Aaron Jones leaving

[Cube Jack]

So he decided to enter the draft. Hope he goes on to a successful life if not a successful career in football. We'll see. Hope the next starting RB for UTEP has huge success as a Miner.

Well, it's a good thing he decided not to play in the bowl game!

He had to go before Kugs completely wore him out. That being said, as much as I like Aa Jones, I see him going after 5th rd or FA route. Hernandez is most likely a 3rd to 5th rounder. Can't blame them for making the jump.

Thank God that he didn't play for Floyd or he would have left 3 years ago.

Good stuff and a smart move. Hope to see him doing well and repping EPT and UTEP in the NFL for many years.

He did -- and was one of Floyd's better players!

His twitter account blew up from people thanking him and giving well wishes. It was really nice to read something so positive. I agree he will go mid rounds maybe lower because he is a tad injury prone no thanks to Kugler.

Did Kugler really abuse Jones? For comparison sake let's take Pumphery from San Diego St through four years here are his attempts per season
2013- 125
2014- 276
2015- 309
2016- 330
Here are Jones
2013-155
2014- 242
2015- 32
2016- 229
Pumphery played in every single game of his college career without any injuries. Jones has been prone to injury since his high school days.
