On top of that (and I got this off a radio show so I don't have any links) there's word that Robert Griffin wants to start Law School and may return to Baylor and Landry Jones may be leaning towards returning to Oklahoma. Landry Jones' stock took a pretty big hit in my opinion towards the end of the season when he looked really average without Broyles.

In other words, in what could possibly be a very strong QB class could end up just being Andrew Luck and a then a bunch of 2nd-5th round talent. This could suck for the teams picking high that need and/or want a QB.

I think RGIII will probably end up coming out and, if Barkley and Jones both return to school, he'll be a top 5-10 pick. Going into the draft I would've ranked the "Big Four" 1.) Luck, 2.) Barkley, 3.) RGIII, 4.) Jones.

Jones' stock will sky rocket after the combine...no way he stays unless maybe Broyles does

Not too thrilled with Barkley anyway. RGIII the best QB prospect in my book. If he ends up on the Deadskins I'll hate him for eternity

yea I think RGIII is great too. but having 3 good prospects would give the skins much more flexibility.

I keep reading conflicting reports as to what Barkley is going to do, but with as high as his stock currently is I seriously do not believe he will stay. I've been proven wrong before though.

He would be a fool to stay another year.

ROCSteady · 12-22-2011, 03:28 PM

Just when I thought we saw the light at the end of the tunnel

Such bad news if Griff AND Barkley avoid the NFL another year. I really thought it was a lock that WSH would end up with one of those guys.

UtahJazzFan88 · 12-22-2011, 03:31 PM

Landry Jones should be staying if Broyles is. Not understanding why RGIII is staying maybe.

KG215 · 12-22-2011, 03:39 PM

I think the RGIII stuff was just speculation. As for Ryan Broyles and Landry Jones, Broyles is a senior so his college career is finished.

KG215 · 12-22-2011, 04:07 PM

And now Barkley has made it official that he's coming back to USC next year.

irondarts · 12-22-2011, 04:09 PM

Good for him.

After staying loyal to USC throughout their bowl ban, it's good to see he's coming back to have a chance to play for a NC.

Sarcastic · 12-22-2011, 04:39 PM

He's a fool.

IlliniFan · 12-22-2011, 04:42 PM

Maybe he really wants to go #1 overall and he KNOWS he has no chance this year with Luck in the same draft.

That shouldn't be a reason anymore due to the rookie wage scale. The best bet now for young guys is to enter early, play off the rookie contract, and get to the first big contract as young as you can.
