DC2345 Posted October 6, 2020 Report Share Posted October 6, 2020 All this scholarship talk is interesting Colson wasn't going to play both unless something crazy happens. That would be a major risk to him as a baseball player and his development. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was drafted out of high school and played college basketball while playing minor league baseball for a couple of seasons. Danny Ainge says hello.

Garrett played minor league baseball and college basketball. Playing minor league baseball and college basketball would almost be easier than college baseball and college basketball based on the way the seasons line up. It's hard to do especially for a position player and that's my point with Montgomery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention do you think a college baseball coach would want a kid to miss 2 months of the season because the basketball team made the NCAA tournament. That's the problem. College baseball starts in February. Not to mention you miss a ton of practice time trying to play basketball. It's much more possible if you are a bullpen pitcher than a position player. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not too many pass that up. Yes, it can be. He's not projected to go in the first 3 rounds. That said can his draft stock go up? Of course but it might not if there are already rumors he won't sign. That happens every year were guys fall in the draft or don't get picked at all because they are set on going to school. Look at Jack Leiter at Vanderbilt as an example of that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's to prevent schools from loading their football or basketball teams with scholarship "walk ons." If they play football, they receive a football scholarship or no scholarship. If they play basketball, they receive a basketball scholarship or no scholarship unless they have a football scholarship. There's few other sports that are affected by the rule. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NCAA_Division_I#Rules_for_multi-sport_athletes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
go_iu_bb Posted November 4, 2020 Report Share Posted November 4, 2020 So he would be able to play basketball and baseball (assuming the coaches were all okay with that) but couldn't do so on a baseball scholarship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I truly thought that if he has a baseball scholarship he could walk on the basketball team. Seems odd not to be allowed. I think he should do it, but odd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rule makes sense if its a low level sport just trying to find a place for a great basketball player without losing a scholarship but baseball is so limited on the number they have to begin with. Can't imagine any coach sacrificing 1 to help basketball. I'm sure it has happened hence the reason for the rule. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
