The fact that...

[fraggle]

Pinckney and Quarterman BOTH stayed for their senior year and expect to win indicates to me that they know their teammates potential, new coaches abilities and have high expectations for 2019. If they had serious doubts they were both good enough to consider the draft but stayed with their team. That is so Hurricane I like that. No reason than that we fans should have equal expectations.

 

[Genghis Cane]

It shows they have a lot of faith in Diaz. Season can’t get here any faster.

I think they were smart enough to listen to coaches and NFL personal that said stay for SR. year. reversing a trend where payers went and should have waited McIntosh, Kayya, Norton, Boulware this year, J.Jackson as well this year
NCAA need to set up regional JR days for players and get the straight dope.... not from Agents( yes, that's you Rosenhaus)
family, etc

 

[305to954]

Tbh idk either would have gone b4 rd 4..idk if shaq can be on the field in the league on 3rd down..and I’m not sure pink is more than a quality backup/sub package guy..both need to put together great seasons

You could add Walton and Yearby to that list but they have families so I do see why they left.

Those two staying tells me nothing more than they likely weren't going to be drafted very high. After seeing where our players did go...they likely made the right move.

Possibly but had Diaz left I think they would have gone too

This.

It shows they didn't want to end up undrafted.

 

[fraggle]

Wow, brutal response...I for one was thrilled when they announced they would stay. Some articles suggest our LB's could be the best in the country

 

[pyhooya]

Or they didnt want to be 5th round picks

 

[CaneDog66]

Happy both of them decided to come back; for the team and the fans, plus for their draft statuses if they have really great Senior seasons. I think they both do given the enormity that will be put on them leadership wise this year, and production wise due to the scheme we play.

RBs are different - very few get drafted in first few rounds these days so no reason to stay ... bc they wont move up

 

[KrazyCane]

Both will be 1st round picks after this season

 

[OriginalCanesCanesCanes]

That was not going to happen

 

[South Side Chi Cane]

It indicates to me that they are smart and were were willing to listen to people who had their best interests at heart.

 

[OriginalGatorHater]

This is just speculation just like my statement was.

 

[OrangeBowlMagic]

It shows absolutely nothing other than they’re more intelligent than most of the kids who were in their situation previously. Literally nothing more or less. They’re smart.

 

[OriginalCanesCanesCanes]

This is just speculation just like my statement was.

Of course it’s speculation, but there’s reasonable speculation and outlandish speculation.

Unfrafted is outlandish. Maybe middle to late rounds, but not undrafted. I don’t think you actually believe they would go undrafted.

You are correct. I was being hyperbolic, but I would not completely rule out being undrafted. Even some of the late round LBs being drafted were very solid LBs in college. If I was a betting man I would put money on 5-7th round.
