Forgive my stupid Canadian question, but if a guy declares, doesn't sign with an agent and isn't drafted, can he go back to school for another year and try again?

Pretty sure there is a specific application required to declare and there should be a deadline to withdraw, and that's above and beyond agent issues. If I remember right, it is possible to declare/withdraw without an agent, but it wouldn't make sense to withdraw once you've hired one because you are NCAA ineligible. Here's a link to the 2005 NFL calendar where the entry deadline was the 15th and the deadline to withdraw an application was Jan 19th.http://www.gbnreport.com/footballcalendar.html
Correct. This guy won't be drafted (and shouldn't). He's a bit more athletic than Orton, has decent arm strength, but his accuracy and leadership are sub-par. He might get a practice squad gig and hope to continue developing. He really never had the full attention of the Boiler coaching staff, so who knows, maybe he's got more raw ability than has been shown.
The combine is by invitation only, with the vast majority (approx 80%) going to Seniors. Based on what's been posted about this guy so far, I highly doubt he gets one of the underclassmen spots.
There was an article on scout.com that talked a little about why the influx of underclassmen declaring. Supposedly, there is a rumor out there that owners will be voting on a rookie salary cap figure or something. I kind of skimmed over it, but will see if I can find it again.
