    Clemson

    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.

    Simmons will be a top 10 pick next year. If not higher

    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....not

    Those really good parent jobs end when a player leaves college.

    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 ask

    First rounders are getting 12 mil guaranteed.

    No school is paying a player or his family anywhere near that.

    There is a thread on one of the Game cock message board talking about why Clemson seems to get guys to come back. If I was 22 I would go. There is no tomorrow. Hell I might die, I might break my leg, you never know. You need to make hay while the sun is sinning.

    Clemson has a very legit shot at a natty next season. Lsu has not for a while

    True but LSU has consistently lost players when they were natty contenders

    I really don’t think this is the reason. These Clemson players already have a natty

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

    I'd love to see A&M beat Clemson and LSU somehow upset Miami early on... I wouldn't watch another game until after Christmas...
