I honestly don't know why Robo is even considering leaving unless he is that concerned about a season-ending injury. He could definitely position himself to go in the 1st round next year.

Actually last nights local news said that Terry Robiski, Robo's dad, said that he is coming back for his senior year. Sounds pretty credible to me but I guess anything can change.

Wow. I commend you on the credit that you give NFL coaches and scouts.*

*Now, that was sarcastic.

Seriously, if you're going to follow this line of thinking; then none of the Buckeyes should have been drafted last year after the egg that was laid. Have you ever given thought to the other criteria that teams look for in a QB?

Personally, I don't care in the slightest if you don't agree with my OPINION, but there's no reason to be a cock about it.

I'm not trying to be a cock, but I remember Troy being projected as a first day pick before the game, and an afterthought after the game. I think a lot of it might have had to do with the fact that Bathtub Ginn got hurt and Troy looked almost lost without him. But the bowl game still played a huge factor.

I consider the source. Media pundits do not have the same resources nor the same intentions as NFL scouts and teams.

Then let's go down the entire gamut of NFL draftees from last year. Feel free to let me know how their performance in the BCS NC game affected their draft status.

Ginn
Gonzo
Pittman
Datish
Pitcock
Jay Richardson
Roy Hall

There is something that I have never seen in print and don't completely understand.

When a junior wants to be "evaluated" for the draft and let's say that the word comes back that he would be a top 10 pick. How do they really know that? A team might say that they would take him with their pick but this is only January and a lot of things can happen before the end of April such as trades, guys retiring, etc.. Also, the junior might not work out well at the combine and then his stock would fall possibly even into the second round. I guess I am just curious as to how a team in late December can definitely say they are going to take a certain player before he is even worked out or their team isn't completely finalized.

I would think that if someone did not guarantee me something I would not take the chance of leaving college early. I just think your stock as a player becomes more defined when you are a senior.

Buckeyes' Robiskie, Jenkins coming back; Gholston entering NFL draft

ESPN.com news services




Updated: January 11, 2008, 5:23 PM ET

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- If Ohio State is to make a run for a third-straight appearance in the BCS championship game next season, some familiar stars will be there to help the cause.


Who's decided to leave college before their senior season to enter the NFL draft? Here's the list.


Brian Robiskie, the Buckeyes' top receiver, and star cornerback Malcom Jenkins will both return for their senior seasons. Jenkins' decision to return was reported by ESPN's Joe Schad.
However, the Buckeyes will lose defensive end Vernon Gholston, who told Schad he will enter the NFL draft. Additionally, Jenkins said linebacker James Laurinaitis and linebacker Marcus Freeman are torn about returning to Ohio State or entering the NFL draft, Schad reported.

Muffler can surely fight his own battles, but I have to say any GM that would look at one game, whether it's team result or individual performance, and conclude anything would not hang on to their job very long.

Troy "fell" to the 3rd because he's not the prototypical NFL QB size and didn't exactly come to the combines in tip top shape. All this said, I do believe they put too much emphasis on crap like 40 times, but to say that a single bowl game determines draft status is naive at best. And, if it's true, I need to be a GM somewhere, cause I'm all but certain I can do better than that by considering a prospects entire career, etc..
