Last year Bama had Jon Allen, Eddie Jackson, Rueben Foster, OJ Howard,Ryan Anderson and Tim Williams all return. It was 6 All-SEC caliber players that returned.
They have had multiple 1st Rd talents return for their SR year.
Ragland, CJ Moseley, Barron, and Hightower off the top of my head.
Tre White is the only LSU player I remember coming back.
Bama loses a lot of juniors, but they have way more guys that stay too.
LSU loses a lot of guys who are later round type picks or go undrafted like Malachi Dupre or Freak Johnson. That doesn't really happen at Bama.

I dont see why someone like Damien Harris is staying for Alabama. He averaged over 7 yards a carry and won a national title what else does he need to prove

It's a deep draft for RBs. He could slide as far as the 10th RB selected.
Coming back could gain him a million plus dollars. He also doesn't have a lot of wear and tear and is still only 20 years old.

Yeah but Rbs are most susceptible to injury.

Have to respect the decisions these guys make. Some people come from completely different situations. Would love to have them back, but there are reasons that most around here don't understand why they make that decision to declare. Wish nothing but the best for all of them.

I think the only two that could help their case is toliver and weathersby. Jackson is going to test well at the combine and will get picked up in the first 3 rounds. Toliver has so much potential but didn’t put it all together this year.
All except Guice could have used an extra year.
Had Key just continued from his year prior without all the drama (and I'm not talking injury), he would be considered a top 10 pick. Now if he blows people out of the water at the combine, maybe he still will, but it's not a sure thing now.
Jackson should have pulled a Tre White. Sure he would have tested and well speed wise, but he hadn't become that lockdown corner, and that extra year could have put him in the first round. Too many good guys that will likely go in the top round and a half before they get to him. I'm guessing a late 2nd round pick at best.
Clapp putting on another good year could have only done more to improve his stock. Playing guard a full year could have cemented him in the top 2 rounds.
Of course NONE of these guys should fall below the 4th except for maybe Weathersby.

nfl won't be around in 3 years. USFL will be there waiting for Tigers though.... and will pay more $$$. 
See Herschel Walker, Steve Young and Jim Kelly's record contracts....

31 players in 6 years. That's more than a signing class.

Those players take a paycut in the NFL

Jackson..COULD.. be a 1st rounder next year if he improved his tackling and pulled in 3 or 4 INT's.
