Underclassmen going pro

[Vlyrock]

Need a tracker for this...found this link:

Martellus is going pro from us, Charles from Texas, Aqib Talib is leaving Kansas as well. That's all the damage in the Big XII so far.

UCF RB Kevin Smith recanted and decided to go pro after announcing in a press conference that he'd stay in school...

wow

is tu tightend going?

i heard he might be????

[Pumchavas28]

It's a possibility Finley could go also... but right now it's just a rumor....

[pearland aggie93]

ok

[Pumchavas28]

Side Note: We could see an Aggie on that list next year also.... :sad:

But it's good to see Lane is staying... :gig: As it's been mentioned before, he has a lil girl & I am sure that passing up that money (regardless of what round he would have been drafted) was hard to pass up on....

[pearland aggie93]

I just hopes hegets a good degree so in case he gets injured badly he can support his daughter:gig:

Wow... didn't know about the 2nd.... just the 1st.....

[whitelightnin_23]

saw somewhere that Michael Bennett was "weighing his options"...anyone hear that?

[Pumchavas28]

I heard that Tellus said he is NOT going pro....

Also, while effective, I don't think he is good enough yet... He might wind up like Jason Jack did & not make it at all if he left early.....:sad:

[whitelightnin_23]

oh, I agree that it would be a mistake...I'll hunt for the article...

[whitelightnin_23]

Here it is:

http://www.aggiesports.com/football/A_M_tight_end_declares_for_NFL_draft


Michael Bennett, who missed the Alamo Bowl because he was academically ineligible, said he's weighing his options, which includes waiting to hear back on his draft prospects.
Michael Bennett, like his brother, has a year's eligibility left.

Jermichael Finley going Pro. He will join Charles and leave early. He will hire a agent unlike Tellus who will not hire a agent just in case.

Do you have a link for that or is that locker room talk from folks who know him????

Damn.... losing Sweed, Charles & Finley could be more than the sips are capable of overcoming...

Yeah they recruit a ton of talent (supposedly), but losing those 3 at your 3 key positions around Cart is crucial....

[whitelightnin_23]

Cart will definitely show the NCAA "tough" next year!

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

[Pumchavas28]

Just had a convo with my buddy on email about Finley leaving also... this is what he said...

1st responce = Jerry

Damnit

2nd responce = Me

This might be a bit much for Cart McCoy to overcome by himself…. Ya’ll recruit good & will beat the teams you should beat, but them “FENCE” games that can swing either way & even bigger “?” now…..

3rd responce = Jerry
I will be the first to admit…this year proved to me that we r very vulnerable…and now we losin all of our weapons…sucks to be a longhorn fan

If I knew how to post a print screen I would... but I don't so this is the best I can do.... :sad:

But the sips are nervous now....

:laugh: :laugh:

when i saw that i almost spilled my coke over my keyboard....

and my friend who is a sip is VERY pissed

so it's funny
