Clarett was definitely overstated. In the four biggest games 2 seasons ago against the big tough opponents, he failed to produce. He ran big against the Northwestern defense but Iowa shut him down.
I don't think we need to worry about the NFL going the way of the NBA because it is not the NBA. The only high school players that could play in the NFL would have to be genetic freaks (not counting kickers). I highly doubt many NFL teams would be interested in any HS kid even if he was a phenom. Far to risky. And why risk it when you can get someone that has proven themselves for at least three years in a college program.
While I don't like the ruling, I'm not at all worried about it either.
