The only ones that moved the needle for NFL draft stock were the 2 starters at UF. And to be honest......they would be highly touted if both had stayed here.
Lacy......still happy he left
Bailey was good at TCU but would have been THE featured back here the last 2 years.....he would have absolutely shined vs belt defenses. My hot sports opinion? Leaving UL probably hurt his chances of getting drafted.
The rest prior to this year were good players.....but generally have been role players, contributors but nothing special.
Only 2 that left this year signed with others.....both with UH. Gant has 1 yr eligibility left. We signed a stud LB from SEC to replace him with 3 yrs eligibility remaining.......we may come out way ahead on this one. Our QB loss? If there is one position we are blessed with talent both experienced and recent additions it's QB.
