Odd that gemon didn’t get an invite. I thought he would for sure be in the mix.
February 8th, 2023 at 9:32 PM ^
This is where I believe a player should have the right to return at any point before they sign an NFL contract. If they don't get drafted come on back until you're eligibilities up.
If Green is not going to get the chance to show off his abilities in front of NFL scouts I just can't imagine it's going to bold well for him.
February 8th, 2023 at 9:40 PM ^
Someone correct me if I'm wrong but every school also has a pro day as well, right? The combine isn't a player's only chance to display skills.
February 9th, 2023 at 8:53 AM ^
Not every school, but I'd imagine every P5 school does. I know Deion hosted some players from other HBCUs last year at Jackson State.
February 8th, 2023 at 9:43 PM ^
won't italicize well for him either
February 8th, 2023 at 9:51 PM ^
Looking forward to what Moody throws down in the 40
February 8th, 2023 at 10:07 PM ^
Bold well huh, I think he’s more of an italics guy…
February 9th, 2023 at 8:01 AM ^
It's "bode well".
February 9th, 2023 at 10:21 AM ^
For all intensive purposes.
February 9th, 2023 at 9:07 AM ^
This isn't just the right take, it's the only ethical take. The idea that a kid is now a professional athlete because he declared himself for the draft is absurd. Really, it shouldn't be until they sign a contract that obligates them to receive money for playing. But, I can see the peril of a player not liking their draft position and then deciding to come back to college. But, really, is that any different than not liking a job offer and staying with your old employer? That's the NFL's problem, to regulate draft-dodgers, not the NCAA's. The NCAA should function absolutely blind to the NFL. And what the NCAA does here is immoral, and colluding, IMO. It's just the old corpse of rich white dudes sticking it to student-athletes at the behest of old NFL white dudes.

Not even your escape goat will save you now.

Msu with 2 invites second to last in the conference only ahead of Indiana and Rutgers. I blame the tunnel!!!
February 8th, 2023 at 8:39 PM ^
Well deserved young men!!!
Best of luck on your potential pro careers 👍🏈.
February 8th, 2023 at 8:48 PM ^
Excellent...almost time for our Fantasy Combine Draft.
February 8th, 2023 at 8:54 PM ^
Interesting when combined with the Top 5 returning production rating.
February 8th, 2023 at 8:54 PM ^
Good luck to everyone! The more Wolverines in the NFL the better for recruiting. I think Morris, Olu, Mazi and Turner have the best chances of going in the top 3/4 rounds.
February 8th, 2023 at 9:32 PM ^
I’m seeing mazi pop up in some first rounds mocks
February 8th, 2023 at 9:04 PM ^
How did Robbins and Moody get one and Green did not?
February 8th, 2023 at 9:53 PM ^
i have no idea how players are chosen, but moody and robbins are easily better at their position with respect to the rest of the nation than green, imo.
February 8th, 2023 at 9:58 PM ^
I'd imagine there is a lot more competition for the DB spots than the specialist spots, and Moody (for sure) and probably Robbins are closer to the top of their position lists than Green is.
February 8th, 2023 at 9:04 PM ^
Well, we are the premiere program in the conference according to … well …. *waves hands broadly at the last 2 years*
February 9th, 2023 at 10:24 AM ^
And we lead the conference in tunnel incidents by a wide margin, as well. Who's got it better than us?
February 8th, 2023 at 10:09 PM ^
Yeah, so if we could lead the B1G in combine invites while also returning the most production year in and year out, that’d be great, ok.
Also, just yet another shining example of the talent disparity between the two divisions.
February 8th, 2023 at 10:14 PM ^
Lead the Big 10 in combine invites and in returning production
February 8th, 2023 at 10:58 PM ^
Maryland 7!!!!!!
ties the previous century total.
February 9th, 2023 at 6:43 AM ^
A little taken back that Maryland had so many invitations. Locksley has really turned that program around pretty quickly.
February 9th, 2023 at 6:55 AM ^
Locksley and Under Armour
February 9th, 2023 at 10:26 AM ^
Don't know how he did it without Gattis creating his game plans.
February 9th, 2023 at 7:00 AM ^
I suggest that we pause and contemplate (through this indirect combine measure) what a poor job Ryan Day is doing of developing all his talent.
February 9th, 2023 at 9:00 AM ^
Heron, the Buckeyes have had a lot of success on the football field. That being said, with the depth of talent they have had - and, for so long - you could say they underperform in the CFP based on their level of talent.
February 9th, 2023 at 7:34 AM ^
This should be a bigger factor than NIL when it comes to recruiting. This staff has NFL experience, understands the process and will prepare you for the next level. You may not drive a Lambo before you play a down though. You might have to wait till you're 23, but you will have a nice degree as a backup option. You will appreciate it more once you put the work in.
February 9th, 2023 at 9:18 AM ^
I never followed this but always wondered... does not getting a camp invite usually mean the player won't be drafted ?
February 9th, 2023 at 1:21 PM ^
Based on overall numbers, it would seem that way.
Roughly 320 kids invited to the combine each year and roughly 256 draft picks each year (255.8 average over last 10 years).
I dug into the 2022 NFL draft where, as far as I can tell, 35 players that didn't earn an invite to the scouting combine were drafted.
