We brought in 3 highly rated WRs last year, and red-shirted 2 of them. Shaq Roland couldn't get on the field enough due to so many others at his position who were experienced players. The primary guy ahead of him was Sanders. Hopefully he along with Fuller and Smith will be able to contribute this season. Ellington was our leader in receiving yardage, and Byrd and Nick Jones will also be able to step up. Our TEs will also be solid options...
Losing Ace was a blow still, because I felt we had another receiving duo for next season that would be dependable and consistent, like Alshon and Gurley in 2010, and Rice and McKinley in '06. We'll still have Ellington plus several other options to step up...

Steve Spurrier, Jr., tweeted yesterday that a record 74 underclassmen have declared. It's insane. I can see the logic for kids who are likely to go in the first round, and for running backs -- but most would be better off staying another year.
Many of these players will never get drafted and never play a down of professional football. Would suck to trade your never-to-be-replaced senior year
for the unemployment line.

With this being considered one of the weakest drafts in recent memory, I would assume that kids are thinking if they leave early that they could improve their draft stock. Not saying it's smart, but I think a lot of late round guys are figuring they'd stand a chance of being drafted a littler higher this year than waiting a year in a potentially stronger draft class and be drafted later.

Here is the 73 players that have been granted eligibility.
73 players granted special eligibility for the 2013 NFL draft.
Fluker is not listed. Guess he's not considered an underclassman.

Are there still players on the fence?

The 15th was the deadline to declare.

I think it may be time to take the sticky down.

I just read why DJ Fluker is not listed on the 73 undergraduate list.
So even if you red-shirted and can come back for another year; if you have graduated, you are considered in a different category.

When I posted the list of 73 early entrants in the NFL draft, I heard from a couple readers who wanted to know why Alabama’s D.J. Fluker and Syracuse’s Justin Pugh weren’t on it. The reason, according to the NFL, is that Fluker and Pugh are in a separate category of players in the draft, having notified the NFL that they have graduated.
So even if you red-shirted and can come back for another year; if you have graduated, you are considered in a different category.
