Is this true - Bo draft eligible?
- Thread starter melvinm
- Start date
The facial expressions of the different people are priceless....Like, literally...
I remember a couple of scouts saying that the rub on Coker last year was that there just wasn't a complete body of work to draw from to lift his draft status. To a lesser extent, the same probably hold true for a running back.
I want to point out few things: Bo has 823 yards with 127 carries... and Kenyan 233 for 1,495.. It is likely If he comes back that he will have just about same carries but more yards than Kenyan did.
Also, Kenyan was all round players who can do this and that. Bo is more of a running back who hasn't had opportunities to catch ball and isnt likely to do that. I don't think it's right to compare body of work, considering Drake missed couple games over the years.
K. Drake flew with the ball, while Mr. J. Allen flies toward the ball.Like, literally...
Why would you say that? So far in Bo's career he's averaging exactly what KD did in his time at Bama (4.6 ypc).
Exactly - I included that because it further differentiates KD from BS in the eyes of an NFL scout - great rushing average and also very productive receiving as we all a returning kicks = more valuable.
I agree completely that comparing the two isn't fair to Bo, which is why the point that KD was never a starter is moot - he was a more productive all-around athlete, which is why he was a third-round draft pick despite never being a college starter.
Re: Is this true?
Grayshirting is usually used to get recruits in and count against the next recruiting year. I think they could start school part-time and pay their own way the first semester. The eligibility clock starts when a student-athlete is a full-time student, eg 5 years for 4 years of eligibility.
Re: Is this true?
I do hope Bo stays. I love him and what he has done. I just read that Najee has a flight booked with Tua (Tua is quoted but Najee did not say one way or the other and still says he will just show up) to Tuscaloosa for next week. That would be great to have Bo, Damien, Josh, and Najee for next year. I am not sure if BJ will transfer if that's the case, especially with his injury maybe putting him behind with training.

Re: Is this true?
Doesn't Najee have a good chance of coming in and taking the job? Maybe that could help because if he gets seated by a freshman, I'm sure his stock will go right back down.

Re: Is this true?
I guess everybody has forgotten that our leading rusher in total yards is Damien Harris and our leading rusher in yards per carry is..well.. Damien Harris. I know Bo and Najee are the "eye test" picks, but, to date, Damien has out performed them both.(Sorry...I didn't see Damien included initially, and couldn't delete the post)

Damien is also the 2nd leading rusher in the SEC but he isn't draft eligible. That's what's been discussed IRT Bo..
Yes, I love Damien too and realize he is our starter. He and Bo together are awesome. I actually got my picture made with Damien when the team was at Andretti race carts before the Peach Bowl and he was very nice when I asked him.
So does Jacobs. Both of them have such exceptional lateral quickness and the ability to head North. I hope we see more of JJ in the CG.

UDUB was smallish on the edges but very quick. Bo had a huge advantage in that game. I suspect we use more of DH & JJ against Clemson to take advantage of their quickness against the slower Clemson defense.
