Players can't leave after one or two years for the NFL. You can look it up. Freeman, a junior, very likely will leave even after his lousy season because of the risk factor of playing another year in college, but he'll have lots of explaining to do at the combine in March. Unless Herbert redshirts or transfers, neither of which will happen with no competition behind him, he'll be here as a junior, too.

In comparison with most other teams that have enjoyed similar success the past decade or so, Oregon loses very few players to early entry. Even Mariota was here for four years. The Ducks have put more emphasis on graduate and juco transfers in recent years to prop up subpar recruiting classes. That's what should concern you. Nice rant, though.
