Alabama only loses 2 early enrolls to the NFL draft.

[Agent Orange]

B-but that's not fair...



Next year's playoff
1. Bama
2. Clemson*/ACC Champ
3. B1G Champ
4. Stanford/Big XII Champ


*Clemson is losing a good amount of talent, but they're in a weak conference with the best QB in the country

I will be at the game vs USC at JerryWorld, but in a suite. How the phuck have I been to more Bama games than you have, you "die hard Bama fan since birth", so you say.....

Probably because your teams sucks and it's the only way you can watch decent football is my guess.

In today's medicine I don't see an injury that could end his career etc. If it was the 70's, 80's or even the 90's I would have to agree, but they seem to fix everyone up these days.

He may still go, they have until Monday to announce.

Complications from almost ANY injury can end a career....or worse cause debilitating recurrent problems for life.

 

[Mike30142]

I thought they had till Monday to declare?

They do.

Complications from almost ANY injury can end a career....or worse cause debilitating recurrent problems for life.

But your typical injuries are no longer career killers.

He could get a spinal injury and be fucked etc, but the odds to me seem to be against career ending injuries for that position.

Skill players that rely on speed etc, that's another story.

 

[Mike30142]

Maybe your sources are better than mine. Last I heard is that OJ, Foster, and one other had not made a decision. Either way, if the QB, whom I'm assuming will be Barnett has a good year, I expect us to be in the mix.

OJ and Foster are both leaning towards coming back I've heard from sources.

Allen got a 2nd round grade is all I've heard on him. This is not due to talent, but rather a stacked DL class entering the draft is most likely.

 

[Wild Turkey]

Wow so their draft grades were that bad huh...well at least you got 2 in (even if Henry is projected as a 4th rounder).

just because it's unlikely and not typical doesn't mean it isn't a risk.

i think the risk is definitely over-stated at times but it is still a risk none-the-less. Just because a doctor tells them they are "stable" enough from a structural standpoint doesn't mean they aren't going to have lifelong problems to some extent either.

 

[MarkOU]

A'Shawn and Henry declared early.

Anderson, Allen, Foster, Howard, Tomlinson and Williams are all coming back. 5 of those are from our front 7.

Alabama going back to back.

OU should be stronger as well despite losing some on D. Look forward to next year.

He made #2 from MSU look like an average high school safety...

In case you missed it, Allen is officially coming back.

And there are more sources saying OJ and Foster will be as well, but not official yet that I've seen.

Should have better athletes in the trenches. Gonna need some help from a couple younger guys at LB.

Foster would be smart to come back...then again nobody is going to accuse him of being a brain surgeon...he gone.

Foster is the one I thought needed to come back the most. He isn't all that good in pass coverage and the NFL is a pass happy league. I was somewhat surprised to see his name among those who were thought to be considering.

That said, his uncle said yesterday he was coming back and he made a post on instagram that hinted at it, but still nothing official.

Allen was the one that worried me the most, he was a potential 1st rounder.

This is as deep as we have ever been at WR...just hope somebody emerges from all the young QB talent. It would be nice to be in a situation where we as fans were bitching to turn our talented QB loose, lol.

 

[rolltide14_0]

Bitches always tryna rain on our parade. A'shawn and Ragland will be first rounders, if Allan and Howard came out, they would be as well. That's 4 first round picks *****, you don't won't none. Not to mention Henry, I mean most likely he's a second rounder, possibly even third, but shit happens.
