That ESPN analysis is interesting. What it says is that Miami players are under-drafted (that is, they last longer than they should and the players get less $$$ on their rookie deal). That means that the Miami guys - in general - should stick around longer and improve their draft stock with a rising program. There's a big money difference between round 4 and round 2, and the risk of injury is so high, that second contract is not guaranteed.
Only exception is RBs, who are at a much higher risk for debilitating injuries.
Hope Michael Jackson realizes this and comes back. Could mean millions unless he's a lock for round 2 or 3 already.

These "NFL Scouts and Executives" have done about as much homework as Josh Jobe did his first 6 years of HS.

He should, talented enough that’s for sure
got it. pretty bad for these guys to be saying acl, guess that qualifies as fake news
Feel bad for Herndon. Kid played awesome this year. I've always thought he would be an impact NFL player. That injury sucked. Really hope its not an ACL.
M. Jackson leaving leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Not the type of attitude in the locker room that is going to win our program championships. If you are a 1st or 2nd rounder then I cant argue with the choice go get that $$. Otherwise you need to get better and, more importantly, get your FREE DEGREE.

But, but, but........more motion, a couple reverses and jet sweeps, and Dallas in the Wildcat earlier would have beaten Clemson. Right??
There was probably a time when this was true. Those diamonds in the rough aren't there so much anymore.

Michael Jackson had a solid year, but let's be honest, the person he is harming most is himself. From a team perspective, you can replace guys like him-- he's solid, but not elite. If we hit on our evaluations like we should, we can almost certainly replicate his impact.
It is going to be tough to replicate guys like Norton and Mcintosh though, because you spend a lot of time developing them to get one very good season from them, which was good enough to get them to be 3rd and 4th round guys. The trade-off to making so much of the program being about NFL, NFL, NFL is that a 3rd round grade gets these guys to make the jump almost instantly.

Ask the GMs who let Antonio Brown slip to the 6th round, let Devonta Freeman slip to the 4th round, and let Allen Hurns go undrafted.

Well, their opinion matters more than yours so...

Some people can't get past their blind prejudice. You aren't a hater if you speak honestly about these kids talent, or lack thereof.

Nothing anyone on here says is going to change what any of these guys do. It's just someone's opinion and the have the right to voice it.

Look, just because Colbertson was here for only one year as a grad transfer, played in only 8 games and got hurt does not mean D money can't use him as an example to make his point.

The problem is the counter argument.
If you’re at say...Bama...and the coach tells a recruit “we will get you more money at the draft than Miami” and neglects to tell him he’ll be overrated and his career will be a bust… but, his initial contract on average will be higher...that could be a compelling reason to choose that school.
I don’t think there’s a right answer to the “stick around/jump” argument, but I trust and will back the kids to make that decision over coaches or fans 100% of the time.
Also, it doesn’t mean that Miami guys should necessarily stay in school. And, the risk of injury in football is no higher in college football than in the NFL (I have no evidence to back that up; football is violent)…so returning doesn’t save the kids from injury.
Hurricanevision, the guy who does the still-frame breakdowns, is actually qualified to do the risk analysis necessary that EVERY draft-eligible player should do before making his choice, imo. Unfortunately, I’m sure less than .01% actually do.
