Is there any chance Claiborne just can't get this taste out of his mouth and comes back for his senior season?
That would be sweet but that would have to be his own personal choice cuz I seriously doubt he will be advised to stay by anyone. Top 5 pick
None. He is a skill guy and his stock is as high right now as it will ever be. If he comes back he risks his draft stock declining even if he individually plays well. Corner is a tricky position because sometimes you can play great football and still get beat for instance if you have a weak pass rush or say you pull a hamstring, etc.. No need to return and be picked apart by the draftniks.
If he's a moron he'll come back. Come back for what? To fight and work for another undefeated season only to have your head coach keep playing a QB that couldn't start for a Div II team?
Just makes me wonder now that collective bargaining has set a cap on rookie wages, I mean what's the difference in dollars from the 5th pick to the 10-15th?
Randle had some nice plays, OBJ didn't block worth a damn. Landry I saw once, Wright I never saw, and Shep I never saw. I thought the game plan was a good one Jefferson just didn't play worth a damn. Was probably his worst game ever. Alex Hurst had a terrible night, but tip the cap to Bama, their defense attacked us at our weakness and confused a bad quarterback.
The game plan sucked. You're up against one of the 2 best defenses in football, and you only make them cover 5 yards of turf all night?
