I don't know where he thinks he'll end up in a combine. With his hands and physicality he's nothing to write home about as a WR. At this stage he's just another in a long, long list of guys who can run fast.
If he does leave, I wish him the best. As a highly touted recruit, he has been moved around to many different positions, and not been greatly successful at any of them. But through all that, he has kept a positive and uplifting attitude all along, and I commend him for that. Ive enjoyed watching him. I hope he stays one more year.... work hard, work long, stay focused ... and make it happen. There will be a guy under center next year that can get him the ball ... at least I think there is.
So we scored 35 points a game or so and that's not enough offense for some of our players. That's crazy. Alabama smothered everyone this year. The reality is that Shepard came in as a jack of all trades and a master of none. In the end, that hurt him. How would you guys get him the ball. There are only so many end arounds and receiver screens you can run.
I just have a hard time thinking Shep is stupid enough to believe he would get drafted at this point. Thus, I don't think he is leaving.
If he leaves I doubt it's for the draft. I'm thinking more "Sam Houston State" or "Texas Southern." Something like that...
How could that possibly be exciting for a kid used to competing with and against the best in the game?
