To play the optimism card on Victor/Bierria... ILBs aren't a hot commodity in the NFL draft at all. Most all of them stay through their senior years, including the elite 1st round talent guys. Ryan Shazier and Benardrick McKinney were the only 2 in the last 3 years to declare a year early and actually get drafted in the top 2 rounds. I lean towards thinking they both stay.
Everybody needs to pump the brakes a bit on guys leaving and let it play out ... there's a lot of guys throughout the country that will be facing similar decisions and trying to figure out where everybody slots is a key consideration ... there is a fine line between leaving early and getting drafted at the right spot.
I think Jones is likely to leave ... Budda probably likely ... but it wouldn't shock me if he stayed if there was some unfinished business here.

I actually think Ross is the most important, he's hands down our best player IMO. After that we need at least 2/3 DTs to stay, then Victor
Disagree. I love me some Two Wins, but Pettis's resurgence this year coupled with McClatcher's emergence and the fact we can no recruit receivers leaves me pretty optimistic for the position next year. Obviously we'll miss Ross, but I think Browning will have even more weapons than he does now (if none quite as elite as Ross). The offense should be awesome next year.
As far as the DT's Vea and Gaines are sophomores so I'd be shocked if they leave. Qualls is probably 50-50. I think we'll be fine there.
Victor is probably gone.
O should be good next year with at least one of the freshman receivers playing, but Ross is such a special player that I do think they'll miss him over the first six games.

More unrelated than bashing the kid but I've never understood this pull that usc and to a lesser extent ucla have always had that gets them this amazing recruiting talent from not just LA but nationwide. Outside of Pete Carroll no one has won consistently at either school for 30 years. Maybe it's because I don't really like la, but if i were a recruit I'd much rather go play real football at an sec school or Clemson or fsu or Ohio state or something. I get the weather and holywood is a factor but I've just never understood it.

We don't know who will or won't go until they say so ... some have educational goals ... some have team goals ... some have personal goals ... some have developmental goals
That's all I'm saying ...
But as I said, if I'm betting I'd say Budda leaving is more likely than not
