I actually think Gibson and Heyward will and should go early. The following year I believe is when rookies will be getting less money under the new collective bargaining agreement.

Also, they are both 1st-2nd round draft picks. Their stock is high, go now. We will have adequate replacements so I am not worried and i would love to see them stay and help OSU win a national title, but I think they have to look after their own best interest first and that is go pro.

I agree, next year could be the year. If Pryor improved over the off-season, look out.

I think they'll both stay. If either one of them should go it's Heyward not Gibson. Gibson could get his stock way higher than it is right now.

And next year was always supposed to be the year. We'll see--a lot of good teams out there. We will be good that's for sure.
