Official "Players Leaving Early" Thread

[Sportsbuck]

I think you mean Anthony.

I found a few others players decalring early from CSTV's site:

Jamaal Anderson DE Arkansas JR
Jon Beason OLB Miami(FL) JR
C.J. Gaddis CB Clemson JR
Darius Walker RB Notre Dame JR

sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=2727204

sums it all up IMO

[bearcat]

The article cited two anonymous sources, saying that he was declaring early.

I bet those sources were Longhorn fans.

I think it was a bad decision by Gaddis, Walker and Miller to go early. Gaddis barely played, so what makes him think he will be taken? Horrible decision. Walker could be the go-to-guy next year in Notre Dame, so how does that hurt in any way? He goes from a 3rd rounder to a first if he stays. Zach Miller's probably a first rounder anyways, but if he stayed... He could have been a Top 10 no doubt in my mind.

C.J. Gabble or whatever his name from USC is going early also. That's kind of dumb, you just started playing and you leave early. He messed his chances up big time. USC could have helped him mature and he would have been one of the first taken in a year or two.

I think these guys should stay for their senior year. Obviosuly Jarret and Johnson are exceptions. Those guys belong on Sunday. Everyone else. Finish school.

JaMarcus Russell also made the right decision, even though he'd be a favorite for the Heisman next year. I think he also belongs in the NFL.

WOOO. Gonzalez gone, hopefully Ginn leaves too. Then OSU will have a hard time next season.

Then if Michigan beats them, their win won't be as good.

[Maize]

I don't care if they leave half their team behind because they all missed the bus, a win over the Buckeyes is solid nonetheless.

Ohio State/Michigan is still Ohio State/Michigan. Even if you swapped the Buckeyes players with the Detroit Lions, it'd still get tons of media focus and be a big morale booster for the winner.

What the hell are you talking about? I did not understand that post.

Oh, and it doesn't matter who plays, or who has more talent. We had the most talented team in Ohio State football history in 1969, but Michigan beat us. This game is the biggest one on either team's schedule.

The only reason that I consider this season a success is because we beat Michigan.

Just as with Michigan, we forgot about the 11-0 start the second we lost to Ohio State. We coulda salvaged the season if we beat USC, but they owned us so badly I just wanna get rid of this season. Atleast it was better then last year.

Obviously, you did understand my post, since you knew how to respond to it...

[Sportsbuck]

I didn't respond to your post, smartass.

I said I didn't understand yours, and after that it was just adding on to what DB said.

[darjarbinx]

LOUD NOISES!

[Maize]

Getting back on topic, Jarvis Moss of Florida is leaving early, no clear report on A.P. yet either.

[darjarbinx]

Dan Connor is not leaving.

[jct32]

Peterson hasn't announced he's leaving yet

[Jay [FSU]]

Guys, my star wide reciever is staying... so I guess... We are going to have another great passing game.

[cooljayhu]

does anyone not understand why Walker from ND left? He is a second day pick at best and would have been best served staying put.

Also Monk the WR from arkansas is staying.
