AUfanLCDR 0 Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Yeh, it's once in a blue moon to see anyone playing two major sports in college. Bo did it here and in the pros but again, once in a blue moon and coaches NEVER like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boodaddy 0 Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 To be completely honest, I'm not sure I really want us going after Winston, at least not unless we sign another QB, because of his MLB status. He'd have to be crazy not to take the likely 3-5 million guaranteed he'd get if drafted in the first round (which he'd be able to negotiate even on the lower end of the first round because of the prospect of playing college football being a huge selling point, like Jeff Francoeur did when he turned down Clemson to play for the Braves). Don't get me wrong, he's an outstanding QB prospect, and it makes me drool to think about what he could do in our offense, but I just don't see him playing college ball unless he goes to the MLB and somehow doesn't pan out. Seems like LSU had a QB like that a few years back, but for the life of me I can't remember his name. 1 of the Booty boys from Shreveport signed w/LSU then signed a contract w/the Marlins & couldn't make it past AA. He wound up back at lsu I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aubearcat 2,137 Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 I think if he kid doesn't play pro baseball he plays in Tuscaloosa. wrong. Coral Gables or Oklahoma. Winston wants to be a pediatrist and he is leaning to UM and OU with the turds a distant third. But as I stated a long time ago, he won't be at an in-state school.

That was before the coaching change though. I was told that his family, especially his grandfather, has a history of foot problems so he wants to study in that field and Miami is one of the top schools in the country in that field.

My opinion of him just went up even higher. That's pretty danged impressive, to have a plan like that at his age...though I feel like it's pretty likely he'll go the MLB route.

That's pretty danged impressive, to have a plan like that at his age...though I feel like it's pretty likely he'll go the MLB route. yeah, he's a pretty good kid from what I know of him. Gets the ego going at times but a that age and having so many people telling you how great you are it's understandable. I think with AU he just wants us to want him. He likens himself to a Cam but he is far too lanky to be a Cam. He'd have to put on 50lbs or so. Plus for what ever reason, he doesn't seem to have that aggression when he breaks the pocket and runs. You know like when a runner sees a backer or what ever and decides "I'm going to punish him instead of the other way around." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackson-Sullivan 0 Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Just a little FYI. Winston is scheduled to make a visit to Auburn this weekend with his parents. We are really coming on strong with him of late. Of course there's always that distinct possibility that he'll decide to take his chances in the MLB Draft, though.

amyjones17 0 Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 I'm just wondering if we would take a commitment from only him at QB when there's such a good chance he'll go for professional baseball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUND73 0 Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 watch out for LSU Or FSU. Regardless, I believe that he will forego college in lieu of MLB. close call to say but he will never play more then a year of both at best. He is a very impressive young man and our coaches knew that but they also knew his future was not in college football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought in Baseball the rule is if you go to college you can not be eligible for the draft til after your junior season or 3 years removed from high school if you do not go pro out of high school..
