More guys going pro
 

AUBURN: DT Pat Sims will not return, deciding to enter the NFL Draft. Sims was a first-team All-SEC pick this season after making 11.5 tackles for loss and 4.5 sacks.

MICHIGAN: WRs Mario Manningham and Adrian Arrington will skip their senior seasons and QB Ryan Mallett will transfer, according to coach Rich Rodriguez. "Those are the indications I've gotten," Rodriguez told the AP. "I've talked to all three at various times recently. I talked to Adrian today, and he told me he's leaning toward going pro."

RUTGERS: Ray Rice will skip his senior year to enter the NFL Draft. Rice leaves Rutgers with numerous records, including career yards rushing (4,926), career rushing touchdowns (49) and yards rushing in a season (2,012) and game (280).

FLORIDA STATE: An FSU official confirmed Tuesday that junior linebacker Geno Hayes -- the lone Seminole this season to be named first-team all-Atlantic Coast Conference -- is not enrolled in school for the spring semester. Hayes has until midnight Thursday to re-enroll, but his absence from class is a strong indication that he will forgo his final season of eligibility and enter the NFL draft. Hayes again made headlines days before the Seminoles' game at Florida when he promised that Gators' quarterback Tim Tebow would be "going down." Instead, Florida won 45-12, and Hayes stormed off the field without comment.

Bob Dole predicted Mallett would transfer to Texas months ago.

I've heard that Arkansas is a possibility.

Looking like UCLA.

LMAO

That's three different school's in the first 3 posts of this thread. SOLID!

This is not good, I prefer he stay, but whatever - he was a TOP recruit.

Let him go to Texas, he didn't look very good in the couple of starts that he had in Michigan. :toast:

I like Manningham. It would be nice to get someone who could be a playmaker on the other side of the field. Don't know if he would be picked somewhere that we could grab him though.

He could sneak into the 1st round. Probably wouldn't last past the 2nd.

The Mallett-to-Texas rumor was circulating around here even before the season started.

Apparently he didn't realize Michigan has winter.

He can't run Rich Rodriguez offense so it's probably best for all that he go.

Arrington is an Iowa boy...Cedar Rapids.

I'm not sure where he projects, but he's got size, decent speed and made some pretty spectacular catches.

Heard on the radio he was going to Tennessee? I think?

Which is what Bob Dole said when Rodriguez was announced. The kid has a cannon for an arm, but he's not at all mobile.
