“I’m pretty sure I have a great chance of playing freshman year at any DB position,” he said.

He said he had developed “more of a relationship with the Tennessee coaches” than the other staffs that recruited him, simply because he “knew them longer” and got to “know more about them” after new Vols coach Jeremy Pruitt’s staff gave him his first major-conference football offer.

Flowers said he likes what he has seen and heard from “pretty much the whole staff” at Tennessee, including cornerbacks coach Terry Fair, safeties coach Charles Kelly and co-defensive coordinator Chris Rumph.

“They were pretty much the first school to start talking to me — well, first big school to start talking to me — so I’m pretty familiar with all of them,” Flowers said.

“I feel like Tennessee’s going to have some success. I mean, I feel it, and their background. I mean, everybody knows Coach Pruitt is pretty good. And the coaches along with him, they’re pretty good, too. Tennessee, they will be up.”

“Spending time with the players” at Tennessee, Flowers said, was among the highlights of his visit with the Vols.

“They’re really cool. They fit me,” said Flowers, who was hosted on the visit by freshman cornerback Shawn Shamburger and also spent plenty of time with freshman safety Theo Jackson. “They’re the type of people I like to be around.”

Flowers said he also met with first-year Tennessee baseball coach Tony Vitello’s staff last weekend, and the Vols’ football coaches have told him they “no doubt” approve of him playing both sports.

Despite his decision to play both football and baseball in college, Flowers said the Major League Baseball draft in June could affect his future in football. He said he hasn’t heard many projections on whether he’ll be drafted or, if he is drafted, when he might be picked. But he hasn’t ruled out a future in professional baseball if he’s chosen early.

“I’m leaning toward college more,” Flowers said.

Automatic takes every time: 1) Guys with dreads--especially skill position players. 2) Guys with the last name Flowers. Stars are irrelevant. Automatic 5*.

BOOOM

Someone can correct me if I am wrong but I thought they changed that rule to where the player had to be on a football scholarship initially.

Would be interested to know the rules on that. In the 90's ETSU offered me a football scholarship even though I was going to play baseball. I was going to play football as well, but baseball was the main thing. I didn't know there were restrictions on that stuff.

Dates back to Bear Bryant. Just say there were players on the golf team that couldn’t tee off.

15.5.9.1 Football. [FBS/FCS] In football, a counter who was recruited (per Bylaw 15.02.8) and/or offered financial aid to participate in football and who participates (practices or competes) in football and one or more sports (including basketball) shall be counted in football. A counter who was not recruited (per Bylaw 15.02.8) and/or offered financial aid to participate in football and who competes in football and one or more sports (including basketball) shall be counted in football.

Interesting that if not recruited he only counts if he competes (as opposed to practices if he was considered recruited).

15.02.8 Recruited Student-Athlete. For purposes of Bylaw 15, a recruited student-athlete is a student-athlete who, as a prospective student-athlete:

(a) Was provided an official visit to the institution's campus;

(b) Had an arranged, in-person, off-campus encounter with a member of the institution's coaching staff (including a coach's arranged, in-person, off-campus encounter with the prospective student-athlete or the prospective student-athlete's parents, relatives or legal guardians); or

(c) Was issued a National Letter of Intent or a written offer of athletically related financial aid by the institution for a regular academic term.
