I am always happy when guys return who possibly could have left early. but in all honesty, outside of Perine, would any of these guys been highly regarded in the draft?
Cleveland? Nothing to be said.
Rezese? Way too slow in space
Zuniga? a good player but disappears a lot. People think he is an elite pass rusher. I think elite is not the correct word. He does not stand out physically (strength, long arms, etc.) and if you are physically like the majority, you better be like an Elvis Dumervil type.
Shuler? Nothing to be said
Whether I think the guys leaving will make it or not is irrelevant. I think tho that the only real head scratcher is Vosean. I am sorry I just don;t see it regardless of what the draft gurus say.

Reese is just way too slow. He will never be an NFL linebacker. Joseph is actually pretty fast so his inability to cover is perplexing.3. Reese is unranked as a prospect (note Joseph is their 9th LB)

Many times Joseph is just looking the wrong way and doesn't notice his back or TE is running a route. I don't know how you fix that if the kid doesn't know the playbook or can't focus on his assignment if he does in fact know the play.
Well this site:
2019 NFL Draft Prospect Database - Page 3 of 12 - The Draft Network
says:
1. Perine is the 33rd RB on the board (Scarlette is 18th)
2. Cleveland is the 66th WR on the board. (I did see where WalterFootball.com said they had him in the opening round but gave his decision to return a B+ after not doing that much this year.)
3. Reese is unranked as a prospect (note Joseph is their 9th LB)
4. Zuniga is their 17th edge rusher. I think he is one that you might be a bit off on. Walterfootball has him as their 21st Rush DE/OLB going in the 3rd to 6th round. With a good combine he is the type of guy who could move up.
5. Shuler is not on the many draft site boards as far as I can tell.
So I think your sense is right except possibly for Zuniga.
Thats good stuff Insti, thanx for the info. It does at least tell me that my old eyeballs are not that far off just yet. But a D-lineman projected 3rd-6th round does not scream leave school early for that to me.
So wipe that smile off your faceThis is really starting to look pretty special. I am borderline pumper to begin with, skeptical, but try to see the positives ... but .... the right players are staying their senior season. College recruiting isn't just about getting the best high school kids to come, its also getting the ones you've already developed to stay. Those staying for their senior season will not affect our recruiting rankings a bit but it sure is going to help our team. Mullen is doing a great job thus far.
Now ... Savage time!
