Looks like he's coming back....You would think most of these decisions would be coming soon with conditioning starting up again in the next couple of weeks.

The mock drafts I've checked haven't listed any of our guys in the top 4 rounds for the 2021 draft..., so it might be in their best interest for All of them to come back... That would give them an extra year to train for the 2022 Combine and another 14 games (counting the Big Ten Championship game and the Bowl game) to prove themselves worthy of the top 2 rounds on the field... Could turn out be a Win, Win, Win, and Win for all concerned..., and perhaps result in the most INDIANA players ever taken in the draft...
 
I’m for allowing Anyone who wishes to come back to do so. But kind of quietly hope a few move on so as to allow depth to move up. Ex: I appreciate Nworah, but if he didn’t really dominate as a Sr, shouldn’t we look to develop now those coming up, especially with Carpenter coming in? And the big FR OL we lost to ACL in camp, who Had think is also a potential starter. We could theoretically have one of our best lines in awhile next year from at least the starting five perspective.

I'm with ya, but when it comes to guys who were scheduled to exhaust their eligibility this season it's a pure mulligan since they won't count against scholarship limits next year and they'll leave then without affected numbers.

Some will move on because they're done with school, don't have a real interest in grad school, & are ready to hang 'em up. Others will stick around and could get surpassed on the depth chart, if they're cool with that then God bless them for sticking it out.

As for Swann, he's like the best of both worlds. Solid player in his first year in the program and I think he's legit working toward a master's degree. So we get the benefit of his talents, he gets another year of grad school paid for, and he gets to enjoy playing football while doing it.
