Message: [QUOTE="SUDadx2, post: 5191404, member: 8174"] I suspect Coach Fran will welcome any player who opts to sit out a bowl because of professional aspirations to be with the team in meetings, the locker room and on the sidelines. Coach Fran understands the value a player going to the NFL has on the program and on recruiting. “We did that”. I can hear him telling recruits “this could be you in a few years if you come here”. He cares about the individual players and the team. I suspect any player who decides to sit out a bowl game to preserve their NFL aspirations will be on the sidelines the same way injured players like Ingraham (out for the season) have been on the sidelines at home games and injured players like Wax and Nixon were on the sidelines in Las Vegas.
