Let’s run it back

[GoSU96]

OG and LQA have interesting decisions to make. I’m not sure either have done enough this year to be sure locks to go. I think Pena and Meeks come back with the right incentives (bag and Qb).

Fran is definitely going to cull the herd with kids who aren’t getting it and buying in.

Keep sold and deep cuts.

 

[Trueblue25]

OG’s gone, I can assure you. Don’t even trouble yourself with that thought.

Allen there’s potential to run it back but if an RB gets an opportunity he’s got to go

Don't know what to make of OG. With defenses keying to him and the emergence of great alternatives I find it hard to judge.

Agreed. He gone

 

[Trueblue25]

OG’s just as much a sure fire pick as he’s ever been. He’s been doubled and keyed in on all year and still seemingly effortlessly is on pace for 950 to 1000 yards even having missed time

 

[Scooch]

Selfishly I'd love for them both to return.

I have to imagine that OG's gone though. He's put everything he needs on tape this season with a stellar college QB. There's nothing more for him to do on that front.

Allen should stay because he's not an NFL back. He's a very good college player, but we all know the issues that would keep him from being a draft pick.

 

[elimunelson]

Trebor Pena is an NFL player. I'd recommend he go now. Not sure what his combine times will be but he's gonna be looked at as a Puka Nakua type talent.

i hope for his sake he's gone.

Is McCord for sure out of eligibility. He's a guy you throw money at if he can come back

 

[RyanCuse44]

Agreed. He gone

If Tremble is as good as OG then we'll be fine.

Yeah I think he played in 5 games his freshmen year and think most were in mop-up duty, which is a shame for us.

 

[Nick44]

What about Wax? He’s fantastic but I think he makes more money by staying in college than by going pro? IMO, he’s not at the level of a Franklin but more so a Mikel Jones who I think primarily plays on an NFL practice roster. He to me is the biggest question.

I think Gadsden with that catch at BC and what he did yesterday really helped. He’s probably a 3rd. LQA could play if he can figure out how to not go down on ankle tackles and some speed work. He does some things that an NFL OC would love to have. He has a shot as a 3rd back/core teams guy.

Why leave to be a 3rd day pick or udfa? He can make as much here and maybe elevate to a second next year.

 

[phil77]

I think a lot of the offensive players coming back will hinge on who the QB is next year

He plays a style that he's on a concussion pitch clock IMO. If he can be drafted, he should go. Anyone suggesting otherwise is selfishly a fan. Which guilty i am as well but for his best interest, i'd get to the NFL and show his skills there. He's great in short spaces and will play next level for sure

I think Gadsen is a 2nd/3rd rounder. He reminds me of Aaron Hernandez (if we can do comparisons of serial killers and nice guys). Hernandez was 10x better and a 1st round talent with a 100th round brain.

 

[richmondcuse03]

The one I want is Kyle getting an extra year.

 

[GoSU96]

One thing I confident about Fran is going to make sure his players get solid unbiased advice and he will be like JB and tell them to leave if it makes sense. Long term it’s good for the program if he is getting guys to the next level sooner and he isn’t selfish about it.

Sadly McCord is out of eligibility.

There are rumors that he has applied for an exemption from the NCAA but not sure if he actually did and if he did, if it would even be approved.

If I was the NCAA I would approve because what Ryan Day did to burn it for him at OSU was absolutely BS but you never know with the NCAA

1000000000%

Yup, Gadsen has a bunch of catches on seam routes where he gets separation. NFL TEs feast on those routes. He's there.

I'm bearish on Allen. Not that I don't think he's a very good college back. I just think his lack of yards after contact, lack of shiftiness and lack of breakaway speed is too much to overcome his positive traits. There's a lot of college backs that have those raw materials and will be attractive to NFL GMs.

I think he’s a 4th rd pick already. Keep saying he’s a perfect back up at Detroit.

 

[elimunelson]

Sluka was on campus at Holy Cross this past week according to some very good eye witnesses i know. I wonder if Fran tries and gets him to Syracuse still. There was interest before...

I hope not.

He is not a good qb

I love Allen's ability to catch the ball in the flat though. I think he'll catch on with a team. he'll be a combine TBA.

Barron, Wax, Gadsen, McCord, Pena should all be in the draft discussion.

LQA is a glue guy, great energy, do whatever you ask warrior. To me his single biggest issue is the ankle tackle thing. It’s crazy.
