Alabama survived before Ro got to the Capstone, and Bama will survive without. I love and cherish the memories of watching one of the greats of this school play live and in person, but I might have to kick his butt he decides to come back for his senior. Ro did his thing, he will always be a Crimson Tide, but his time has come to take his game up a notch and play with the big boys.

Go pro, baby. We love you, we'll always love you - but your job is done, here.
Ro, if you don't go pro, I'm gonna drive down to TTown and slap some sense into you....on second thought...Ro, you should do what's best for you and your family and I will support any decision you make...

The only reason I think might cause McClain to come back is the talent pool being made available for the 2010 Draft. I haven't done any real research on this, but it seems that the number of underclassmen going into the draft is much higher this year. Add all that talent to the graduating seniors, and you could have a situation where Ro slides into the second round.

I don't know what the chances of that are, nor am I even certain that the 2010 draft features a slew more underclassmen. I'm speculating, and I'm hoping that whoever is advising Ro takes all of this into account.

I know Ro's family and he is going pro...done deal. He wants to go while he is ready and just wanted to wait til after the BCS NC game to announce so it wouldn't be a distraction.

"Boo" (his nickname) is a big family guy and he wants to take care of his parents and sister. He was thinking about staying but after winning the butkus award and the NC...along with the rookie cap possibility...he has decided to go pro.

Announcement should be made within the next week.

I don't have a link. This is from his family not third party information.

I don't think McClain leaving will be a surprise to anyone.

I was told two weeks ago that he would be leaving for the NFL and it was a done deal.
