re: Underclassman declaring for the pros.

There is no doubt that our players are leaving early to go play in the NFL. The question is why?
There are several possible answers to this, but that's not the point.
Coach Miles has an obligation to develop these kids for the next level. He is keeping his word and doing his job. You dont become the NFL pipeline leader and not have many playmakers leave your program early each year; it is what it is.
The SEC is a tough physical league many think its the JV for the NFL. Why would u go back and get the bruises and the crap knocked out of u for free when u can get paid for the same attrition.
We lost Brockers, Randle and Claiborne last yr all key spots that we were uncertain if the younger kids could step up. But maybe we are looking at this half empty vs hal full. It reminds me of a Lou Holtz quote many yrs a go when freshman rarely didnt redshirt.

Sophomores- are just glad to see the field-Humble
Juniors- Want to win!- team oriented
Seniors want to get drafted.- Self centered
