Veazy Says Jamont will be back in school...

Next week. He said his grades were good. Hopefully this hasnt been discussed already, but does his coming back to school bode well for him returning to college? hmm... we won't know for a while. Before Ben's departure i thought we'd make it with or without him, but now, we need him badly for depth purposes.

No no no. We need Jamont for third team all-american and point scoring purposes.

And I agree with you. I was simply stating that I didn't think we'd miss him AS MUCH with Benny boy there.

The chances of JG coming back to school after spending the rest of the season in Nashville are nil. With him back in school, I'd say it's a 50-50 deal.

Maybe I'm just being a sheep, but I really think that if Jamont comes out now, his best chance is to make a roster as a 2nd round draft pick for league minimum money. And that's his best case scenario. Worst case is Mario Austin II. His only chance at 1st round guaranteed 7-figure money is to come back to school and improve enough to be a 1st round pick. Again, that's a best case scenario, but if it doesn't work out he'd be no worse off next year than he is this year.

And I think Jamont's smart enough to realize that his only chance at the big payoff is to come back to school (or wait until he can become a free agent if he leaves now). That's why he pulled out of the draft early last year. To keep his options open this year. I agree with TR. I think our chances of keeping Jamont for 1 more year are 50/50.
