BREAKING Malik Gant

[Josh Stowers]

safety Malik Gant will forego his senior season and enter the NFL Draft.

Gant will hire an agent so his career at Marshall has ended.

Leaving early very rarely works out. They should stay for their final year.

Let's hope that it was more than this article (which was published yesterday) that lead him to the decision:

He "should" get drafted... Will be a top 15 safety in this class and usually more than 15 safeties get picked.

Another draft note - I saw where one publication had Tyre Brady as the 15th best receiver in this draft and gave him a 4th round grade.

Yes. I'm sure he based his decision solely on an opinion piece from a college sports blog.

Because such a thing would be unheard of for a Marshall player to do.

Just a smattering of links I found offhand, don't have a ton of time to research, but here you go. Yw.

Your reading comprehension isn't very good, is it? Not one of those articles said any of those people left school based entirely on a blog hyping their play. But you already knew that.

But you already knew that.

I did. I took your incredulity over my post to indicate that such a thing was unthinkable coming from a Marshall athlete, and I just wanted to show you that this stuff happens all the time. If you want to narrow the argument to a tiny sliver so I can be wrong, that's fine. Good job - you win that argument.

You're the one that tossed the blog out as the (not a) possible reason. My post pointed out the ridiculousness of that theory. Don't get chafed when a ridiculous post blows up in your face.
