Instead of having multiple threads for every player that declares, let's list them in this Thread. Trying to make it easier for all. Link Appreciated!! I will update the first post daily as people add players that have declared. Feel free to discuss players.

Should we have another thread for guys who opt to return to school or no? Things like Teo returing affect us as well.
Two more out of Miami: LT Brandon Washington & DE Olivier Vernon. http://miamiherald.typepad.com/umia...on-forgoing-sr-season-to-enter-nfl-draft.html I have not read much about Vernon so I am not sure he would be able to fit in a 3-4, but Washington looks good to me as a mid round prospect who can play guard and tackle.
Washington played very well at guard for the canes. I've seen him ranked asthe second guard for 2013 behind Decastro, so its will be interesting to see waht type of grade many put on him for this year. As for Vernon, not sure why hw would come out early. he played 5 games adn recorded 1.5 sackes so prorated over the year and its a down turn for him. He looks very much like a 43 end only and was not highly reguarded in the 2013 draft numbers. This screams of a rat jumping off a sinking ship to me.
David Decastro is skipping his senior year. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/12/16/stanford-guard-david-decastro-going-pro/
I'm not sure it's necessary, if a player isn't on the list they decided to stay in school. We can discuss player that stayed in this thread too. If you want to start a thread no problem.
Nope one thread is easy enough, a list of those declareing and one consolidated place for talk is easy on the brain lol.
While he's not my first option, how do you guys feelign about Nick Perry as a potential edge rusher for us. It seems the deram of Upsahw is way off the mark and same goes for Jenkins at this point.
I think Nick Perry would be an excellent full time 3-4 OLB for us. At worst, he's in the bottom 2nd round. But could easily rise to the 20s of the first round. As of today, I have little doubt that Upshaw will be gone by 20. Not really in love w/Jenkins -- IMO, he's had his hand in the dirt too often to be a full time OLB in the 3-4. I know Rex plays different fronts and will ask the 3-4 OLB to go into a stance like Pace, B. Thomas & even Maybin. I just like Nick Perry & even Shea McClellin as better prospects for us to draft. Both of those guys could even go ILB if the need arose.
barkley hasnt declared yet. while i think he will theres still that chance that hell stay and want to win a natty.
Its 3:20. Barkley will announce in 40 minutes Pete Thamel @PeteThamelNYT Barkley has told teammates he’s returning. Look for good news for USC fans at 4. https://twitter.com/#!/PeteThamelNYT/status/149944694892273664
they know the NCAA hammer is coming and that they're likely not going to a bowl game next year, either
That was my thinking as well, too bad the NCAA was much easier on Ohio St then they will be on Miami. Guess it pays to have Jim Delaney at your teat.
To be fair, the allegations against Miami are much more egregious. This is coming from a former Hurricanes season ticket holder.
Dontari Poe out of Memphis declared. Pretty big NT. I have seen him mocked to the Jets in a few places, but I like most of you just don't see it
Word is that Ronnie Hillman - RB from San Diego State has hired an agent. Probably a mid round pick maybe end of day 2.
