Man, according to that article linked above, Cierre was rated the 16th best RB. I counted 22 RBs taken so far in the draft. Somebody show the man some love!

Feel bad for Cierre going undrafted. Bad advice to leave early. Best of luck Cierre. Gonna have to prove himself in someone's camp.

Hopefully the coaching staff can use this as an example to play out your college career if borderline decisions are being made. Hate to see this for Wood, but hopefully some good will come from it. Good luck Cierre.

I feel bad for Cierre. At least he got his degree. Kind of disappointing because the last two years we were fed the hype of how he was going to have a break out year(s), but it never happened. Good thing is, he'll be able to work with his agent and hopefully line up some tryouts with teams who have RB needs.

Wood will be on an NFL team before the season ends. There are way to many RB injuries in the NFL to keep him out of it.

A lot of good college players didn't get drafted. Chase Thomas from Stanford. Marlon Brown from GA (5star coming out). J fauria had a great finish at UCLA. The list goes on and on.

I'm pretty surprised he didn't get drafted. I like Theo's heart and attitude better, but I think Wood would be a better NFL back.

I think Cierre could be a poor man's Leshawn McCoy. Theo makes better decisions, has better cuts, and obviously better hands, but Cierre has a good NFL body.

Not suprised he didn't get drafted. Didn't do anything in college. Hardly played.

But good luck to him. After losing Forcett, he might get a look.

Pretty reckless to say a guy who ran for 2500 yds. over 3 seasons and avg. over 5yds./carry never did anything in college. His production slumped last year because of lack of PT but 750yds. Is pretty good as a backup and did avg. 6.5 yds/carry. He finished 8th on the all time ND rushing list ahead of names such as Ricky waters, Jerome bettis, Armando Allen, Ryan grant and Reggie brooks.

7th all-time in career rushing yards at Notre Dame.

5.4 career YPC is highest on the all-time rushing list of players ahead of him with more yards.

That's more career rushing yards than Tony Brooks, Ryan Grant, Lee Becton, Jermome Bettis, Rickey Watters, Reggie Brooks, etc.
