Probably - his Cardinals team isn't real good. Mediocre in the Big East is not going to cut it.

While I wont discount the possibility of him leaving, saying its because the cardinals are mediocre isn't the reasoning. It is a tough case to make when the cardinals have been one of the best ten or so teams in the country more often than not at the end of the past 5 seasons - hes also got a potential number 1 recruiting class lined up for 2011. I know I know, things change right up until people sign, and sometimes even after that, etc. etc. and I said i wont discount the chance of him going to the pros, but it would be about money and trying to fix the blotch on his legacy more than 'long term mediocrity' of the cardinals in the big east.
