Jock sniffer??....Your *** thinks I GAF about an agent/Lawyer you've been around??...FOH Faqquit....I have a Son who is a Corporate Lawyer in South Fl for a very distinguished Firm...only a complete Moron (similar to you) would think Drew wouldn't have gotten Willis drafted...All of Willis's issues??...Lol....Rosenhaus has had clients that Far exceed Willis's issues....Please go away...
Drew Rosenhaus slithers on his belly and his track record concerning UM players is deplorable (see below for several examples) and the thought, of all people, that Rosenhaus would have improved Willis's draft experience is a combination of insane and hilarious. By the way, in a eerily similar situation, Rosenhaus
REALLY helped Forston.
Agent
Drew Rosenhaus may be gaining on Ozzie Guillen, Jeff Ireland and Nevin Shapiro as the most hated man in South Florida sports — at least when it comes to UM fans.
Rosenhaus appeared on WQAM this morning to explain why UM’s underclassmen – with the exception of third-round pick Olivier Vernon –
were selected lower than anyone expected. Defensive tackle Marcus Forston, one of five Hurricanes who declared early for the NFL Draft,
wasn’t even chosen and ended up signing as a free agent with the New England Patriots.
Rosenhaus’ explanation? Ain’t my fault.
“I’m not going to second guess my clients and we’re not going to look back,” Rosenhaus said. “You can’t look back. You can only look forward. When a team drafts a player, you have dozens of people involved…..Ask the teams… how much of a factor an agent has to do with them getting drafted? People can say what they want.”
What people have been saying on Twitter and message boards has not been kind to Rosenhaus. The feeling among UM fans is that Rosenhaus sold UM’s underclassmen a bill of goods that cost the players big money and the Hurricanes a chance to have a good season in 2012.
Tailback Lamar Miller, who ran for 1,272 yards last season and was
projected as a first-round pick, fell to the fourth round.
Receiver Tommy Streeter, who some
analysts saw as a second rounder, was drafted in the sixth round as was guard Brandon Washington.
As noted before, Forston wasn’t even selected (I believe he’s the first UM underclassmen to leave school early and not be drafted by an NFL team since fullback Carlo Joseph in 1998.)
What Rosenhaus didn’t address is how much money those underclassmen potentially left on the table by not returning to UM and increasing their value.
Despite their public proclamations, most of UM’s underclassmen had to be disappointed with the result of the draft. Rosenhaus’ advice? Don’t worry, be happy.
“One thing I tell my clients, whether they’re a first-round pick or not drafted is, ‘Hey, keep your chin up'.
