Guess we’re going to find out if Drago was an idiot for letting these guys go or not come next season when they have to play against most of them.

Probably realized he can make more $ in college than he would in the nfl going in round 3-5

Florida probably upped their offer or he realized that entering the draft was going to be less lucrative than what he can get from NIL.

I guess declaring no longer makes it official? I thought once you declared for the NFL draft, you couldn't return. Maybe the recent NIL rules changed that?

And increase his draft stock. I think it's a good idea for the guy. He's one of the guys I think Hugh owes an apology...

I think the rule was that as long as you didn't hire an agent, you were good to come back. That rule certainly doesn't matter any longer...

I think it used to be basketball that once you declared that was it. But that has recently changed

In my opinion he didn't have a choice with MANY of them. I also believe he came in with a no nonsense attitude refusing to negotiate or coddle. If he goes 8-4 at least people won't care, BUT if we lose and go 5-7 again yeah..... Folks will wish he didn't take that route. Either way we should prepare ourselves for watching half our roster find success without us.

Yea, I mean he is reuniting with his OC from GT as well. Don't know if banking on Philo is necessarily the best idea, but I didn't see any way he was going to be a high draft pick anyways.

Does old piss even have an OC yet?

Didn't they hire the guy from East Carolina, Baker? He was on the sidelines last night.
