'14 FL LB Dillon Bates (UT Signee 2/5/14)

[DownTheField]

The story with J Winston when he committed to FSU was that the ACC allowed a player to sign a MLB contract, receive money, and play summer while still being eligible in the fall for football. But he would not have been able to do the same in the SEC.

Just wondering, I have seen more of the old gang tonight than i have saw in months....I'm still here, refuse to run ha ha

I hope Butch turns this thing, bates would be another brick and will prob pull several more with him

I started believing in Butch after the Hurd and Kelly commits..If he can get Bates, then my believing will be turned up a notch or 20.:yes:

We went from a future Vol to a current Gator.

WTF!!

 

[VolFreakJosh]

Is it just me or does Barker not look that good?

 

[Ned Ray McWorkher]

How does this work? MLB draft can be pretty confusing. I know guys come back all the time from being drafted, but I can't recall from being signed (granted I don't follow MLB draft much at all).

How does him signed to play professional baseball (albeit, likely minor league) not make him forego his collegiate amateurism?

Does the baseball career have to be over, like Kelley Washington or Weinke from FSU? Confusing & complicated.

 

[Vol8188]

As long as he keeps amateur status in football, he can sign and receive benefits from mlb team while playing college football.

So we can sign Lebron as a TE? Too bad Helms is the $hit.

 

[TideWarrior]

Get the hell outta here. We don't need any Bama b.s. right now......

Why Bates is all Vol and UA has been out of the picture for him since the middle of April if not long before that.

 

[Coastypop]

It's almost time.

the word is soon

Im just messing with you T.W. You're good brother.

 

[secking]

Who is Florida's back up again?

He can sign and still play football

 

[colvol]

You gotta understand man. The QB has 4 seconds to throw and it's 6 WR vs 7 DB/LB. Also the whole defense knows what's coming, not exactly the easiest task.

 

[Cyclopskiller]

This are sum bullship

 

[V-O-L-S]

Why are we talking about Driskel?

 

[TideWarrior]

Driskel is still eligible.

As long as he does not take the money. He basically has signed a contract for a period of time stating if he opts out of football for baseball it has to be with the Red Sox.

 

[Dudleys87]

Hes going to Kentucky. No reason to peak to soon.

I'll believe it when I see it.
Thanks

I dont think anyone hear cares what you have to say...

Screw you ESPN, screw you.

They are trying to get the sure-fire ratings by stringing along the VOLS fans.

Kelly and Bates should be vols. Hurd is the big catch.

 

[smokeyhuntsgators]

Is that a baby sloth?

So cute!

 

[NapTownVol9]

So who is this dingy saying Bates has been to Bama three times recently? Somebody trolling or what
