Unlike past years, I believe everyone who's declared for the draft is graduating. Congratulations to all of them on earning their degrees and I wish them nothing but success however they choose to define it.
I'm wondering to what extent some of these players are leaving early because they either haven't gotten into grad school at Stanford or they know they won't get in because their grades aren't good enough? Maybe there's just not an option for them to return for another year? Just speculation but I'm trying to put myself in the shoes of guys like Weddington and Antoine who I don't see having much if any chance of being drafted and I'm not seeing another explanation. The UDFA route is really, really hard.
