Short answer: no.
Hey, maybe he likes it in college and wants to stay. The lure of big $ isn't always the main thing for some folks and he may think he'll still get big $ after one more year at UGA. Personally, I think he's going to opt for the draft, but until that certain lady sings....we can hope.
As much as we would like home to come back I highly doubt he will.He is no doubt a top 15 pick.
I want him to come back. I want him to be the heart and soul of the defense. I know he could go 1st round but I think its silly people HOPE he is leaving. I care about UGA football not the NFL. I think Smith could lean us right back to the national title game.
Smith will still make millions in the future whether he comes back next year or not. Hell the university can get insurance that would pay him out millions if he gets injured and hurts his draft stock.
Deadline to declare is Monday. The news isn't necessarily announced at that point, but I would guess it will be.
Roquan definitely is the type of personality who would stick around if it were a 50-50 proposition, or even 70-30. If he were only a second-round pick I'd be stayed. But he's being projected as a first-round pick.
It's his choice, of course the Dawg in me wants to see him return, why?, because he is the most explosive defensive player I've had the chance to watch. I absolutely enjoyed watching him look like a heat seeking missile coming out of a F-35 Stealth jet destroying anything in his path. But if he chooses to go to the NFL, he has earned it and hope he makes millions for years!!!!
With the way the season ended, I highly doubt there will be a shortage of leaders in our locker room. That fire will burn BRIGHT
You'd be surprised at how many so-called experts are saying the Falcons will beat Philly. They're saying that they way ATL shut down Gurley the other night will be the key. That and just running the ball. They ran the ball 39 times against the Rams. Maybe they learned their lesson about running the ball from the Super Bowl.
I know it’s off topic but with Wentz out, Birds have a good chance to win it.
There is nothing we can do about it. It is Roquan's decision. He should do what is best for him. I believe he's earned a first round selection in the NFL draft. I'm happy for him.
The team will have no choice but to go on without senior leadership, though I believe Godwin, Fromm, and a few others on the D can fill the leadership roles. After two more recruiting classes, we won't be worried about this issue anymore.
Seems like Roquan enjoys his study breaks in college. I am 99.9% sure this is the rooftop pool at The Mark where my daughter lives.
My heart wants him to come back. However my head says it is not a good financial decision. in 2017 the number 17 pic Washington Redskins, DT Jonathan Allen (Alabama): $11,646,348/$6,610,071. If he does not get a injury that ends his football carer he will always be a year behind unless he moves up 10 positions in the draft. When you are talking about a first round pic that becomes very hard to do.
Would you put your families future on hold for a year when you could have $3,000,000 after taxes right now. By right now that is his cut of the ~$5,000,000 up front money not the $6,.610,071 he gets for the first year. That is a lot to ask of a young man just starting out in life.
There's a 0% chance Roquan returns. He owes us nothing, dude left his heart and soul on the field every game. He's an all time great and deserves to go make his money. I can't wait to see him light up players in the NFL.
He's been money for us and now its time for him to make money.
We will know soon enough. Wouldn’t suprise me if he stays.
