Burns re-considering? From Tony Basilio

[Savannahbayvol]

WHAT ABOUT BURNS?

Rumors are as rampant as the July humidity on the Nashville righthander. There has been little or no information lately on his possible college landing spots, but lots of speculation he might have had second thoughts on exiting the Tennessee program. Insiders have been saying for weeks that Burns has had the wrong people in his ear for the past year and we're not talking about his dad. The same thing might have happened with Chase Dollander.

So if he does decide to come back does TV welcome him with open arms?

Absolutely Yes.

 

[Vol_sanity]

Ok, I could get on board with this

 

[TheMookieMonster]

I would love to have Chase back. But as long as he doesn’t go to LSU or Vandy then I’m mostly fine if he decides he needs new scenery. I couldn’t stomach him going to either place.

Curious on the Dollander piece. I know they have the same agent/advisor, but was that advisor trying to get Chase Dollander to transfer, last year? What is that referencing?

Please let this be true!!!

Just like he would be a fool to leave this team that CTV is building, we would be a fool not to welcome him back with open arms.

 

[youcancallmeAl]

If Tony and the players judge him to be a locker room problem, I don't want him back. But if they want him back, then I do, too.

If by chance he does come back , this team would be preseason #1 no doubt. Good luck to the kid if he leaves outside the conference.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Adding Hollman and Keeping Burns would make this team unequivocally the #1 team entering next season. I won’t get my hopes up, as I fully expect Burns to head to LSU, but it’s a nice thought on a summer Friday.

It's not like Basilio has any real contacts who would have actual inside info here. Not going to put much stock in this "rumor" at this point.

Would be a moran not to

If you’re talking about Basketball/Football, I tend to agree. I think he normally just throws stuff against the wall there to see what sticks and uses context clues and message boards rumors to “report.”

But, Basilio does seem to be pretty close with Tony and I think he is more plugged in with the baseball program than any of our other programs on campus. It wouldn’t surprise me if he had info about baseball related news.

Wait, Dolander is transferring, too? How did I miss that? Or did I misread that?

Dollander is going to the draft. I believe Basilio is implying that last off-season there was some internal drama with Dollander we were not privy to until now. Dollander and Burns have the same agent.

 

[Jax_Vol]

Probably 150,000 reasons why he will be the LSU Friday night man.

Best of luck to Dolly in the draft....still think when all is said and done, he is the # 8-12 range pick.

 

[cwbytruckers]

Im just curious if he does leave is the SEC slate set for next year or is that something we still have to wait and see? If im Burns i wouldn't want to go to LSU and then have to pitch in Knoxville next season.

 

[CAVPUT]

Please let this be true!!!

OP attributes it to Basillyo. Even a blind hog finds a nut but I'd temper my enthusiasm with anything "breaking" from that guy.

 

[VolMarine1371]

If it means keeping him away from LSU and Vandy, absolutely.

Who is their agent so we can go and kick his a$$

Catch him at Waffle House and call in the Dugout.
