Nope Bear used to stash players on all sorts of different spots scholarships. NCAA cleaned that up years ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Joey gone yes they can & likely will even if it's a transfer later in the process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The school. He should be locked in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because he plays baseball you could get him and he could still play football using the baseball scholarship. Would have to develop him as a person also. That's the reason AU moved away from him early in the class. A lot of negative vibes on him in the Hoover area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No kid is playing football & baseball on baseball scholarship. This is correct. Any 2 sport students playing football has to count to the football 85 & 25 limits.

No. If a student athlete is on a scholly playing football he might as well get the football full ride since that's how the NCAA counts it anyway. The athlete can then play baseball without having to take up any of the baseball's 11.7 schollies that have to be divided up between roughly 30 players.

I know he has some bad attitude problems and looks like he doesn't care a lot but he is the #1 qb for a reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn't an EASports video game where you simply take the highest rated players you can. This is real life where things like personality have to fit with the program as well.

autan 737 Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 I have no doubts that AU could flip Ashford right now if they put the full court press on him. I'm probably wrong but I just don't think he is the right fit our our team. There are other talented QBs out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand why he would want to go play for Riley over Gus lol. But it still HURTS! I'm with you here. Fuggin sucks that we'll lose out on another elite kid who grew up All Auburn.

I thought Chandler was training to be a Heisman finalist for Sooners. Seriously though it's hard to understand a low 4* choosing to compete with two 5* QBs (Rattler and Vandagriff). I'm sure CM would get good coaching from Riley and his staff but it would have to be a long shot to put that coaching in action on the field.

I can't speak for Chandler....but when I was 18....if My dad had been a college coach....NO WAY IN HELL would I be going to play for him in college. I love my Dad and was very thankful to have him as a coach when I was a young kid....but I don't think I could have done it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
