Top programs go through this attrition all the time and they think they are the only ones losing so many juniors.

I have seen Georgia fans go back and forth about this.

All you can do is keep recruiting at an elite level.

I support any player that wants to go. It’s thier choice. The only one I thought should NOT have gone was that skinny #15 wide receiver a few years ago. I knew he wasn’t ready. The NFL has men and u best be ready.

Remember the Miles era of 3+ losses and all our raw eligible talent rolling out?

This talent has materialized with a title.

Next Louisiana legends up

This group was so close that anyone with any draft stock is wanting to ride out with them. Might as well end their college career on the ultimate high

The reality is that attrition needs to happen to make numbers work. Coaches hand out 125 scholarships in a five year cycle and there are only 85 spots. These guys draft stocks won’t be higher. Reload and repeat.

They just achieved their goal. I don’t blame them for leaving. Next man up, this is why we recruit

I think most of us wish the guys well when the get picked on the first two days. It is the guys going in the 6 or 7th round or not picked at all that we wish had made a better decision.

The deadline to declare is Friday so the players had to make the announcement soon. If I had to guess they all had their decisions made prior to the game Monday night tho.

Nervous? Hell no. I wish them well and am excited to see some of the underclassmen get a golden opportunity to showcase their talents next year. There’s absolutely nothing anyone can do about young talented athletes going for the big money. So there’s nothing to be nervous about at all. We just deal with it and hope for the best.

After this year, I don’t blame any of the starters leaving early. Go out on top!

I can’t fault a guy if he gets picked period. A guy could come back and maybe improve his stock 2-3 rounds, but you risk the chance of injuring yourself or if you just have a down year. These guys exposure will not get any higher than right now next season. Strike while the iron is hot.
