quote:actually, i think players are starting to wise up that staying to improve your draft stock is not nearly worth the risk. Did any of these guys significantly raise their draft stock by staying another year?
BUT, the parts that make others stay, like B Jones @ Bama or Barkley @ USC or Murray @ Georgia, is that they know they will have the opprtunity to put up big #s and get better thru coaching. I mean they are CONFIDENT in the system and coaching.

If the players leaving early were all on offense, then you could make a case. The majority are on D where Chavis has been an awesome coach

So, why did Tahj Boyd stay? Aaron Murray? The Tylers? Barrett Jones? None of these guys have ACL's? Boyd and Murray couldn't go out on a higher note than the last game they played.
Yeah, let's just pretend that players at other teams are all independently wealthy so the money they would get from the league isn't important to them or their families.

Barkley is 1 or 2 this year in draft qb projects, so his combine will tell...BUT his motive was a chance to do something great in the offense which would have handed him the heisman....it was there for the taking.
Murray? Jury still out, but we'll see. He will be in top 5 preseason in Heisan watch. But do you think he would be returning if Georgia was ranked as low as LSU in offense....the answer is NO, at that point the NFL would be a better route.
Barrett? Yes he did. The BCSNCG was like a 3 hr paid advertisement for him.
But again, you are missing the point, kinda. What I'm saying is they had very good reason for staying. Can you say the same today about an LSU offensive player?
And yes, I should have stipulated offensive guys in general although a defensive guy "could" be as turned off by the offense as well knowing it hurts LSU's chances if it doesn't improve.
