According the Dispatch this morning Mr. Play School feels he's not ready for the NFL, and won't enter the draft. Urban punted and said he'd try to sort out the QB mess after he had given himself sufficient time to enjoy the win last night.
Did I just hear that the deadline to declare is tomorrow? Playing the Championship game this late in the winter works against Jones in this case. That's a lot to evaluate in 2 days. I'll still be surprised if he sticks around. Many before him who have less talent traded a scholie for a less than sure shot. When Meyer talks I hear subtle urges for somebody, anybody to leave A&M.
I think that's right. He could declare for the supplemental draft after tomorrow. I think another thing he could do is declare but not hire an agent, and then withdraw if he decides against it.
I think I'd declare if I was him. I don't see how his stock is ever higher than it is right now. He'd have to beat out Barret (who I have to believe is still the presumptive starter), who is a year younger than him, and have a full season of games like the last three. That seems much less likely to me than selling an NFL team on, "This guy is so good, he can come off the bench and dominate 3 top college defenses, including a Nick Saban defense. Just imagine what he can do when you're able to work with him for 6 months!"
