Given that he is out for the year before school starts, if he wants to graduate in three years he can certainly load up on classes this quarter. That, plus three years of summer school, should put him in the ballpark of having enough credits to graduate from most majors at the end of this year. I hate to say it, but the NFL is so desperate for good o-linemen, that I think he would still be in the top 3 rounds. Therefore, the only reason for him to come back is if his injury is of the nature that his draft status would slide beyond that.

If Little returned next season and played very well, would he likely be a top 15 draft pick ?

I think Kiper had him at #14 overall before the injury.
