Every year, Alabama has several juniors who have to make one of the toughest choices of their lives in whether to forgo their final season of eligibility to enter the draft. Saban has long been on record suggesting that players who are very likely first rounders should go, but those who have a better than average shot of falling out of the first should return and fine tune for another year. The logic is simple: you will not only make more money as an early-to-middle first rounder, but another year of development gives you a better chance at earning early playing time for coaches that really don’t have the time to put into developing your individual skills.
