A big loss obviously but I feel confident this the right move for Danny, and that Kanak, Lewis and McKenzie are going to be ready next season.

Likely a 4th or 5th round pick, All Big 12 was easier than All SEC so I get why he is leaving. Not a huge loss, next man up.
And after seeing what some Tiny 12 offenses did to Kanak he better figure it out soon.

Wow. Really? I think your Razorback neighbor hacked into your Rivals account.
Stutsman is a CBS/247 All-American. It is a huge loss, both as a player and a team leader. But I'm not surprised by his declaring. Sad, but not surprised. I hope he does well.

Nobody hacked me, my opinion. Guess we will see, he aint no Teddy Lehman. And the LB Corps was a big reason the D stunk it up the last few games. Venables needs some studs and he better be watching that Portal.
I hope he does well too, just not very high on the guy.
Losing a leader and certainly some toughness. His injury at KU brought a huge gap in the defense. I am pretty sure his injury reduced his warrior play after sitting out Bedlam. So this makes two solid leaders in Danny and Drake no longer around for 2024. I am not sure who can step into that role in a very important first SEC season. We better recruit our *** off at LB.
Kanak was lost out there back half of the season. We better coach him up, but with Roof’s history of backsliding, I cannot see this happening. Kip Lewis and…. to anchor LB crew??

A name to watch for as his replacement is Phil Picciotti. Tore his pec and is out for this season, but should be ready for spring ball. 6'3 240lb, and will stick ya. I think he and McKenzie will be the guys in the middle, Kanak and Lewis need to play outside, they are just not big enough to play in the middle.
I'm not going say much because generally I think you're a good dude but this is one dumbass, disrespectful "opinion".
Stutsman is a beast and a huge loss. But good for him! Best of luck to the young man and I can see him going in the 3rd Round, a lot will probably depend on his performance at the combine, but game tape don't lie!
I think I saw over a million for any ‘skill’ position 3rd rounder somewhere. Kip better step into that role and hopefully there are 3-4 more close prospects for next season
OU was 10-0 with Stutsman available for the whole game and 0-2 when he wasn't. Some guys who were reported to be substandard in the "fits" are going to have to improve in a hurry. It's not just about the guy you lose. It's about how good the replacement might be.
Danny's body took a beating over the course of the season. He's going to need this time off to get his body ready for the pro evaluations. I'm happy for him, but sad that we won't have him in San Antonio. And he's every bit the equal of Ted Lehman. Defense is a lot more challenging than it was in Ted's day. The impact of the spread that Bob Stoops brought to modern football hadn't really had its full effect with mobile, talented running quarterbacks until the end of Ted's time at OU. And while I have no idea how good of a pro linebacker Danny will be. I suspect he'll last longer than Ted did in the NFL, if his health holds up.

Dont get me wrong I am happy for him and think its a sound decision on his part, but what pisses me off is if he indeed skips the bowl game, that hes quitting on his team. Go pro fine, make your money but you started the year as the starting middle linebacker and leader of this defense, you should finish what you started and lead your team to a bowl victory.
Skipping bowl games for the draft is the norm these days it seems. Chaps my *** also. Like ct says, CFB is a farm system now. And as has always been, in the NFL you're only one injury away from your career ending.
I understand the sentiment of wanting these guys to play in the Bowl Games, but at the end of the day, if it's not a CFP game, it's meaningless for someone entering the draft. There really isn't anything for Stutsman to "gain" by playing, but their is a ton to lose if he blows out his knee or suffers some other major injury. His best bet for improving his current projected draft status is to train and then kill it at the Combine. Playing in the Alamo Bowl will have Zero affect on that.

Personal attacks because of hurt feelers. Grow up lil *****.
Call em like I see them. Your take was bad. Bad enough you should know it's bad. Stutsman is a major loss.

I can't fault him if his draft grade was indeed a nice surprise. I also, don't fault him for not going to a worthless Alamo Bowl. It sounds like the exact opposite happened to DG and I don't fault him for extended his college career.

Yeah and it was my opinion. Don't start a personal attack because you can't handle an opinion. I am actually getting sick of it. Its a message board where there are all kinds of opinions that will be different than yours. I suggest you grow up and if someones opinion hurts your feelings then put your big girl panties on and deal with it and stop attacking someone because you can't handle it.

Don't worry man, I'm sure your positive vibes will invoke sooner magic all over the Alamo hole.God dammit, I just spent a nice piece on a nice piece and some of you are banging up all the ambiance of my night.
My opinion is that your opinion was dumb. I don't think it's me that can't handle an opinion.
Worth noting, not all opinions are equal...apparently.

No, you want to attack someone personally because an opinion set your panties on fire, big difference. Its exactly why this board was almost shut down yrs ago, personal attacks because of differences of opinion.
I say again GFY.

You can't handle a harsh judge of your opinion. Not my problem. If you're so offended report me and get me banned. Don't sit here and act above the fray with the **** your responding with. You wanna imply that Danny is running from the SEC and that our best defensive player is no loss. That's your opinion. Great. It's a terrible opinion. I won't disagree that degrading your opinion in the manner I did is a "personal attack" but I don't really care if your feelings were hurt in the process.
I'm hearing mixed reports on it being "official". To much smoke though to not assume he's gone.

He is not Lehman, he was a PHYSICAL freak at 250lbs and running a 4.4, 40, Lehman is Top 10 in OU history at LB. I would compare too a Rufus Alexander type player. His leadership and anchor of the defense will be missed and that loss will be tough to replace. I don't see him going any higher in the draft, with another year of CFB.
I wish him well and get why he's skipping a no nothing bowl.

Sure you do. You sure must have a helluva man crush on Danny, my opinion really got to you. Who am I to judge? Be the best you that you can be, however difficult that may be for you.
Keep trying and keep pissing.
