Getting some guys to stay

The only one I can see staying is Landry but I think even he is a long shot to stay.

I think money trumps 'elusive NC' everyday and twice on January 15, 2014

Let's say you're a free intern, training for a job. A company in your dream field comes along, offering to pay you a salary somewhere between "a lot and a shite ton." Would you stick around to help out?

Says it all...this thread is over !

Some of our juniors are basically assumed to be leaving. Would any stay for the prospects of playing for that elusive national title they almost had? Do y'all think that anyone on offense (OBJ, Juice, Hill) would even remotely consider coming back to help out Jennings/Harris/Rettig(?) next year? On defense if we at least got one of Freak and Ego to come back that'd be huge. If we could get some key guys to stay we can definitely make a run next year. I know it's wishful thinking but with how our defense performed last night but it gives me a lot of hope for what the team could be like next year!

Landry and beckham are gone. Both are potential 1st rounders, no later than 2nd to early 3rd. It would be selfish to let them risk injury when there stock is so high, and you are breaking in a very talented but new QB in the SEC. Defensively everyone should come back although they may not. Johnson nor ego can even sniff the 1st round right now. Likely 3rd to 4th round. Ego, who has clearly had the better season of the two, with a shot at the low 2nd or early 3rd if he test well.

I wouldn't count on any of our big time Juniors coming back next year. We have the potential for a NC run if they did, but realistically with a new offense I think we have about the same ceiling as this year except the strengths on either side of the ball will be reversed. If all the expected guys leave I think we go 9-3 next year. 2015 could be a different story.

Landry may, but I just hope Freak, Ego, and Rasco come back.

Out of the peole you listed i think ego stays and juice might

With the new rookie wage scale, I think we are all in agreement you will see more guys go quickly because the difference between the contracts the guys in the 1st 3 rounds get really isn't that huge. An extra year of getting paid and being one year closer to that lucrative 2nd contract however can be huge.

ETA: Y'all are talking about Anthony Johnson being a disappointment and that he should stay, but it wouldn't be even a little bit surprising if he goes. He has to know that he will be a Combine hero and therefore jump up draft boards.

You never know...Saban had the leaders of his offense and defense come back - AJ + CJ Mosley.

Mosley wasn't officially a starter last year, so I think that is why he came back, and AJ barely had any draft stock at the end of last year (people credited the O-line for his success).

All of then need to stay and show they are 1st round worthy.

Somebody needs a reality check.

Landry may

0 chance a top 3 round WR stays to play for a QB with 0 passes coming into the season. The WRs are gone. Hill and Hilliard as well.
