I don't fault the kids for leaving but I'd love it if a few didn't bail at the first opportunity.

Holy crap....you mean....we might actually have some underclassmen stay for a change? Collins may be the most important need, but both would be amazing. What a group of running backs to have!!!!!

Beast. We would be a playoff contender without needing to throw a pass all season.

I really hope Hill and Collins stay.

The combination of both of them staying will only help each others draft status next year, IMO.

I haven't checked with any mock draft sites but I would estimate that Hill projects at best as a high third rounder and at worst a high fourth rounder. He could improved that next year (with a similar type season) to a low first rounder.

Collins probably projects as a high second rounder to a high third rounder. Another productive year under Cam can probably get him in the middle first round for the 2015 draft.

Collins is going to help us with recruiting. That means this year we can reach on a prospect and take another year to develop him. If he would have left we may have been hurt at LT for the next couple years unless we recruited extremely well. Experience can make up for lack of talent a lot of times. Collins brings back talent and experience. HUGE boost if he stays with us. I respect Hill alot more if he stays. He feels like he owes his coach and his university for standing behind him when the world was down on him. And he's not just saying that he's passing up alot of money to prove it. RESPECT the hell out of that Jeremy.

Of all of the possible players leaving, Collins is the most important. We will have rbs, and receivers, but Collins talent and experience will be needed to protect our young qbs, AND open up Co-Heisman holes for Hill and Fournette.



J/k Terrance, you will win it and shock the world.

Collins realizes he will not play left tackle ($$) in the NFL and is probably staying because he knows NFL teams will want to see him at either right tackle or guard.
