Clemson DT Christian Wilkins who was slated in the latest mock draft to go 22nd overall, has decided to return to school.
Incredible how some programs get players to do that.
I'm extremely excited about Sweat returning, but how are these schools getting players that have 1st round grades to return to school?
This would be similar to Simmons next year deciding to return.
Additionally, it would be interesting to compare Wilkins to Simmons.
I just wish we could get some guys to do it in baseball. It seems like the more experienced team wins in Omaha a lot of the time.
baseball is a bigger problem we have in this area.
other schools have better "heppin".
My guess is mock did not match draft grade.
Simmons will be a top 10 pick next year. If not higherQuote:

What LSU did last year was rare. That said, we had a chance to do some of that last year from the 2016 team but the players have to be committed, and let's just say that group was, uh....notQuote:

Unless the kid’s family is rich or he just doesn’t care about money at all, it is an incredibly stupid decision to go back to school if he really is projected as a first rounder.

If that is the case, why even ask for a grade? If 1st is not good enough to leave, no reason to askQuote:

Yep. If you are a 1st rounder, you dumb if you returnQuote:

What is their theory?Quote:

Get this: Arguably, Clemson's toughest regular season game is at Texas A&M...Quote:

Agreed. The job theory is ridiculousQuote:

I did not say they would. I said they have a legit shot = playoff birth. Ohio State will win itQuote:
