  I really hope Randall Cobb's name isn't on this list. I'm wondering how much will change once the NFL season ends and we hear more about the lockout.

  Vidal Hazelton isn't leaving early, he's out of eligibility.
• dave

  Jonathan Baldwin for Pitt
  
  Hazelton would have got a 6th year for sure if he wanted to come back.

  he could have petitioned for another year due to injury, but he says he isn't going to do that

  Hazelton would not have gotten the 6th year, He was going to try and get it and wanted to come back next year for Cincy. He was advised by UC to go to the draft because they were positive he wouldn't get the 6th year. If UC said he wouldn't get it, then he wouldn't get it. We really wanted him to come back next year. I've read pretty much every article available to this situation and follow him on twitter haha.

  I wouldn't either playing on that crap team. Too bad he doesn't have much value in terms of NFL stock.

  That is surprising. I think he will be a solid NFL back though.

  Yep they announced it yesterday on the news here in DC. I was definitely shocked by the news they thought Evans or Williams would go but not both.

  Yeah I was actually shocked at their dropoff under Butch Jones. I thought the cupboard was pretty full and I also thought he was a good coach
• karen lotz

  

  Jacquizz Rodgers of Oregon State has declared for the draft.
• karen lotz

  

  Dion Lewis from Pitt joins Baldwin in the draft.
  
  
  There are also reports coming out that Michael Floyd will announce he is entering the draft tomorrow.
• charliehustle14

  I thought Dion was a true sophomore? I know he was in Pitt's 2009 recruiting class.
