If they are graded as a round 1-3 grade I would tell them to go.

If you have a good coach, you can get a 3rd round grade as a JR, and improve to a 1st round grade as a SR. That will make you a lot more money.

In Jackson's case, he's still new to being a safety. He started out as a corner for us, IIRC.

If they can improve the intangibles then they need to stay or if they are not NFL material then stay.

Ragland was a 2nd rounder last year, came back and probably got himself an extra 10-15 million by doing so. You only go if you're a first rounder or if you can't improve stock any more. That's not the case for most juniors.

Yeah, much better to let the NFL and its coaches make millions while you sacrifice your body for another 4 years under a 3rd round rookie contract. :roll eyes:

Good news for you all to have that continuity. Wish we get some of the same news soon.

Damn. He's a salty dude. He is as goof of ball skills as you'll see on a safety.

OJ Howard hardly had to display any talent. He was left wide open on every play he made.

I think that was probably the plan all along. Don't use one of your best playmakers all year so the opposing team in the championship doesn't realize they need to cover him.

I doubt Clemson would purposely leave someone wide open during a National Championship. And I doubt Alabama would've purposely avoided using him against the likes of Ole Miss, the game they lost.

Clemson was blowing coverages in the secondary. Alabama exploited them. OJ Howard could ultimately end up a really good player, but the only thing he showcased in the game was speed. We knew he had size.

You bring back guys who have as much experience as any other BACK UPs in the SEC. A few of those people you listed had under 10 tackles this season..

When you have an entire front seven of juniors and seniors each with over a season of starting experience and all but 2 are leaving, you better believe you're about to take a hit. I know it's hard for you, but try to not be such a dumbass.

ETA: oh, and Eddie Jackson is a bum that most SEC fans are glad to have back.

If you get an extra $15m by staying then I'd say you are getting paid for your work.
Would you recommend that people not go to college and instead go straight to work as soon at they are 16? Does the concept of marketable skills not mean anything to you?

I think Bama fans have earned the right to just assume they reload. Bama should be contending for a championship every year when you look at their recruiting and take into account their coaching staff.
