    Sounds to me like these guys are just trying to save face.

    It?s embarrassing to say that you?ve been told or realized that your football playing days are numbered. When you know there is a younger player or a transfer about to take your spot a lot of these guys don?t want the embarrassment of going to the bench. So instead they ?declare for the draft.? We know and they probably know in their heart of hearts they aren?t going to get drafted but that?s not as embarrassing as getting benched on the college level. That?s my theory.

    In that scenario youve laid out who's taking his place and sending him on?

    We wanted him back. Just to clear up the benching part.

    He's probably going to end up coming back when he gets his grade. He's not getting drafted.

    He was going to be a starter next year. Nobody was taking his spot.

    Man I'm all for our players getting the bag, but I'd be very surprised if this guy is draft able as of right now. Solid tackler but liability in coverage. Especially with NIL feel like it makes way more sense to come back and get your 50k and improve your draft stock.

    Duncan is integral to our defense. I am sure he is just getting out there to get a grade and to get some feedback. He needs another year, and hopefully uses us winning 10 games next season as a spring board with his 25% increase in production stats to a solid draft spot.

    When I saw him come into the game, I felt like the underneath stuff was effected. Hope to see him back next season.

    I mean at 50k, why are we providing him a scholarship? 50k would cover that and we would have another scholarship to offer, right?
    Is this where this is all going?

    If he's draftable then there's still hope for me.
    Everyone wants to be a beast...until its time to do what beasts do.
