Rolando McClain will be going PRO

Re: McClain holding presser at 1:30pm

I support his decision either way. Either choice is perfectly understandable.

My sentiments exactly. My only concern is the sheer number of underclassmen declaring early this year. I'm getting at least one ESPN text every day, reporting a junior declaring early. I would hate to see him go early, enter a watered-down talent pool, and slip to the second round.

No matter what he does, I support him and wish him well.

No, there is nothing more he could do on this level. He is one of the greats, and he's earned this opportunity.

God Bless, and Roll Tide Rolando!

Re: McClain holding presser at 1:30pm

how close is he to his degree? Maybe he has motivations that are not related to football.

Re: McClain holding presser at 1:30pm

why call a presser at all? seems unneccessary.

Re: McClain holding presser at 1:30pm

I agree, he should go. There's no way to recreate the magic of this season for him next year. Time for him to move on and profit from his hard work and dedication. And time for Bama to reload.

I will be shocked if he stays for his senior year.

If he were my son, I would tell him to enter the NFL draft and financially secure his future while he has the chance.

I was wandering the same thing about his degree.

If would be estatic if he stayed and I would be quite shocked if he didn't enter the draft. I heard a commentator say that he heard a GM say McClain is a bigger version of Ray Lewis.

The only way he drops is if another underclassmen better than him declares. Do you think there is a better linebacker in college right now??? I didn't think so :tongue:

He should have said a "better person" too.........Lewis is a thug!!

No such animal exists.

Doesn't have to be a better linebacker, just at a more pressing "need" position.

His facebook status says "maybe I've done enough in college"

Yep. He's done. Thank you for your time here... now let's see how good his replacement will be.

It would make me so happy if the falcons could get him

He also said smarter too. I don't know if he meant on the field or off the field.

Yeah.. I'd like to know also, maybe a live blog or something?

Re: McClain holding presser at 1:30pm

Would not surprise me at all to see a team trade up to have the chance to pick him up. Someone that is a contender for the playoffs could be a team to do it if they just need to shore up the D they currently have.

Whatever he decides I will look forward to watching him play, rather it is in the Alabama Crimson or some other teams colors.

Falcons would be a good one. I don't know where he is projected to be drafted or what the draft order is, but I hope it isn't the lions or rams. I can't stand to watch those two teams play, but that's just me. I'm sure he doesn't care who chooses him.
