It’s my fear that if Percy Harvin and Gators have an outstanding 2008, that Harvin may bail out on his senior season and go to the NFL. And by all means, I wouldn’t blame him. If you’re slated to be a top draft pick (which he will be), how can you pass up millions of dollars in guaranteed money? You simply can’t do it.
So do you think Percy will go pro after the 2008 season? My personal observations tell me that he will leave if given the opportunity. He wouldn’t have anything to gain by coming back for a 4th year, like Andre Caldwell did. Caldwell was overshadowed in the National Championship game and really needed to come back for another year so he could be the spotlight receiver.
Well, next year, Harvin will be the go to guy. He will be the one everyone is watching. I hope it doesn’t happen, but I think he will leave early. What do you say?
The first time I saw Harvin run in his freshman year I knew he would only be in school for three years if he stayed healthy. I remember telling my brother, “he runs like Reggie Bush.” His talent level is patently obvious to even the casual observer. Fortunately the Gators have some talented people backing up ole Percy so the drop off shouldn’t be too great. There are very few Percy Harvins out there, however, so its really important to take advantage of his amazing ability while we can. The fortune of having Tebow and Harvin at the same time is incredible and anything less than a National Championship in 2008 will be dissapointing considering how phenomenal both Tebow and Harvin are.
I agree with Great Pacho. Harvin will only be at UF 3 years if he stays healthy, especially if they win a National Championship. If they win a NC we’ll see a mass exodus just like the 2006 team did.
