round he'd go in this year OR next. In fact, there is no way to know if he'll stay healthy through NEXT season. If I could get a NFL check, I would while I was still healthy. There's no telling what the future brings. Id say "Get the best advice you can Marlon and do what's right for you." but opinions vary. Quote Link to comment
DJR313 Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 Did McFadden officially declare? I heard his dad denied the claim that he declared. If Lucky were to declare, I would probably put him towards the bottom of the list of those listed. I'd hate to see him make a mistake like Darius Walker did. Quote Link to comment
DaveH Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 McFadden announced today: http://www.sportingnews.com/yourturn/viewtopic.php?t=337186 He's gone. Quote Link to comment
Huskerballz Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 Felix Jones could be added to that list as well...I think it's safe to say that Marlon is gonna stay, as the day he has to declare is tomorrow. Quote Link to comment
BIGREDFAN_in_OMAHA Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 1620 just stated that Lucky is enrolled with a full load of classes for the Spring Semester. At least he's not burning his bridges so he can come back if he doesn't declare. Quote Link to comment
