petition the NCAA for a sixth season? If he does, will the NCAA grant it to him? I think he should because it will increase the value of his stock come next NFL draft. I suspect the NCAA will grant it to him. What do you guys think?
I'll sign it! Can I sign it? I am totally throwed off by the Best Buy guy missing the game. :rolleye33:
Good post topic. Hard decison for him. Do you stay and play another year (and risk career ending injury) or do you take the money this year for mid - late round pick? I would stay but hard to pass up the oppurtunity to earn 6 figures for a few years.
Depends on his family situation, do they need the money right now? I see him going in the late rounds. If he sticks another year and dominates again, I see him going early, and making more money. I think he would make a great 3-4 LB.
I think he DEFINATELY should! Look, if the NCAA can grant Jason White and that freak'n thug, Dvorecek--both from OU, medical redshirt years, then a standup guy like Pittman deserves it! If he petitions and is denied, then that would be the WORST decision the NCAA has ever made in these types of cases/situations.
Kirston is a solid college DE, but staying another year will not help his draft stock. He'll be a 5th or so round guy this year, and that won't go up any next year - it may go down. If Tyson Jackson comes back, he & Ricky Jean Francois will be our 2 best DEs. Kirston may not even have a starting spot. He needs to get in the NFL & make some money while he's young & healthy.
Jean-Francois is a DT/DE, he played both last year, and was just as good at both. I personally would prefer to see him at tackle because we lose 2 senior starting DT.
He was a situational DT though. He didn't play DT full-time, and he's been practicing at DE all year.
