Josey to the draft. Who will UGA be playing in the one true championship game?

I'm a little torn on that one. I don't think he'll be any higher than like a 6th round draft pick at best. RBs just aren't valued like they used to be, and he has a severe injury in his recent history that is going to scare off a lot of NFL teams. The guy apparently needs a paycheck though, he has a kid already that he needs to support, and I honestly don't think 1 more year would change his draft stock any.

Luckily the 2 guys behind him on the depth chart are just as good. All 3 of our RBs averaged over 6 YPC this year, it's just that the other two, Hansborough and Murphy didn't get as many carries as Josey. Heck, Soph. Marcus Murphy had 9TDs and 6.5 YPC on only 92 carries. He's damn good(was our punt and kick returner this year)

This isn't a loaded question or meant to insult anyone, but explain a 50% graduation rate please. Well, maybe explain graduation rate in general. Does it really imply what it sounds like, that X% of people enrolled at the University just do not graduate? Or is that of the players on that team? 51% seems absurdly crazy, even 70% seems crazy. Do that many people who go to school just drop out? Tons of people left the EE program at Auburn but they remained in the University, just moved to the business school (okay that was meant as an insult!).

That is rates for the football team, not university as a whole.

And it's not that crazy considering that is the rate of all Freshman not making it to graduation. You don't lose 50% in any given year, but losing 50% over those 4-5 years, yeah, that happens a lot. And athletes as a whole tend to have higher graduation rates than the general student population

just 56% of college students complete a four-year degree within six years, according to a 2011 Harvard Graduate School of Education study.

That makes more sense if it is just the team as it seems like with scholarships coming and going, injuries, students transferring to other programs, and so forth. It would all impact the overall grad rate. Some of the grad rates in that link are just shocking. Wow.

In an article I read about Manziel declaring for the draft:
The first freshman quarterback to win the Heisman is also just the fifth Heisman winning quarterback to leave school early for the NFL Draft, following Andre Ware, Sam Bradford, Cam Newton, and Robert Griffin III.

That sounds about right.

Sounds like he's going to get an interview. Will be interesting to see where Saban goes with this hire.
