All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
Looks like WR's Greg Childs, Jarius Wright, and Joe Adams for Arkansas are staying in school. But it's just Wright commenting so I'd like to see something more official.
CB - Aaron Williams - Texas
WR - DeAndre Brown - Southern Miss
Williams, a two-year starter at Texas, says he was told by the NFL draft advisory board that he’s likely to be a first- or second-round pick. Brown, a 6-foot-6, 239-pounder who has great athletic talent but has been slowed by injuries, probably can’t expect to go that high.
Also, the 5 suspended Buckeyes apparently pledged to return to Ohio State next season. Of course, they needed to do that to play in the Sugar Bowl and could change their minds, so stay tuned.
After saying Monday he didn’t need to address the team about rumors of his potential departure, and then addressing that very topic to his Eagles players on Tuesday, Chip Kelly said Wednesday that the team meeting wasn’t about reassuring his guys that he’s here to stay. The point of the meeting, Kelly said, was to illustrate the difference between perception…
There Vereen link also shows that Wisconsin WR Nick Toon is staying an additional year.
COMING SOON...

You realize no CBA means that no rookie will get a contract, so any kid who leaves early is going to be sitting home broke right?
The draftees better damn well believe there is gonna be a work stoppage, because that's how bad the situation is. Which is what every coach in the country is telling their kids.
this is pure speculation. the situation is not that bad...
the players and owners WILL miss out on billions if there is a work stoppage. its not gonna happen...

Nothing I said is speculation. I did not say there would or would not be a lockout. I simply said what will happen is a lockout occurs come April. If we are in a lockout then by rule the owners cannot sign any player.

Here's the breakdown of what is about to happen, regardless of CBA, Junior, etc. Any time a player is interested in going into the draft with an agent, (from say December when they de-enroll at school until they (usually) sign their contract in August) that player is accumulating nothing as far as money.
So when they go to the speed camps, when they go clubbing with their boys and when they buy cars, jewelry, etc their agent is paying for it as a loan. When they do this, they keep track and charge (for some agents overcharge) interest and when the player gets his first contract, that agent is reimbursed for the "loans" as well as the agent's 3%.
Now compound that with the labor issues as DB mentioned - as a kid who declares early, you are essentially saying you're willing to bet that you'll be able to survive until, say October of 2011 with no money other than those loans. That's a very, very, very bad situation to be in.
Based on numerous sources and rumors, the word was Gabbert was only in if Luck was out and Gabbert was out if Luck is in. If this holds true it looks like Andrew Luck will remain in school.
COMING SOON...
