I think Locker will indeed stick to his choice.

I Heard

A rumor that Derrick Locke was coming out… guess not

Why would lock or allen bradford come out?

I don’t think they would. Someone asked, they said no — good enough for me.

Why do you think all underclassmen should stay unless they are 1st rounders?

Why would lock or allen bradford come out?

Why wouldn’t they? Since when has underclassmen only came out if they were first rounders? Some players are ok with not being first round picks. Look at Mike Pouncey

Florida guard Mike Pouncey may bolt for the NFL, but only if the NFL Advisory Committee tells him he’s a guaranteed second-round pick, the Orlando Sentinel reports.

A running backs shelf life is short so they should enter as soon as possible, in Derrick Locke’s case he has a young kid (2 or 3 years old). I’m sure he would want to support his child. Also with a coaching change on the horizon who knows what the relationship between Locke and Joker Phillips is? Maybe it’s great and that is why he is staying or maybe it’s not and that is why he was leaning towards coming out.

It’s not always about production, you have to ask do they like school? Does their family need money? There is more to their decisions than not being a 1st round pick.

Bears suck, Cubs suck, Bulls suck, Illini suck, who would have thought the Blackhawks would be my best shot at a title.

Joker Phillips will be awful, so that is the only way I would see him coiming out, but he isn’t really projected to go in the first 5 rounds, and he could really raise his stock with a good year.

Bradford didn’t even get much PT, so his stock would also soar if he plays good.

I haven't seen....

…Western Illinois play and I know nothing of Abe Karoma. Would someone please drop some thoughts on the playa.

Thanks

He’s a transfer from Penn State. Highly thought of prep guy who got kicked off PSU. UDFA, if you ask me.

good size at 6’3 317 but not a NT. He is completely out of position at Western Illinois as they run a 3-3-5 which from what I read is a reason he is declaring. I’ve always been intrigued by him. As of now I have him as a 7th rounder at best, with workouts he could move up but lots of baggage.

Bears suck, Cubs suck, Bulls suck, Illini suck, who would have thought the Blackhawks would be my best shot at a title.
