Clarett Loses In Court One More Time

Correct, Skins. Sorry, I'm not doing a very good job of explaining myself this evening.

but the bottle down Daseal, youve got to learn your limits...

Hogskin · 05-26-2004, 11:21 PM

Yeah, Daseal. When you put the bottle down, pass it over THIS way. I apparently need to switch to another drink! I re-read your post, and you DID say projected #1 in 3 years. I misread it earlier.

But I don't understand your point about why that makes it better for him to be allowed to be drafted now. He was projected to go 3rd of 4th round coming out now. And I saw the same statements you did - but they were based on him having another excellent college season - then he would be looking like an early first rounder. That seems to make my nutty point. LOL Help me out - what am I missing here?

Im sure Clarrett could get a college scholorship to plenty of schools. He should go back and play a year and enter the draft. His chances of being a first round pick will skyrocket if he proves hes got teh skills. Then he can afford all these lawyers bills.

SkinsnCanes:

I wonder about all the scholarships Clarett could get these days. In order for him to go to another D-1A school, he'd have to sit out a year and that assumes that the NCAA would reinstate his eligibility based on no academic performance in the last year or so. That's not going to fit into his plans; he will be in next year's NFL draft no matter what.

He could go to D-1A except that many of those schools don't give scholarships. I'm not meaning to slight Clarett, but frankly, I don't see him passing the asmission standards to get into a school in the Ivy League or one of the military academies.

He could probably go to a school in the MEAC for a year and not have to sit out and he could certainly go to a D-III school but they tend not to give athletic scholarships.

Here is what I find sad in all of this. Clarett listened to people who blew in his ear telling him that he should sue the NFL to get in the draft and that he'd win his case and be a mortal lock as a high draft pick. And none of them advised him to keep open some escape route just in case all of this did not work out exactly the way they told him it would work out.

If Montreal has his CFL rights, I hope he took French 101 at Ohio State...

I think Clarette is better off now because I feel he might go to the CFL (which seems to be a step down from NCAA) and he really just wanted to get into the NFL and play.

I wish it were alcohol. OT in over 100 degree temps kinda frys my up! I get lazy and tired, and since I understand I don't seem to convey my poitn very effectivly!

SKINSnCANES · 05-27-2004, 12:14 AM

how does that make him better off that his playing with the people that wernt that good in college and couldnt make it to teh NFL. If he wants to be seriously looked at he should go back to college IMO.

He will get paid in teh CFL though, and wotn have to study. A paycheck, man I need a job...
