🏈 Does McClain return for Sr year ?

[lilstat]

So what you guys think ? Do you think Saban even tries to bring him back or tries to push him into the NFL ?

 

[ColoradoTide]

Should he return? No, he should cash the big check of a first round pick rather than risk injury next year. He's earned it and I wish all the best for him at the next level.

Will he return? I don't know, but I've read reports claiming he's said he will. I wouldn't complain having him another year but see #1.

I'd love to see him back in Crimson next year. But if he stays, he's not as smart as I think he is.

He needs to have a chat with Sam Bradford if he really is thinking of returning.

 

[BamaJay73]

No. Especially if Bama beats Texas for the NC.

 

[psychojoe]

I think chances of him returning went down when he saw his buddy Hightower go down with that terrible knee injury this past season. If that happened to him it would cost him a lot of $.

 

[Mosby]

I would imagine that Saban urges him to go to the NFL.

 

[KingofBling]

The only thing I'm certain of is he sure out played Spikes Saturday night! Best LB Ive seen all year............ Roll Tide!

+1 this

I love Alabama Football as much as anyone but if he were my friend, I would tell him to go.

Alabama Football is only the second most important thing in his life. His LIFE is the first.

I love Ro and I will be ecstatic if you stay, I do NOT think you will get hurt and I will be very enthused about our defense next year. Still, if you are listening....go.

Because WE have a Coach who actually and genuinely cares about his young men. I agree.

Where he is now, it would almost be wrong for Saban to try and get him to stay.

As it looks now, I think he will be a top 5 pick. Cant get much better than that.

 

[bamatommy]

And Bobby Humphrey.

 

[JoshB]

I truly don't know. I do wish he would stay and after the way I've heard him talk about his mother, I'm fairly confident that she will have a pretty big say in it along with Coach Saban.

 

[LBS]

He will go a long way toward making this team a title contender next season. Should we lose to Texas, that will leave some business that he did not finish while he runs off to play for a below average NFL program.

Question: With the way that he loved playing with Hightower, is he ready to say never again?
Question: Which teams will be project to draft him, and does he like that option?
Question: When is he scheduled to graduate?

 

[lilstat]

Well how many predicted Mt Cody to come back ? I mean he could have easily left and went pro as well. I know there were many reasons he came back, but he was a 1st rounder and decided to stay.

I know he wanted to lose weight and be a 3rd down player and that was a reason he came back. He also had the end of last season that I am sure played a role in it.

I mean, there are a lot of guys that stay to play there Sr year. I wish him the best of luck whichever he chooses to do.

Excellent thought and I concur

Spot on. After watching what happened to Sam Bradford and Jermaine Greshman, I honestly hope he goes ahead and makes the leap. He's ready and doesn't need to risk injury. I also wouldn't mind having him back as we go on another National Championship run though either.

 

[bamaupsman]

I'm torn on this simply because I think that he would love to play a season with a mature Hightower as wingman. I bet he goes, and I certainly wouldn't blame him. But if he stays, we have the football version of the "Twin Towers".

 

[Tider27]

He's as good as gone guys and I'm happy for him. We'll be missing him on defense next season but Hightower will pick up where he left off on the leadership part. I have full confidence Donta' is smart enough to make the adjustments.

Wish he would, but I do not think he will
