I have decided to forego my final football season at Syracuse University and enter the 2012 NFL draft.

Kid is taking his degree and pursuing a dream. God bless him.
However, given where he projects to get drafted, you have to think the cluster **** that is the program didn't do us any favors for keeping this guy. I bet if CJ plays for WVU, he comes back for a 5th year.

Will always be one of my favorite SU players. Have to be a fan of any player who played HS football in the STAC and the 607.

Or maybe this is as high as he goes barring a ridiculous season next year and it's not worth it for him to risk it... this program is not a clusterfk.

While not a cluster the OP is right, there is more to Chandler leaving then simply the high draft grade. The same reasons Carter came within a hair of leaving when he was a junior.
Yes everything about SU sucks, the coaching that got him to the NFL sucks! Poor bastard Chandler it just didn't workout for him here. Just to bad for the kid really.

To be honest, if it was just Chandler leaving I wouldn't think anything of it, but when you add in Shamarko and Dorian trying to get out even though they probably won't get drafted, it makes me a little nervous about the program.
He left because he will be a 3rd round draft choice. Thats it period, wouldn't you?

Bring back the STAC. Section 4 Football Conference is a stupid name. And fwiw, Norwich rules.

Again Marrone's system and the way he runs the program is not for everyone and during a losing season can wear players down. People can blow it off all they want but its a concern when its causign players ie Graham and Shamarko to leave and influencing Chandler. People dont realize how bad things had gotten by the end of the season.

He's not going in the third round
Ya my only concern about Doug is that he pushes to hard. I sense that he needs know when to back off.

So we are losing on D:
-our two starting DEs
-our two starting Ss
-at least one if not both of our starting CBs.
-we also lose Fisher from our Okie package.
Our DEs coming back showed nothing this year. And we could have 4 new starters in the secondary. Who are our leaders? Could be a long year on D next year.
On O we lose:
-the right side of our OL
-our starting WR and our #3 WR
-our starting TE
-our starting RB
Our skill positions coming back showed nothing this year. And we will have two young inexperienced guys stepping in on the right side of the OL. Who are our leaders? Could be a long year on O next year.
Add to that a challenging OOC schedule and next year is a total rebuild year. We might as well play two 1AAs again since we have no chance at 6 Ws.

Doubtful. I bet this decisions is b/c money + degree + who wants to roll the dice next year = leave.
CJ seems to be Mr. College. I stand by my thought that if there was hope that '12 could be a special year, he'd be back.
