Star Ohio State LB James Laurinaitis has decided to hold off on going pro and return to Columbus. He apparently wants to get embarrassed in the title game for a third year in a row. While I always like it when players return to college I honestly don't get this one at all. He must have gotten word that his stock was not as high as ESPN's Todd McShay has previously stated (top 15 pick) because if you are slated to go in the first 15 picks on the NFL draft you would be retarded to stay in school. The risk of injury is simply too high for someone to stick around and what are the odds that he stays in the top 15? I remember a few years ago stud Georgia DE Quentin Moses decided to stay for his senior year when he was projected as a first or second round pick and his stock plummeted. While this is certainly good news for Ohio State it won't make much of a difference unless they surround Laurinaitis with 10 other guys just like him.
Editor's Note: We will have a VERY early top 10 up after the deadline for underclassmen to declare for the draft has passed (Jan. 15th).
