Hell, we've had an early entrant drafted every year since 2015. Colby Parkinson will make it 6 drafts in a row.
OK, the old dog won't die. I agree with you, Phogge, and I don't have a problem with recruits thinking/wanting to make the NFL after three years in college. But for Stanford to tweet a graphic saying that a recruit is going to be drafted in 2025, and then the recruit "correcting" the tweet and saying that he will be in the NFL in 2024, not 2025, makes me wonder if said recruited is all that interested in Stanford. Honestly, I hope I'm wrong.
If there's one thing people have learned in Berkeley, it's that you can't put "Cal football" and "Rose Bowl" in the same sentence. The words just don't fit. You'd be better off linking "covered wagons" with "Mars travel." (Bruce Jenkins, Cal '70, SF Chronicle, Nov. 11, 2017)
