Can’t see anywhere that he signed a contract with an NFL team

It is my understanding that he is good to play.

I think he's good because he never declared for the draft, right?

So what was that kid's plan from the get go? Just wait it out and hope someone granted him a 5th year and if not, just give up on football? Kind of confused.

They were stuck in limbo until a ruling. Some guys were likely an extreme long shot to play in the NFL outside of a camp player. You had two paths you could take for possibility to play more. One was to wait for ruling or go to the NFL and burn your college status. They really were put in a shitty position most players didn’t have to deal with. Assuming my understanding of this convoluted situation is correct.

I wish we could have all 3 but I really think (of the 3) he’s the most important.

Having a salty experienced edge setting DE who’s great against the run is going to be so important against mobile QBs (which have been absolute killers recently).

No disrespect to Wright or Harris (both ballers), I just think Junior is the bigger need.

The question is, How many years of eligibility do ex NBA and NFL players have in college? Can they play until their arthritis forces them to the bench?

He may be at the position of need. But I think the 2 ole miss players would have a bigger impact

He only has a TRO (10 days). Still has to win his hearing on Monday.

Wright maybe, Harris I’m less convinced.

I think we have budding superstars on the DL and we might finish the season with one of the best lines in the country. They just need seasoning/reps.

Wrights versatility (in the run and pass) would be an asset for sure. I just want the DE more.
