Good for him. Won't mean anything to us until he hires an agent though.

I don't think anyone is fretting. I hope he does well. Are you saying do not fret because you think he will do badly or something so that he will come back to SMU?

I think he's assuming that people on ponyfans seeing the words "Semi" and "draft" in the same sentence will go into such a panic that they will crash the internet shortly before jumping off the nearest high ledge.

Will all of these new people who are entering the draft in the past day or two help us in regards to Semi? Any chance it pushes him down the draft board several places?

I don't think some of these Draft boards have included enough Euros based upon past years

Potentially so.

Mock drafts are fun, but they are never really accurate outside of the top 10 or so. And even there sometimes there are shocks. Team evaluate and value things in their own way. Mock drafts are good for giving you a "range" you will likely fall in. For Semi it's about 25-45. And well pointed out by Stallion Euro's get drafted a lot for potential, but also to stash away over there to save a roster spot.

Look at draft express a team drafting at 28 could really like Motley (35) Jordan Bell (37), Devin Robinson (34), Josh Hart (40), Monte Morris(43) or Cameron Oliver (46). I've seen all of them in other mock drafts in the first round.

It's gonna depend on how Semi measures and performs at the combine and teams needs/who they think fits best, but by no means is he a lock first round grade in this draft.

Edit: Removed like so you could concentrate Berger.

Heard from a source close to the program that there is a strong belief that Semi is leaving.
