The CheckerBoard

I definitely feel like if Bray had a defense in the Georgia, Miss State, South Carolina and Mizzou games he'd be much less scrutinized ... we act like he isn't an incredible talent. We won't see an offense as good as this for years if ANY of them declare. I'm confident in the guys that would be thrown in there next year because they'd have a good o-line helping them but if the big 3 leave lets quit kidding ourselves ... we will definitely not be nearly as explosive

Objectively I think all 3 should stay for their own benefit. CP needs to work on his route running and technique. Bray clearly has some things to work on. If Bray comes back for his senior year and gets a few big wins and shows more poise he could increase his stock to a top 15 pick. While Hunter is having a really fine year, he really needs to work on consistency. Too many times against good teams Hunter is quiet for long periods of time and has had some key drops and gator armed a few he could've snagged. Not to mention their legacy consists of the worst record anyone has ever seen at UT. Come back and restore the program's national relevance and the legacy looks a hell of a lot better.

It's a good thing Tiny can't declare yet.

It really does not make a huge difference. If they don't go this year, they will have to go next year. Other players take their roles. It will work out.

Speaking of the possibility of Bray going pro (I personally don't think he will. I believe he comes back to increase his stock and push for #1 qb in the draft ALA Landry Jones), what is the latest on Darryl Richardson out of Armwood HS? Big, strong QB.
