Which players from your team are declaring early?

LSU is losing 10 or more juniors due to the draft. I think Miles is losing control or people are sick of whats going on there. Alot of these guys will be late rounders or not drafted at all. After losing the seniors also, they wont have many starters back. Of course they only had 8 starters from last year starting this past season. Another young team for LSU in 2013.

I don't know about that. Don't be surprised to see Milner, Fluker, Mosley, and possibly Lacey declare. But, it's Alabama, they'll just throw another 5* guy in their place probably.

Right, people were talking before season about how much they lost. So much for that.

I think Lacy would be crazy not to go. Yeldon will likely take more and more carries from him.

He should and will leave. He's got NFL game. I wouldn't think twice.

Mosley said before the game he was returning I think. That could change I suppose. I'd have to think the rest of them are gone.

Eifert said last night was his last game and Cierre Wood is expected to declare too even though he will probably go undrafted.

I like that Eifert kid. That's the first I've really watched him. He can get up and catch the ball.

Yeah seems like he catches everything regardless of coverage.

Stanford's two TEs declared. Ertz is good but Tolio or whatever is nothing but tall. I didn't watch a whole lot of their games but I don't really remember him making too many plays.

Dion Sims, Will Gholston, Le'veon Bell, Kenny Stills, Tony Jefferson, Robert woods are ND opponents that have declared.

Word is Bama players announcing tomorrow.

Some "mulling" the decision. I think they all bounce.

Then why leave early? If his prospects were good, I could understood. But if you're going to most likely end up an UDFA....might as well return for your Senior season. JMO

Eh, he graduated this December and has a little girl. Add to that he spent most of the year in the doghouse somewhat following his suspension and I can't really blame him for moving on if that's what he wants to do.

He was a senior this year.

I just think he has a better option. Didn't know he had a kid though.

Oh yeah for sure he'd improve his draft stock by returning if he gets carries but that's not a guarantee. I'd definitely like to see him back but its been pretty much well known he was done for a while. Maybe getting an undraftable grade back would change his mind, who knows.

Wood leaving is a decent loss for ND. Way better than Riddick, imo

decent loss for sure, but Riddick ran the ball a lot harder than Wood did this year. He seemed to dance and tip toe around a lot rather than hit the hole and get up field. Riddick was also a better receiver out of the backfield and didn't have the off the field issues. I'd be fine with Wood returning, but his carries are going to be split again and it might in his best interest to just save his body. Atkinson, Amir Carlisle, Will Mahone, Cam McDaniel and Greg Bryant are going to see the field and get touches.

Riddick averaged 4.8 YPC, Wood averaged 6.5 YPC. Not sure how Riddick ran it harder. If anything its a joke Riddick had so many more carries.

Like I said, he will be a loss, he was a solid back. A lot of his games were similar to Oklahoma. Ripped off a 62 yard run and had 6 carries for 12 yards otherwise. He was a better home run threat than Riddick because he was faster, but Riddick was more of a consistent, straight ahead runner. Wood danced or ran side to side more often than just hitting the hole and getting what the defense gave him. He did the same thing last year and Jonas Gray started getting more carries because he better fit what Kelly wanted to do. He also lost carries because of his off the field issues and suspension, which were all on him.
