I don't see how him not being dumb Makes any sense in his decision. If osu goes undefeated, he gets the heisman or is in the top 3 and we win a NC. What does he have left to prove in college? Since he's not dumb like you stated, why would he turn down multi million dollars and the opportunity to play with even better skilled players?

Those are very, very, very big "if"s. I might be in the minority, but I think there is a high statistical probability that we don't achieve even one from that list. My personal opinion is that there is virtually no chance Braxton leaves early.

You're never guaranteed a 1 or 2 round pick! Coming back your senior year can definitely hurt your draft stock if your numbers aren't comparable to what they were in your previous year. That's why you strike while the irons hot. Barkley and leinert are perfect examples of this to say the least.

Sorry but we're getting way off topic from recruiting. We can continue this convo at another venue if you like

Braxton seems to need a lot of improvement to be ready for the NFL. that's why I doubt he will leave. It seems to me he will need both remaining years to be ready, and NFL teams presumably see the same thing.

Regardless of his decision, we should still target a top QB in each class.

Especially since they will have plenty of good options this year with Boyd, Bridgewater, McCarron and probably Manziel.

NFL scouts viewed Barkley much differently than media (and fan) scouts.
All of that could happen without him improving his passing skills. Also none of that guarantees a 1st or 2nd round pick.

Exactly, though I would add 'enough' to the first sentence.

Braxton already finished in the top-5 for the heisman with barely any passing.

He definitely needs improvement before he can think about the next level! Just check out how he did in the the two overtime games and the 1 point win over MSU! He certainly didn't win those games and nearly cost them.

Scouts definitely see that and they want his arm to improve drastically before thinking about taking a risk on him.

Making the case for Braxton Miler

Braxton Miller may not reach his full potential in '13, but he still could be the best player in the nation.

You saw last season what Ohio State quarterback Braxton Miller could do in an offense more suited to his skill set.

Remember this? And this? And this?

But it's what Miller didn't do that builds his case to be the nation's best quarterback in the 2013 season.

Take his scrambling skills, for example.

"Awful," Ohio State offensive coordinator Tom Herman said. "Just awful."

We'll come back later to how a quarterback who rushed for 1,271 yards and 13 touchdowns last season can be such an awful scrambler.

For now, let's move onto Miller's grasp of the Buckeyes offense.

"We went 12-0 last year, he finished fifth in the Heisman [voting] and he couldn't draw you where all 11 guys were going to be," Herman said.
