Don’t forget Sheldrick Redwine.. I think 10 drafted is possible. Maybe 2-3 in the first round (Richards and the two Jacksons)?

This season will be big for a bunch of underclassmen who might be thinking about the draft!! Miami has to WIN 10 or better games and getting in the playoffs would help as well, BUT no way Miami can have an underachiever and these guys expect to go get drafted.. Because IF the season is a bust, that means player's didn't show their azzes!!
Homer isn't returning unless he gets injured. RBs who are JRs aren't staying their SRs years anymore. Plus he will see that Walton was gone 75% of the season and still got drafted 4th round. And Homer will test better then Walton did too.
Richards I think stays if he feels that there is a QB that will get him right his SR year. If there isn't whats the point? You will end up like Marquise Lee and hurt your stock if you have a bad QB.
Shaq and Pinckney are toss ups. If they leave then we know they had All American type years.
The only SRs not getting drafted IMO will be St Louis (would love to be wrong here. If he does get drafted that means we had a helluva season. Win-Win) , Tito, and Dean. Maybe some snatches Dean in the 7th round like Colbert was but doubt it. Everyone else will be drafted which is **** good.

Nope at least 9-10 especially if a few juniors declare. This is miamis most talented draft class in a long time
**** the 2016 team had more draft picks than 6 or 7(they had 9), this team is more talented than that one

St. Louis graded out as one of the top oline an in the acc and he’s an excellent pass blocking tackle. He was Miami’s best oline man last year...

Depends.
On how many juniors have delusions about their greatness.
I've heard more BS here the last number of years how great this junior is, and how high they'll go in the draft - and the bulk of it turned out to by hyper-bullschitt.
Richards, for one, needs to stay, increase his bulk of work, and enjoy the fruits of his time put into his craft. He's good, real good, but last year's injury didn't help him much. He stays, he can get absolute, top dollar. So can other juniors.
Your biggest money should be up front. Never leave money on the table. That back end money is uncertain, it's lost value, and it's time sensitive.

I agree with most of this, but interestingly Richards is one of the few who have a genuine 1st-2nd round grade and should consider leaving early if he plays as expected. It's other guys that have much lower grades by scouts that I'm concerned will pull a Norton and end up disappointed. Our junior linebackers simply do not grade out like most fans think they're worth.

This is probably true outside of the Top 3-4 schools that are paying a lot, but you can bet Richt is going to be in his ear about Michel and Chubb staying for their senior years, becoming leaders and Top 40 picks.

its an absolute tragedy that we have such a loaded squad that is going to have its potential handcuffed by such incompetent QB play. I really do not understand why Richt has not pursued a grad transfer for this season. The truth of the matter is having Rosier as the QB this season hurts everyone else on the team EVERYONE! He is going to hold back every single position group on offense and defense in one way or another.

If Homer replicates what he did last year over the course of the full season in 2018, there will be absolutely no reason for him to return. There'll be nothing left to prove, nothing left to gain (from a pro-career standpoint), and he will be standing in the way of other talented backs that need playing time. Much like it would be nice to have Walton back this year, what would he have had to gain by coming back to fight for carries with Homer?
When it comes to OLine, DLine, corner, lots of other positions, there is more often than not merit to sticking around for another year to hone your skills, increase strength, prove your mettle, etc. Running back, barring injury, is generally just not one of those positions any more.
Homer should and will go after this season, barring something unforeseen. And that's ok. Bring in two stud RB's every recruiting class and expect to lose at least one of them to the draft after three years. It's what's best for the program and the player. This is a RB only stance and does not apply to any other position.
