Any updates on underclassmen leaving early?

Specifically Holyfield and Hardman.

Reading the tea leaves with recruiting points to at least 1 if not 2 RBs not being on the roster next year with either leaving early (Holyfield) or transferring for PT (Herrien). Also, it looks like we are flirting with a JUCO TE, so that could mean Nauta is strongly considering too.
Wouldn't be surprised to see Ridley leave early either.

Won’t know anything until Jan 2. Think Kirby has established that you can think it but don’t you dare take away from the team by announcing until last game has concluded and guys have done well to honor that

I really enjoyed watching Holyfield this season. And Ridley looked like Calvin Johnson in his prime out there at times.
Hate to lose them

You will forget all about Ridley once Blaylock and most likely Haselwood step foot on campus.

I know Haselwood is great, and I hope we lock him down, but I am really excited about Blaylock. I just think he could possibly end up being the better of the two. I know it's heresy, but that's the way it looks to me.

Man I dunno, I don't see any real immediate difference makers at the NFL level with our Junior class. I know that getting paid is the primary motivation but Nauta to me is the only one who likes like he might be a beast in the Pro's. I seriously hope he doesn't leave.

More than any other player, I hope Nauta stays. If not, I hope he balls out in the pros.

The Patriots will likely need to replace Gronkowski next year. Nauta would fit in nicely there.

I like Holyfield and he is a really good RB but doesn't have elite speed. 3rd rounder?

Nauta is good, but we are so deep at TE, he is the one I prefer to go if only one left. Yes, from a receiving standpoint, I think we would take a small step back, but I am really interested in seeing Woerner. We are so deep at TE, thta is the one position I think we could afford to lose somebody.
Again, though....I would like for Nauta to stay. In out two minute offense he seems to run free. My biggest gripe about Nauta in the 2 minute offense is he never gets out of bounds. He seems to give up timeouts for the sake of getting 1 or 2 more yards, and that is not good.

He is better than many think. His speed is not elite, but he consistently gets to the edge, and has power up the middle. The question mark for me is his receiving skills. He doesn't catch many passes, but that could be more a consequence of our offense than anything.

Holyfield is likely a late pick, I admire him and what he has done, just don't think the draft will be kind to him. Hope I am wrong as I wish him the best.

You might be right. I'm not sure what the running back class looks like this year. While the NFL is definitely a passing league, they also realize what a good RB can do for the team. just look at the impact Gurley, Chubb and Michel have made, then look at Conner at Pittsburgh.
If it is a light class talent wise, I would think Holyfield will be gone. If there are some really good RB's in the class he might stay.

Hardman should stay. He continues to improve and could really jump his draft stock. Holyfield should go - the rb class is pretty weak making him an attractive prospect this year. Nauta is likely gone but would love to keep him. He’s finally became that 5 star beast we knew he would be if he played well. He’s come into his own.

If Holyfield can block and catch, he could actually have a very good Pro career with his size and running ability

Hardman reminds me of Tyreek Hill of the Chiefs, I hope he stays but his best football is ahead of him.

He's good but he's not Tyreek Hill good.
Hill is perhaps the fastest player in pads I've ever seen aND is a better reciever.
If he wasn't such a screw up in HS (Coffee Co)he may have ended up @ UGA.

Are we really? Not really. CW is average at best.
