AUTUmike 79 Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 I've heard some rumblings about McKinzy leaving early for the NFL. Anyone have any info on this? Other than Coates and Duke, are there any other players seriously considering an early exit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShocksMyBrain 9,345 Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 I dunno, but you should consider changing the title of the thread to reflect the information within. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weagl1 1,780 Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Nowhere near good enough. My guess would be an undrafted free agent at this point. If he sticks around for a year under CWM he might make the board and get some signing bucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarTiger 3,874 Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 My understanding is that McKinzy, Williams, Coates and Frost have asked to be evaluated to see where they would possibly get drafted. It's unlikely either McKinzy or Frost leave early, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShocksMyBrain 9,345 Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 I don't know what their personal/family details entail, but I think every junior defensive player would be crazy not to stick around under Muschamp's tutelage for a year.

McKinzy is worried about having to learn a new defensive scheme, that is why he is considering leaving, although ultimately I expect him to stick around. He's not exactly dripping with football IQ, to put it bluntly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not exactly dripping with football IQ, to put it bluntly. Sounds like a fairly valid reason. Although potentially being undrafted free agent this year versus showing a little effort for another year in college seems like it would be a no-brainer. At worst, he'd just wind up in the same spot this time next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hutchids 227 Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Linebacker will really blow without casanova and frost. I don't think either is ready. Frost has the ability but isnt there yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auburn4ever 1,266 Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 I strongly believe Kris, Sammie and Duke needs to stay for their senior year. Their stock will go up even higher for the 2016 draft if they don't leave early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see where there would be much of a fall-off. Swain, Garrett and Tre Williams have done as well as any of our LB's when they are out there.

Frost will be a 5th year senior if he returns. Don't expect him to improve much. McKinzy should be a DE. I think the 3 you mention might be more coachable in CWM's system. Hopefully a couple of freshmen could provide depth under Boom's tutelage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronau57 12 Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Sammie and Duke are risking too much to stay. McKenize is likely a late round pick, he has he size and speed neither is likely to become much better with another year at AU. Frost is unlikely to be drafted. He doesn't have the measurables, he needs a great year to showcase some talent and needs to get on a jumping / leaping program to increase his speed.

mcgufcm 4,096 Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Gracious, I don't often jump fully on-board with meta because of his bedside manner, but wow, that statement couldn't be farther from the truth. Frost has every measurable you'd ever want from a LB. What he lacks is consistency in his film. He had dominant games this year, and he had games where he disappeared. Consistency is the only thing he'd lacking. He and Cass would be crazy to leave, but the same was true of Darvin Adams and Robert Johnson. I hope they both come back. The idea that we wouldn't miss them is nuts. Mikey, you're out of your mind if you think the back-up LBs looked as good as Frost and McKinzy. Out of your mind. Tre Williams was so lost he had to be removed from the rotation. He's got a ton of talent, but he looked like a blind man wandering around in a new place. He just bumped into stuff from time to time.

KcPg14 24 Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 I doubt he leaves just yet. I think the hiring of WM might get him to change his mind. He won't get drafted right now if he went. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KcPg14 24 Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Our LB's haven't been that great because who was the LB coach? EJ... And that stupid system. I don't blame the LB's just yet. But next year should be better with 2 whole years of experience and a new LB coach. That will be a really important hire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUTUmike 79 Posted December 15, 2014 Author Share Posted December 15, 2014 Does anyone know when NFL evaluations are returned to players? I've got to think that the new evaluation process will help us keep guys that would have previously been projected as late round picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cole256 16,957 Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 I tell you what, one good thing for the players is that won't be evaluated half as harsh as they are on this board? Some of you are a trip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
