BIGREDIOWAN Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Hate to see him go, but it's the right decision for him to go ahead and give it a shot. Thanks and good luck Jack! 1 Quote Link to comment
Comish Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Good luck to him. It's also fortuitous that he's not leaving an empty room behind... Quote Link to comment
ColoradoHusk Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 I saw a Twitter post which I agreed with, instead of wording it as “Player X is leaving the program” it should be worded as “Player X declines extra year of eligibility”. It just sounds more appropriate in these instances where the only reason a player is eligible for 2021 is due to COVID. 5 Quote Link to comment

Stoll is already projected as a 5th round pick. If he has a good combine, he works his way into the 4th. On top of being a 6 year senior if he comes back. 2 Quote Link to comment

Stoll gave everything he had for NU for 5 years, including fighting through a semi-serious injury this year. Also, is Roby considered a failure because he left NU a year early? He made the Thunder’s opening day roster this year. 4 Quote Link to comment

I would take that bet as I don't see him being drafted. 1 Quote Link to comment

I haven't seen that anywhere, but i could be wrong Didnt say he was a failure, just wasn't drafted, reading way to much in there. Roby was drafted in the 2nd round, #45 pick. Also, in the NBA, outside of the lottery, it really doesn’t matter where a player is picked. He just needs to improve as a player and hope to make a team. Quote Link to comment

Who was the player that declared early, then didnt get drafted, was that pitchford? It might have been Pitchford, but he was also ready to be done with school. I don’t get why people always want guys to stay and play at the school, even if the player isn’t into it anymore. Quote Link to comment

J-MAGIC Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Some quick research, people are getting the "fifth-round grade" from NFL Draft Scout. But this site seems a little sketchy and I remember it also listed JD as a second-round pick last year, so maybe not the most reliable resource. They also have him as the No. 12 TE. The Draft Network has him as the No. 429 player, ESPN does not give him a draftable grade and Walter Football doesn't have him in its top 19 tight ends. So I think he's probably a UDFA guy with this one outlier place saying he's a fifth-round pick. Which is fine. He was a good dude who played his a$$ off for NU. If he wants to be done for whatever reason that is perfectly understandable and valid and we should all wish him well. 1 Quote Link to comment

I wonder if anyone has ever looked into their player ratings vs fan base size to see if there is a correlation. It wouldn't surprise me if they were bumping certain players from large fan bases up just to increase traffic. As for Stoll, I wish him the best. I think he is leaving at the right time with the younger players improving considerably and Fidone coming in. I'm guessing his time was going to be shared at best next year. 1 Quote Link to comment

It’s also understandable why a player wants to be done. Quote Link to comment
