And just get ready for the draft.?

Would yoy be mad at him if he did that?
 
He is not going to do that.

Nobody moves Will. Literally. He also plays like a well trained pro which translates into decreasing your chances of getting hurt. Good coaches and trainers teach to "up" your game which includes how to play at a higher level and also how to take care of your body on and off the field and Will appears to have that.
 
He is graduating in December, it would not make sense for him to quit now when he only has less than 2 months left to earn his degree.

I dont think anyone would blame him. Its not to prevent injury because you can get hurt at anytime. What more does he have to prove at UTEP? They are not gonna win another game and program is in chaos. His coach was fired and not there anymore.
 
Fascinating question. No. Quiting the team would indicate to a professional team that an individual is not of professional caliber, is not a serious player or teammate. You stand together through thin and thinner.
 
Don't teams play the youngers guys anyways? Anytime there is a coaching change during the season and there is nothing to play for. Arent the underclassmen played more just so they get experience for next year.
 
Isn't it amazing that we have football players who stay even when the situation looks bad. Yet we have roughly 50% of our basketball players leave year after year.

Hernandez could have left last year and been a mid to late round draft pick, but he stayed. Conversely, Lee More and Vince Hunter had no chance at getting drafted, yet they turned pro and left anyway.
 
You cant compare football to basketball. Basketball players have options to make money elsewhere. Vince hasnt made NBA but he has been getting paid pretty well.

Not making any excuses for Floyd, as I am as tired of them as anyone, but the situation is different for guys like Moore and Hunter, from the guys in football. With the opportunity to make money overseas for that level of player, I can see the lure for these guys to make money immediately. Many of these guys go to school just to play basketball, and not the other way around. When a team has so little chance, like UTEP, for additional exposure in the NCAA tourney, I can see why those guys bailed early rather than toil on obscurity for another year.
 
I wouldn't blame him if he decided to stop playing, I just wouldn't want him to quit school so close to graduating.

If he is going to quit, so he can start training for the NFL, then he would likely need to sign with an agent, as the Agent would be paying for his training program and training facility access. Can he sign with an agent and still attend classes under his scholarship?

Someone asked the question the other day, has a First Team All-American player ever come from a team that went 0-12? I don't know the answer.
 
That Stanford RB quit and didnt play in the Sun Bowl. People really didnt give him a hard time. Whats the difference?
Cause there's 5 games left in his SR I'm not sure where u see this as a normal thing. Please provide a valid example of a College Player who quit on his team half way through the season and it ended up well for him????

i know as a compeitor he probably wouldnt do it. But i wouldnt blame him if he did. How many games does Will have to play to qualify for end of the season awards? Like All American and stuff like that?

I see no difference between 5 games and the Sun Bowl game. And its easy for you to say that he shouldnt stop. You not a NFL prospect and in danger of losing millions if he gets injured.

Won't happen, he'll finish his brothers and move on from there
 
He is gone at the end of the season. He will be a high round so his agent will take him out of school. He will finish school on line. He has no reason to hang around UTEP.
 
He is not going to do that.

Well if UTEP HAD good coaches and trainers maybe your take would hold water. I say why take chances. Just ask Jalon Smith what he would do if he had to do it all over again. Dude went from over $20 to $4mil. If you must finish your Senior year with your homies, play a few downs each game and then put on your baseball cap. You're already at the top of the NFL radar.
