Santonio Holmes, maybe? Just a guess.

I'm guessing he's not on the list because most people think it's a foregone conclusion. I guess after re-reading the initial post I shouldn't have responded because I don't have any inside info but I did visit SGN once.

I don't see Youboty, Whitner, or Pitcock leaving. Youboty is the most likely, but I think that he'd have to have a huge bowl game (a la Chris Gamble) before that were to become a reality. He's had a solid year, but nothing that should feed his intentions of leaving early.

the only possible candidates that I can see (and by candidates I mean underclassmen who are listed on the two-deep) are Datish, Holmes, Downing, Barton, Smith, White, Gonzalez, Patterson, Pitcock, Penton, D'Andrea, Kerr, Youboty, Mitchell and Whitner. Datish, Downing, Barton, Smith, White, Gonzalez, Penton, D'Andrea, Kerr and Mitchell obviously aren't going anywhere. That leaves Holmes, Pitcock, Patterson, Youboty and Whitner. I doubt Patterson and Pitcock have even thought about the idea of leaving early, but they could down the road. That leaves Holmes, Youboty and Whitner. I don't think Donte is a longshot at best to leave early, which leaves just Holmes and Youboty as the only possible options. Duane Long constantly brings up the fact that Santonio has a family to support and Ashton chose OSU because of how many corners they put in the league, so I think it is logical to expect that both of them will entertain the idea. I think in the end only Holmes leaves...Ashton could certainly benefit from another year under Coach Haynes. But we shall see...
