My thought is that the following have a chance to make the jump now. Will they?
Dante Ridgeway, Jr. WR / Ball State 6'1", 199lb.
This guy really has nothing left to prove on a personal level. He's a man amoung boys on the field, with no one able to cover him one-on-one. OTOH, Ball State is a young team and should be somewhat improved next season. Will he stay to help the team and/or finish his degree?
My opinion: 70% chance he leaves. I'd say he's a 1st-3rd round draft pick right now.
Greg Jennings, Jr. WR / WMU 5'11", 191lb.
Jennings is among the nation's most dangerous WRs and punt returners. He has a knack for getting open and makes catches that make even veteran fans blink. With a coaching change in the works and coming off two terrific individual seasons on a losing team, will he feel the need to return to Kalamazoo?
My opinion: he has a shot at being drafted, but playing on a struggling WMU team has made it tough to achieve national recognition. I'm thinking he should stay for another year of seasoning. He should make it on some watchlists for his senior year.
Those are the only two that stand out to me and appear to have a legitimate shot. Anyone else?
