Leaving for the NFL early

[HuskerShark]

I believe you have to have been in college ball for 3 years. You can go after your sophmore year but only if you are a redshirt sophmore.

 

This.

Kiper said (As per Sam's article) that RG44 should return for another year. I agree with him.

 

I don't. I think he should come back for 2 more.

He will. His draft stock will vastly improve if he plays another year (barring injury obviously). He even said about a week ago, that he doesn't think he's playing to his full potential yet. Personally, I don't think it's a good idea for very many players to enter the draft before their Junior year. Most Sophmores are still pretty raw and that extra year does wonders for them.

Bo Pelini hasn't had a single player leave early for the NFL yet, and this year won't be the year to break that streak.

I think it'll be tough to keep RG44 for his senior year.

Gregory won't go anywhere. His resume isn't long, nor good enough to be a 1st or 2nd rounder right now. I would worry about him going next year, but Nebraska doesn't usually EVER have players declare early. I think this trend will continue. Gregory stays for 3 years

Ameer has to be looking long and hard at leaving. You gotta cash that ticket if it comes. What happens if he blows a knee next year or some other career ending injury? Ameer's stock is high right now, it would be wise to think about it.

That's why the NCAA allows the insurance policy..........

We just would need Suh to talk to him. He repeated many times that Bo talked him into staying for his senior year and that was the best choice he has ever made.

 

Gregory is good, damn good, he needs to stay at the very least one more year to mature to the point that he can be a draft impact player

AA and RG44......pay attention........good Suh's advice !!!!

 

Who's the last Husker leaving early? Brandon Jackson??

He hasn't had many (any?) that were getting much attention from the NFL before their senior year, either. Pretty much all of his best NFL guys had breakout senior seasons that really put them on the map.

Says a lot more about the quality of the players than Pelini's salesmanship.

I'm not actually making a qualitative statement here, just an observation. But there have been at least a few players that could have left under Pelini - Marlon Lucky, Ndamukong Suh, Prince, Alfonzo come to mind.

Marlon Lucky?

Hmmm.

 

Suh became a sensation during his senior year. Arguably, his breakout game was that rainy Thursday night against Missouri.

 

Dennard was the featured corner his senior year and still didn't get drafted until the 6th round.

 

Prince had some hype his junior year, but it was pretty widely agreed that he would be a late round pick.

 

Of the four you mentioned, only Marlon Lucky would have arguably been better served coming out after his junior year, though Pelini also had the least to do with his career relative to the others.

[Landlord]

Marlon Lucky?

 

 

That's what I said, yeah.
