Just throwing this out there for discussion. I had actually not put much thought behind it before yesterday when I heard the Common Man and The Torg (local Columbus radio honks for Buckeyes no longer in Central Ohio) talk about it.
Common Man didn't think any of them would. Torg said he thought Mike Brewster would leave and will be a 2nd or 1st round pick. He also said that although he doesn't think he should be doing it, Mike Adams would at least flirt with leaving, but would ultimately come back.
I was surprised by the Brewster thing, but like I said, I hadn't even put any serious thought yet into any underclassmen leaving besides Posey, who needs to prove he can be the #1 guy in an offense and not drop balls before leaving for the big league.
Then there's the whole "will the NFL actually be playing football next year factor". This has probably led to me not thinking about underclassmen leaving as much as anything else.
11Boadiors: how say you? Any underclassmen leaving early for sure? Who is most likely?
Herron is the biggest threat. And by threat I mean he's gone and we won't suffer much with Hall, Hyde, Smith, etc.

I can't imagine Herron getting drafted by anyone. Brewster probably could, but I doubt he'd be a first couple of round pick. The one I was thinking is Nate Williams. He's been impressive and could perhaps take off. Brewster would be a tough loss, hope he decides to hang around one more season.
Chad Johnson (refuse to call him Ocho whatever) posted on twitter that the NFL Players union head sent a memo saying to start saving your money cause there is a great likelihood that a lockout is pending for at least 1 year. If that happens, I'm all the sudden concerned about the UMiami trip I was going to make next year. Those tix may be hard to come by. Also, not sure we have anyone who should leave just yet.
I know when we were discussing this at the beginning of the season that Posey was the biggest threat to bolt early. Can't imagine the season he had helped his stock, though.
People keep throwing Boom's name out there, but I'm not sure he'd go higher than the 5th round right now.
Too many good receivers out there to keep Posey from going in the first 2 rounds.
Posey and Boom's stock could only rise with another year. Brewster concerns me. I think everyone else will be back.
