Does this hurt the chances of getting Hines if Thornton stays?
Hello Burlington!
it shouldn’t hurt our chances, he allows us to demonstrate our commitment to the ground game which should entice recruits like him. But then again if he wants to play as a true freshmen and not redshirt then maybe it does a small bit.
How does he rate as an NFL prospect? I have been surprised at the speculation because I think he is a long shot to make it.

I agree. I love Shad and hope the best for him if he does go, but seems like he’d be more likely to latch on as an UFA at this point.
I can’t remember (or find) the exact stat, but Shad averaged 5.5 ypc this year, which was good enough for something like top 5 or 10 in the nation.
Shad would make an NFL roster. Speed, strength, hands, quickness, enough elusivity, and runs HARD. Always ‘finished’ runs and a great YAC.
IMO, as an RB, he’d be wise to enter the draft now.

So, you think he’d get drafted – and possibly (relatively) early?
If so, then shows what I know haha … good for him if he does go and makes good.
Just my opinion based on what I’ve seen. I’m no draft expert or NFL talent evaluator.
Lots of RBs in NFL that were ‘unknowns’ in college football. Shad shares the skill set they have in common.
He won’t get drafted high though. With the NFL’s RB by committee nowadays, very very few are.
It’s unclear when the page was last updated… possibly not since August. But nfldraftscout ranks him as RB #44 out of 182 RB prospects. That suggests he would be undrafted if he went pro this year.
Appears the last entry was in August, which would be consistent with that ranking.
What would staying one more year gain him? Seriously.
He’s a 4th rounder now, he most likely will be a 4th rounder next year.
Hey CD, would you drop me a line at pakfanistan at gmail dot com
I have a goofy question for you.
