I like Wilkins, but I like Ed Oliver a lot more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tetsujin Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Wilkins, Bryant, and Ferrell are all returning. Them + Lawrence has to be considered maybe the best college DL of all time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they did, he did them a huge disservice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldfishwars Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Wilkins returning is bizarre. He’s already graduated and I’d be surprised if his draft stock gets higher than it is in a quiet interior class. All he’s doing is exposing himself to injury.

He's clearly enjoying college and wants to go out with his friends. Good for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they did, he did them a huge disservice. Dabo pushes kids to leave if they're first rounders. The reason they came back is the NFL gave no Clemson player a first round grade. I think that surprised them and put some doubt in their mind. They're also extremely close (them being the 3 that returned + Lawrence) and want to come out together. I think Ferrell and Wilkins made bad decisions because they both would've ended up going first round regardless of the grade received. Bryant I'm not as high on. Wilkins is a really rare person and has different values in life than most. Money is not a big concern and he is going to be incredibly successful outside of football. I would've strongly advised both to go if they were my kid. Its crazy to me that they returned and two guys that might not make a team (McCloud + Smith) left.

The Clemson group is extremely close, they wanted to go out together and that was all rumored well before they talked to the coaches. They did what they wanted. Plenty of other Clemson players without 1st round grades declared early this year and in years past. The coach gets these players in the first place for a reason.

It only takes one achilles/knee/hamstring injury for their decision to be the wrong one. If you think their coach talking to them in the last week before they made the decision to stay or go, had zero impact on their decision then that's naive. If Dabo recruited better and had talented lineman ready to play and compete for a Natty he would have advised these dudes to leave especially if they all got top 50 grades by the committee.

They love college. They love their friends. They love the experience. They're taking the risk and will all be millionaires regardless. Who cares. They have a different set of values. Why is this so hard for people to accept and understand? Some people make decisions that go against their financial interest because they want to be happy and don't fear they will have financial issues. I left a higher paying job last year because I hated it and went back to my old job so I could be happy again. Did I make a wrong decision? There is nothing wrong with that. You don't know anything about these players and who are you to judge what's a right and wrong decision? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
