🏈 With the nfl lock-out alomost for sure,which underclassmen stay?

[Strick]

I know it is premature but has anyone considered this?Add to the fact some of Kiper's high mock draft picks aren't producing to the level that was anticipated...

yeah, TerryP posted something about this a while ago if I remember correctly. i'm too lazy to search for it.

As it looks now, some of our underclassmen could benefit from staying around another year.

 

[Brandon Van de Graaff]

At least 6 players indicated in August (to a consultant/advisor that was brought in by UA) that if they were graded round 2 or better, they would leave. A lot can change from August to Jan however...

not going to tell us which six huh???

lol don't hurt to ask. lol

If there is a lockout, I'm going to go out on a limb & say all of them.

Of the juniors that come to mind: Ingram, J. Jones, Hightower (sophomore), Dareus,

I would say the other 2 are Barron, and Upshaw.

Right now I would say the one with the highest stock is Upshaw. That doesn't mean anything. It all depends on a teams individual needs and if they need a RB, it would be a safe bet that Ingram would fit anybody's system in the NFL.

I agree RJ. UpShaw is having the best year, but the draft doesn't always reflect the players stats. As it stands now, I'd say Barron or Dareus would be the highest drafted. Ingram isn't having a great year and may not get to 1000 yards, and Julio is still not putting up superstar numbers. Again, doesn't mean the NFL draft is built around stats, but I can't see Julio being a first round pick.

My guess?

Dareus -- Early to mid 1st round
Barron -- Mid to late 1st round
Ingram -- Mid to late 1st round
Jones -- Early to mid 2nd round
Upshaw -- Late 2nd round
Hightower -- 3rd or 4th round

We are going to have a HUGE number crunch on scholarships if the NFL locks out and these 6 don't opt early. As it stands now, we have 8 seniors on scholarship. We already have 19 commitments.
