Yes he is a great talent .... But please dont make a Tori Gurley mistake and go early... Im a fan of the having to play all 4... Look at some of those guys that are a 4th year guy and it seems like the light just comes on... Example if Melvin Ingram would have left after his junior year he probably would have been an undrafted free agent... but that senior year he played... like i said ... The light came on and he played like a first rounder... Very few kids make it when leaving early.. if they do .. its a few years to grow into an NFL talent

He's just a RS Soph. He has 2 more years if he wants them. Although it does sound like he's ready to help his family. I think he needs atleast 1 more year. I don't even know if he would be above a 6th round pick at this point

Victory and Demario look like they could be brothers

I don't want to go into any player's personal life, but don't you think it would be in his best interest to stay? I mean you'd think his family would encourage him to stick it out at least one more year. It could make all the difference in the world.

I am very pleased to see the maturation of Victor. We all know he has amazing talent. Looks like he's growing into quite a fine young man.

Coondog · 11-14-2012, 05:36 PM

Vic would be a fool to leave after this season. He could be the leader of our defensive backfield next year and really raise his stock into the first round. If he goes he will be lucky to get drafted on day 2.

Cockholio · 11-14-2012, 08:09 PM

Glad to hear positives about this man.

Best corner we've had in years.

Going in the first 4 rounds has no bearing when it comes to helping family..he will make plenty enough , even as a f.a., to float the family money..

Evilchicken2 · 11-15-2012, 08:01 AM

Well he better tackle better than he did against Ark if he wants to get drafted.

CWall2001 · 11-15-2012, 09:58 AM

My son with Victor after one of the games. He is one of our favorites out there. Love to watch him play. Last year after the Spring game he stayed outside of the locker room and signed autographs forever. Glad he's turned it around and hope he sticks around.

Have you been watching the same guy I have?

He's a solid player, but far from being the best corner we've had in years. I'm not even sure you can argue that he's the best corner on the team right now.

I'm not saying he's a abad player by any means, so don't take it like I'm slamming him personally..but I've seen him burnt on plays, out of position, or making weak tackle attempts way too many times this year, enough to overshadow the great plays he's made.

He's free to make his own decision, but I certainly hope the staff can convince him that he really needs another year to boost his stock. If he decides to declare for the draft, he might wind up burning himself badly.

gamecockjay · 11-15-2012, 10:16 AM

Chances of him staying are less than 10% imo. I have always thought he would go pro after this year given his background and family situation.

gamecocksfamilies · 11-15-2012, 04:12 PM

Victor will not leave for the draft..The thought did cross his mind if he had a ball-out year!!! He loves his family alot & his everyday thought is always about them...Trust me he comes back for another year!!! So proud of Vic and the man in which he is becoming
