Every year some players opt to go the college route instead of signing. I've listed 29 names that could make that decision and be eligible in 2015 or 2014 where listed. The % chance is based on what I have heard or how other players have decided. I have no personal insight on this with any player, just my hypothesis and a short reason why I feel that way.
