Both have filed paperwork and if both should leave for the NFL who steps up? Didn't see much besides them and SH last season.

Smallwood already said he was coming back.
Shell is not near ready.
Filing paperwork only means you get an evaluation,
You are either still trying to stir crap or ignorant.

I don't think he said anything about going anywhere, Falcon. Said they filed paperwork, which they have.... we all know that. We all probably know that your assessment is correct and the players will see that as well.

No need to badger, it's all good.

Doing the paperwork also tells players: Stay in school because you need to get better to make the money you want. Not everyone is a Geno Smith, a lock for the first round. We've seen WVU player after WVU player find out that their NFL careers do NOT match their Mountaineer careers.
It's like going from high school to college. All-Staters don't always translate into super college careers. All-Americans don't necessarily make it big in the NFL.
I know it's tough for 21 and 22 year olds, but look long term. It doesn't matter how much money you make in 2016. What counts more is how much money you've made by retirement day.

It's good of you to be a peacekeeper. RIP.

Uh, Geno was a second round pick and he did not come out early. I'm not sure how you either think he was a lock for the first round or an example of coming out early not being wise.

Geno was sooooooooooooo disappointed when his name wasn't called in the first round. He sulked for days ................ as I remember. But, it's all good. He's a rich man (financially) today by any standard.
