I've read draft analysis that project him as a first rounder/Pro Bowl caliber pick. Top graded lineman in the draft.
The guy came here as a walk-on and was outstanding for us. If going to play for Notre Dame helps his draft stock even a little (taking away the "who he played" excuse) that's great for him and a,smart decision on his part. It could be worth $10 million over the course of his career.
Would you have been more happy if he just declared for the draft after last year? Either way, he wouldn't be here. I reserve my ill will for players like Obi who come here because someone else screwed them, we give them the chance to shine and then they bolt and are never heard from again. Or guys who prop here and then bolt before ever getting on the field.
