From what I have read most of those HS kids were just goofing off. If was a FB player graduating from HS and I had thought about it I would have put my name in for the draft too. Heck, if I was in the band I probably would have done it.
I don't think the Clarett ruling will have as much impact as many believe. There are not that many kids who leave early today, even though they could. Many NFL draftees are 5 year players (Hartsock, Carter, Bishop, Clarke, and Anderson to name a few). Many of those who leave after one or two years will be the same who leave after three now. I look for 5-10 WRs and DBs plus one or two super studs at other position to bail eariler than three season. It will dilute somewhat, but will have nothing like the effect it did in basketball. And evey kid who leaves will be a kid who doesn't want to be where he is - so more power to them. I think the ruling really helps a coach like JT relative to USC or Miami.
