He will probably go down in history as a Tennessee-Martin draftee. It's on the Draft-History.com site. LINK


Yet still no one will remember he played at TTU without googling it and will associate him with UT.

Russell Wilson
Is listed in the Wisconsin list of 2012 draftees. LINK

On wiki as college: Wisconsin (though anyone can change that) LINK

On his NFL page on Espn.com lists Wisconsin as his college. LINK


I don't make the rules, it's just what it is.

That's not what I asked. I asked for your opinion on the matter. If you still say Sconnie then all I can do is lol.

In all honesty, I don't think he would have been as well known had he stayed at NC-State. I think the move to Wisconsin drastically improved his draft stock and I think listing Wiscy as his school is pretty fair.

Everyone who followed college football knew who he was before and knew how dynamic and how he was the only player on NC state worth a damn. They also knew as soon as he left for Wisconsin they became instant contenders for the big 10 title and national championship. He had a lot of respect before leaving.

My opinion is that when you are drafted your college is the last one you played for.

That 1 year at Wisky greatly elevated his notoriety. Yes, a lot of people knew who he was at NC State but the year at Wisky made him a star and helped his draft stock.

Gotta be LSU after half the team bails on Les.


Les is so pissed off at them that he went to New York to be with them when they got drafted.

It sucks to be Les. Recruiting is going to really suffer.

It's pure hell for Les to have to go into a recruit's home and tell him that if he signs with LSU that he actually will have the opportunity to play early, get developed well, and then can leave after only 3 years to get drafted by the NFL.

I can't imagine any elite recruits wanting to have to deal with that shite.

I disagree - as long as he had the same type of season stats wise - the NFL scouts would've found him regardless. That's why guys like Eric Fisher can go #1 overall in the draft.

But neither Da'rick nor Montori benefited their draft stock by landing at TTU/UTM for 1 season.

Doesn't Russell Wilson even have his degree from NC State? I just don't see how you can't consider him an NC State product.
