re: Fournette - "I’ve got two more years left of college"

Two years of remaining college coursework needed for his degree maybe.

Precisely.

I honestly don't think he has 100% made up his mind. He probably won't make that decision for until after next season. So for now he does have two years of college left. He doesn't have to make a decision this year and is under no obligation to.

Every NFL owner in January, 2017:

Gonna shock the world and come back.

Should we have a separate thread for Ben Simmons on this topic?

Anyone who finds it odd that he would say this has never paid attention to the actions of this young man. Someone as humble as he is would never publicly say that he will be good enough to declare in three years. No matter how asinine that statement sounds. Every accolade he has received he has credited someone other than himself for it.

Many athletes could learn a lot from him. I can think of a couple youngsters from Louisiana who could do much worse for themselves than to model their pursuits after him.

Buga isn't your typical college star. I would not be surprised to see him play here 4 years

This. I'm sure he will come back to finish his degree at some point

Or he could finish early (before the 2017 NFL Spring Training starts) and play Pro Ball in 2017. He wouldn't be the only person to finish in three years (there was a fellow at USA, Michael Kearney, who had his Bachelors degree when he was 10 years old, but Fournette is probably not that advanced). Never the less, Fournette would gain nothing from staying through his senior year except finishing the degree. But Fournette has a different mindset from most other college students/athletes.
