If he is graded anywhere in the first 4 rds he should go. The injury he has come back from is to risky to not get paid if he can. He can always come back and get his degree.


Completely agree. He should do what's best for him. He's a great kid and has already given us plenty.

For what it's worth, Dave Matter and Joe Strauss said (yesterday afternoon on the radio) they think Josey will ultimately return. Reasons? He's too small at 5'8" and not developed enough as a pass catcher - which would have to be his likely niche in the NFL.

Plus, being brutally honest, he's viewed as damaged goods. A view (as they pointed out) he himself may share if fear or re-injury is the primary factor in leaving. He's too small to be a true feature back or special teamer and knee injuries drove a big NFL back like Marcus Lattimore to the 4th round. So he's likely a borderline draft commodity.

That said, coming off a 3 TD national spotlight his draft stock (if he has any) is probably at it's apex.

Regardless, he's already an MU legend so if he leaves you only wish him the best.
