Question: Which Juniors will leave early for the NFL? Just Henry and A'Shawn So Far

Re: Which Juniors will leave early for the NFL? Press Conference at 2 Friday 1/15

If we get all of the Allen, Williams, and Howard group back...look out.


Still bet one of these guys - Allen particularly - may have had a schedule conflict or something. I just can't see him coming back but I'm not complaining.

Wow. Guess this means Foster, Allen and Howard are all coming back?

Doesn't mean anything... Oj Howard and Allen could be still making up their mind... I suspect they got til 18th to make up their mind. I think Saban would support them.

We'll know soon enough. The athetlic department normally puts out a statement with these things. Didn't watch the feed, but it also would be logical for CNS to say others were still making up their minds if that indeed is the case.

Saban will support all his guys but I think Allen would definitely have Saban's encouragement. Williams and Howard have plenty to work on with their resume. Williams needs to prove he can play the run and be an every down linebacker. It is hard to be a first or second day pick as a one dimensional player. It can happen with pass rushers though. Howard needs a bigger sample size of games like the semis and final this year. He'd basically be going out on the hope his combine blows people away. A bad combine and the lack of stats could sink him.

Nevermind. Mis-read your comment.

Jonathon Allen returning would be a late Christmas present. He`d be the lynch pin of the D line, if not the entire D, next season. I`ll still be most pleasantly surprised if he doesn`t go.

He left it open before the title game...I think he's gonna return but pass rush is a premium in the NFL...even if the player is developmental as an every down player. Von Miller has never been a great every down DE/OLB but he's a linchpin for Denver's D.

He's said since the title game he was returning.

[h=1]2 Alabama juniors still deciding whether to turn pro[/h]
Two other Tide juniors — tight end O.J. Howard and defensive lineman Jonathan Allen — are still in the process of deciding whether to turn pro, according to sources.


CBS Sports ranks Howard as the third-best NFL prospect among draft-eligible tight ends and projects he would be a second round pick in this year's draft. But sources tell AL.com that Howard is leaning toward returning to Alabama for his senior season.


Allen, who finished the year with 14.5 tackles for a loss and 12 sacks, received a second round grade from the NFL Draft Advisory Committee, according to sources.

I will say this, if they are both rated as going on the second round there's some logic to returning. Also, I think there's some more leave way now for the university to purchase insurance for those players, mitigating some of the risk. So yes, it could be a risk to return, but it's also a free education and a shot at the first round the following year. I understand the hesitation on their part.

If Allen comes back he could be the leader of the entire team.. that may be something he values as well
 
Re: Which Juniors will leave early for the NFL? Press Conference at 2 Friday 1/15

If these two are the only ones leaving then today is better than National Signing Day.
 
Re: Which Juniors will leave early for the NFL? Press Conference at 2 Friday 1/15

so, as of right now, we only have D. Henry and A. Robinson leaving early?
