Powers blows it

Then he's caught a case of the dumas.

Chizik has coached 3 DBs up to Thorpe Award winners...in consecutive years.

Powers might learn a thing or two if he sticks around.

Doesn't he have until the 15th or so to back out of that though?
He was obviously the best DB Auburn had in '08, but I really think he would be better served waiting a year to do this.

He hasnt talked to an agent yet but I feel confident he's gonne move on. Hell, he will have his degree in May so even though he might've been able to improve his stock with another year its not like hes pulling a McGlover or anything...

Precisely. I stand corrected.

Horrible move...but only academically. He's not going to make it far in the NFL, but this might be his best shot. He ain't growin' taller, and he ain't gettin' faster. He's a solid player and might make a roster for a few years. However, if he totally busts, he's going to have some trouble without a degree and without an NFL contract.

He should stay in school solely to receive his degree, and then test the NFL waters. It certainly won't hurt his status.

I have heard that he graduates in May, anyone else heard this?

You can always go back and get your degree. Most players put in their contracts that the professional team will pay for them to complete their undergrad education, and even if its not in the contract he still has plenty of money to pay for a semester or a year of school. Its better to make your money now than risk getting hurt and never making that kind of money.

He graduates in May guys, hes not doing anything wrong. If he feels this is the best move for him then, as much as I hate to see him hang up the AU jersey, Isupport him. He's not throwing a chance at a degree away though guys so don't move so hastily to hate on him.

Truth. And even if he were, this is true:
