Question for the CFB aficionados, first off, is it just me or is there alot more Juniors declaring this year than previous years?

And secondly, I'm sure not all of them are 1st rounders, but how many Juniors are considered top 20 picks (names please), even if they aren't in areas of need for Miami, they could be pushing better talent down to 19, or give us trade bait at 19 if the right guy falls to us. I realize settling on a GM and OC will dictate possible names for us in the draft, just curious how all of the early entries might affect us?

I think you're right. Going for the gusto; screw getting an education. "Show me the money" going on.

I believe today I heard where there were 73 juniors who came out last year, and as of right now, there are 80 coming out this year.

increases the talent pool. Now if only we can benefit from getting draftees who will contribute this upcoming year.

For sure, some of that... But a lot feel pressure from their families who are struggling and need the financial help... Like the story of Maurkice Pouncey declaring, his Dad had got hurt, family was in debt struggling financially... So he went early and let Mike finish school... It is not all gusto in lots of the cases of early declaring... If I was in those shoes, my family needed help, I could go in first 3 rds and help my family, it would be hard not to help them.....

Come on guys. I don't know how many of you grew up in the 50's and 60's. At that point, colleges were opening up. Every once and awhile, some regular non-athlete kid would want to drop out of college (or not go) to pursue a entry level job. The old folks would say, "no, get that degree."

But of course, these jobs weren't offering millions of dollars that would ensure the financial security of not only the player but his whole immediate and extended family for generations to come.

I remember my law school roommate and I laughing even in the 70's about some guys saying what you guys are saying and it's like "You are remembering the rule but not the exception to the rule."

Sign and collect your millions.

And THEN WHEN YOU ULTIMATELY RETIRE from professional sports, you can always go back and get that degree.

Hey for some athletes in college this is the only shot at making some money before a life of obscure jobs and baby making. I am stating the obvious by saying that they would rather leave now when healthy than risk an injury next year then thy have really no chance of all of being drafted .

Correct, Finshady. And what you say has happened on many occasions. The guy goes back and suffers a career ending injury.

Hell, I've even seen it happen in a post season bowl between the senior year and the draft.

I wonder ho many of the players leaving early have children already that they have to take care of with any income, and why is it that they aren't smart enough to figure out the trap that being set for them by the children's mothers?

Ha, ha, ha, ha. You're funny Finshady. Athletes are not the only ones who think with the wrong head.
