re: Trenton is gone.

Sort of reminds me of Ray Drew, in unfulfilled potential.

I am a little surprised, but I think we will be ok. Tyler Clark really came on strong this year.

Welp.............next man up

I mean just think of a similar rated prospect, J. Clowney and what he did for USCe...Im a little salty abt trent, I thought maybe next year head finally put it all together.

Oh well.

I think most of us are salty to a certain point. He’s an adult and is in a position to make money. Maybe he’ll put it together in the NFL. I was always disappointed with his output, and believed another year in school would make him more money down the road. He wasn’t a bust but he’ll always be remembered as a guy who never lived up to expectations.

I think the bigger concern to me is that it may force our hand into taking 2 additional DTs in this class, even if we were to have the opportunity to take Tyson Campbell *and* either ITS or Goodrich. It has a cascading effect of allowing other DTs on the roster to potentially produce at a higher level next year that might trigger them to leave early as well. Tyler Clark for example... Having a stocked DL actually helps to bring guys back for their senior years IMO... running thin ends up putting a spotlight on one or two players, which increases draft stock and the cycle continues.

Would I prefer to have him even from a purely production standpoint? Absolutely. But he was passed on the depth chart for a reason... need to get other guys to fill in the space behind the starters now. Hopefully Wyatt had a great year of training at the JuCo and can come in ready to work.

It would be nice if Michael Carter would explode. Tyler Clark has become a force. We need Carter to become one too.

Trenton is gone.

He had his best game vs Alabama. Looked downright unstoppable at times during the game. Finally looked to be living up to the immense potential.

I think he's taking that stock he just built and going with it. I think he lands in round 2. Hard to pass on a DT with that much ability.

He will not go in the first round. Bookmark it.

Have you seen some of our picks over the years?
- NY Jets, Cleveland Browns

Funny how he says he is going to leave and most on here are now saying he is a bust like Ray Drew.

It was said that he lost weight from the opiate problem he had when he left campus. He looked smaller during the season too, could be from not lifting weights like he would have if he stayed over the summer. Trenton Thompson was a beast at UGA and it is a shame that some on here wants to hate on him for leaving early. Plus the league minimum pay is still pretty damn good and much better than what he was making at UGA.
