What position/player are you watching for the bowl season?

More on Hakeem Butler just look at this athleticism he displayed in bowl game vs wazzu. Granted this guy is only a redshirt Junior but draft scout rates him as the 38th best wide receiver Walter Football doesn't even have him listed as a prospect. So this guy falls to the third or fourth round and you don't take him that's crazy. Again this is all if he comes out but if you guys watch film on him and tell me he's the 38 best wide receiver Prospect in the draft than alright I just have some weird man crush but I think this kid standing at 6'6" 225 lbs with a 7-foot wingspan running a 4.5 40 looks better than colin Johnson to me and remind me of Randy Moss what's some of the spectacular catches he makes.

Greg Gaines for UDub is another value space eater I'm seeing.

Will Dexter Lawrence be in the program in the NFL for his failed drug test? I wouldn't assume so because the NCAA conducted it but Terrelle Pryor was punished by the NFL because of an NCAA suspension.

I honestly do not know. I want to say yes.

Dex is off my list. Anybody see how much he pissed at? 002% is A LOT. And given the look at his hair and jawline, young blood has been regularly at it the last couple years.
It's too big of a risk for this team in the first couple rounds when some depth and help makes us playoff contenders.

You might want to watch Bama's entire defense. About 5 of those guys are listed 1st rounders by most mock drafts.

And East Germany had some of the world's greatest athletes in there "program".

I love this time of year for the bowl games, teams, players, fans the whole bit plus now the "who's not playing" list is getting longer.
Greed or good business decisions? Should the NCAA allow it or is there nothing they can do? Your thoughts.
College football's hottest growing trend could reach a record number this month during bowl season for players announcing they will not play in their teams' final game in prep for their pro careers.
Before cries of selfishness hit a fever pitch, know these are all calculated decisions and most are made after conversations with their coaching staff. In short, football is a business and these potential early-round selections are protecting their investment.
In recent years, Leonard Fournette and Christian McCaffrey made waves by electing to stay in warm-up gear on the sideline during premiere games and the number of players sitting out this bowl season is expected to exceed double digits.
GO BUCKEYES, BROWNS, INDIANS, CAVS, YSU, NAVY and yes I like ND! -

No Buckeye players skipped the Rose Bowl. (Unless you count Nick Bosa....who because of injury may have not been able to play in it anyway).
If OSU had been in a lesser bowl...even the Orange or Sugar, then a couple of guys may have done that.....though maybe not in deference to Urban Meyer's last game.

Just curious if it were you (or any of you) or maybe your kid would you skip your last ever college game?

And it doesn't hurt to recruit 5* and high 4* players nationally year after year. It's not like every college team doesn't have some E. German wonders. But some start with better athletes to begin with. Everyone else is just envious of those recruiting classes.

I'd like to say no but my college playing career wasn't leading to a millions and millions of dollars earned in the NFL either. But then look at the Jaylon Smith (i think that's his name) from Notre Dame who blew out his knee in the Fiesta Bowl a couple years ago. Still gets drafted and works his ass off to get back on the field and now is playing great in the NFL. He doesn't regret trying to play in his last ever college game.
It's a tough decision and I understand why guys skip the game. I don't like that they do it but I get it. I'd like to think that I'd play.

I don't have to worry about making that decision. My son did not skip his last year of school to go to work for millions of dollars....nor did he skip the 6 interim years of grad school.

Like East Germany.....Alabama's program is the most highly developed, sophisticated program.

You can get insurance policies for playing additional years some paid by the schools. Now it might not approach #1 pick or top round picks (Mayfield about $33M) but it is something. From ESPN 2016: http://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/17328541/college-football-insurance-policies-big-complicated-business
Sources revealed Wednesday that Clemson's Deshaun Watson has taken out two insurance policies against a career-ending injury: a $5 million total disability policy and a $5 million loss of value policy.
The reality is, players rarely end up receiving a payout, even after they've sustained an injury. And when they do get paid, it's still unclear whether the IRS has dibs on a cut of the money.
Here's a primer on how these policies work:
What is a total disability policy?
It protects a player should he become unable to play football again because of an injury. This covers an injury on or off the field, usually from the time a player signs the policy until the following football season. The only reason something wouldn't be covered is if there's a pre-existing injury; the insurer might specify in the policy that the player would not be covered if the same injury occurs again.......
What do these policies cost?
A rule of thumb is about $10,000 for every $1 million in coverage. Previously, the NCAA helped secure a loan for the premium, which would be paid by the player's family, but a couple of years ago, that changed when it was discovered that schools were allowed to take out the policies themselves.
Sources said that Clemson took out a policy for Watson through International Specialty Insurance, which has established itself as the leader in the space, especially when it comes to offering loss of value. ..CONTINUED IN LINK......
