A six-pack of Canes notes on a Tuesday night:
u25aa First, let’s make this clear: The jump in the number of college football players who turn pro early – and then get picked later than expected, or not at all – is a college football problem, not a UM problem. And what you’re about to read is not a criticism of the Canes players or the young men who bypass college eligibility to turn pro.
But for a third consecutive year, the lesson for UM players, and others, couldn’t be more clear: When you think about turning pro, don’t assume the most ambitious draft projections are going to come true.
