BS.
He was still playing hard and just like usual up until the concussion at GA. Yes, it was a concussion...on top of spinal issues, a sore shoulder, a banged up hit, a tweaked ankle. Didn't fly to AM because he couldn't.
He has been banged up all year due to the hits he takes from the scheme.
His body began to give out and he is not even close to healthy now.
Do I agree he should leave? Porbably not. But he doesn't believe he is ready for the NFL. He believes he has learned zero under Butch and he wants to actually go somewhere to get ready for the NFL.
This may change. He may decide to declare but right now he feels he is not ready.
Tell him to go to an eye doctor and improve his vision and who knows, maybe the OL gave a little less effort at times for old JH. Not right but could happen. JK looked good against old SC. Thing is what you guys are spewing keeps hurting and not helping J. Butch can stay or go for all I care but he is the coach and JH is just a player. Got to know your place in the chain.
