2009 Offseason College Football Thread

[Leftwich]

The 2008/2009 season is over but that doesn't mean we can't look forward to next year.

[Leftwich]

I'm looking at the recruiting West Virginia has done and Bill Stewart and others have done a damn good job according to Rivals:

Tevita Finau DE
Michael Carter DB
Eugene Smith QB
Tavon Austin RB
Logan Heastie WR
Deon Long WR

and we look like the dark horses for Tahj Boyd but I won't bank on us getting Boyd.

Glenn Coffee just decided to enter the draft. Little bit of a surprise. Also just heard that LeSean McCoy will be leaving too.

McCoy better have a damn good combine to be drafted at least in the second round. He is so dumb for leaving Pitt.

Purdue getting a fresh start after the Tiller era is over.

How about we start talking about possible Heisman candidates for next year? I got WR Michael Crabtree from Texas Tech winning it.

NFL Players aren't eligible. He is going to declare himself for the draft. But I think Colt McCoy has the best shot right now unless Tim Tebow comes back for next year. The field may be slim this year because a lot of players are jumping for the NFL Draft. 2009 could also be the first year a Freshman wins the heisman but I doubt it.

Texas Tech wide receiver Michael Crabtree is expected to announce at a 3 p.m. ET news conference on Tuesday that he will enter the NFL draft, two people close to Crabtree said Friday.

Crabtree had an ankle specialist determine that his high ankle sprain was properly diagnosed and treated. Crabtree is expected to attend the NFL scouting combine but is not expected to run a 40-yard dash.

More likely, Crabtree will run at his own pro day. Crabtree has visited with Texas Tech coach Mike Leach twice already and will visit with him once more before the planned news conference.

Leach has mentioned the possibility of the receiver returning to win a Heisman, but Crabtree, 6-foot-3, 214 pounds, has been told by multiple sources, including the NFL draft advisory committee, that he would be a first-round pick.

Yeah Tebow is the favorite if he comes back. But if Pryor can do big things next season I see him moving in the race with Tebow and McCoy.

Too bad Pryor's release reminds me of Vince Young's. But Vince Young's release won him a national championship in college.

Ehhhh... release isn't the word I'm looking for... when the ball is in the air there seems like there is no velocity on the ball.

[Leftwich]

He'll get better. A player with his talent will dominate the college game. Then proceed to suck in the NFL. Ex: Vince Young.

He didn't show me much this year but then again i gave into the hype too much. I'm interested to see how they run their offense without beanie wells.

Holy shit, Taylor Mays is coming back to school next season.

I saw that, its gonna change a lot of teams draft boards.

I think Bradford is an idiot for staying @ Oklahoma. Turned down a top 3 pick and 40+ million dollars. I see him doing the same thing as Leinart. His draft stock will probably fall next year and he won't make nearly as much $$$.

[Primetime]

The only thing he would have had to do was go into a press conference and say "I don't want to play for the Lions" and they wont pick him. That easy.

[Primetime]

I'd rather have that reputation than play for the Lions.

[Point Blank]

I'd would of stayed too.

Wow Brandon Spikes will go back for his senior season. Florida is looking like they will dominate again next year. Not losing that many people.
