Do we lose Deebo to the pros after this season?

Personally, I think he is the best receiver we have ever had next to Sterling.

Who knows. This staff will actually try to sell him on the idea of coming back and getting drafted in the first round instead of telling him to enjoy being drafted in the 4th round like the previous staff

He's a faster version of P Cooper. I think he's in the conversation with Sharpe, Rice, McKinley, and Jeffery. Probably would rank him behind all of those guys at the moment, but with a huge year, he could move up.

Pro football focus had him listed in the preseason as the #2 draft eligible receiver behind Calvin Ridley fwiw.

That Robert Brooks guy was pretty good too. Ryan Bethea was a beast as well, just couldn't keep his head on straight. I think Deebo has a chance to be as good as any of them, but he hasn't accomplished enough yet to be ahead of them.

He already has gotten and is getting hype as a top returning WR in the SEC, and if he continues to perform well, then he'll be talked up this season.
With a good season (perhaps a 1,000-type season), I wouldn't be surprised to see him go, and wouldn't be surprised to see CWM encourage him to go if he projects well enough.
And that's OK too - we got a lot of talented depth already on the roster with Edwards, the Smiths, Davis, Terrell, and incoming talent such as Vann.
It would be great to have Deebo stay his senior year with us, but it won't (or shouldn't) be a huge impact should he go pro.....

Yeah but lets just enjoy him while he's still here

Deebo is great. But lets also remember with his 2 TD catches on Saturday he doubled his career receiving touchdown total. I know he had the 6 rushing last year (among others) but lets not overread one game and enjoy what else he'll give us this season.

Bruce Ellington compares favorably. People have quickly forgotten just how good Bruce was ... he made a lot of difficult plays look easy.
So does Robert Brooks, in terms of favorable comparatives.
Sterling Sharpe is still the standard. He was Heisman worthy.

Smaller version of Troy Williamson?
That guy could fly. Got him picked in the first round.

Troy was drafted in the first round because of his speed ... but he was a bust.
I was in the old indoor facility the days of the local combine and he had incredible numbers that day - but he was soft, couldn't take the licks, was never a serious football player. He put on a good show working out that day and he had the best agent in the business with him.

I went to HS with Troy and he could fly.
Iirc, when Lou and Skip came to recruit him he ran a 4.39 in regular street clothes. He didn't get hit much because he out ran everybody.

Oh I remember when we were recruiting him out of Silver Bluff. He could absolutely fly. He had some decent numbers - but as you state he rarely got hit. Even at Carolina he rarely got hit. He just outran everyone.
When he got to the NFL he had serious issues getting off the line and he stayed hurt all the time. Worst of all he had serious attitude problems, run-ins with players and coaches alike, and his off field problems were just too much. To top it all off I think he set an NFL record for dropped balls or something like that.
But he definitely had world class speed and was a gifted athlete.
I actually saw him in Aiken maybe a year ago. Not one of my all time favorite Gamecocks.
