How could he not go? He has nothing left to prove......

by staying in school - his draft status won't be any higher after next season than it will be this time. He only risks getting hurt or having a poor year for some reason which will only be a negative for him.

He's got to look at this from a career/business........

point of view as he has millions of dollars staring him in the face. It was easy for me when I was a Junior to know I was coming back to graduate and for my love of Clemson - all the thing you mentioned.
But I didn't have millions of dollars staring me in the face at the end of my Junior year - I didn't have to make such a major decision as he has to make.

Your point???

Spiller was not as close to being a top pick as Sammy is at the same point. My only point is that many project Sammy to be the first WR pick and in the first round. How do you improve on that???? What do you gain NFL-wise by staying?

No NFL gain but.....
Dec 12, 2013, 11:25 AM

It's not about NFL gain. He can't gain a thing there. It's about what he's giving up. If he has a strong passion for influencing the younger guys, graduating, Clemson tradition, etc, then why not consider staying. In that case he'd be giving up the best year of his life. But if those things aren't as important to him, his family really needs money, family doesn't care if he graduates or not, etc, then he'll definitely go pro. It's not about what he'll lose NFL wise it's about losing his senior year and last year as a kid in college.

you didn't/don't have millions of dollars staring you in the face. We can't know what's most important to him. It's easy for use to say what he should do.

The door doesn't close on education. But the risks grow

that his value in the next draft will be lessened and NOT increased if he waits. All the team spirit stuff sounds good, but I expect players like him feel like they have made a significant contribution to the team and who they leave behind after 3 full years.
Another clue to me is how he expresses his commitment and personal approach to the game - he calls himself a student and fan of the game from day one and he has a realistic view of his capability and talent. Sounds more like someone ready for the next level than someone who thinks one more year at the NCAA level benefits them talent-wise.

and everybody agreed that his upside was not all that great. Turned out that he stayed and had a great senior year.

it did improve his draft status/income. Everything I'm reading from the NFL scouts says SW won't benefit from another year in school. He just risks injury, etc.

Is it a crime

For the kid to love himself more than he loves Clemson? Idk about y'all but I put my interests and that of my families before anything else. Sammy doesn't owe Clemson anything else at all. He's given y'all 3 good years and if he goes now he's just that much closer to the amount of time he needs to be in the nfl to be set for life.

To want him to stay. He has nothing to prove at all.

Then go earn your scratch. No win vs OSU, and you have to come back next year.
