Read somewhere that there's a hierarchy for schollie offers. For instance, if there's a 'burner' who could run track or play football, or both, then the 'higher' scholarship (football), would have to absorb the kid. Else, Bama could recruit 100 kids to run track, and then somehow they'd end up suiting up for football as well. What the schollie hierarchy is, don't know for certain, but can safely assume that football is at the pinnacle, then maybe basketball (?), baseball (?), etc. Maybe sport income dictates. Anyway, not sure I've said this very well, but am pretty certain that he'd count against football, and not baseball.

Go Bucks! PS, please feel free to elucidate or say better than I've attempted.

Some of those low-trajectory shots looked like when Daryl Strawberry used to hit them just over the head of an infielder but they’d keep climbing until they hit the bleachers. The kind of rifle shot that leaves the park so fast half the fans miss it. The call usually sounds like, “3-0 count... looks the base runner back to first... shakes off the first sign... here’s the pitchandit’sgone...

There is. It's called Bylaw 15.5.9 of the NCAA Division I Manual.

Essentially, it says this: If a student-athlete is on scholarship for any sport and he plays football, then he counts as a football scholarship.

"Plays football" means competing OR practicing football.

If you are interested in the complete hierarchy of scholarship offers, here's a LINK (go to page 222)

The Rivals guy who broke the baseball visit story has now been refuted by Gleitman from The Scoop who says Malone is football first which is what made sense. Also today on Morning 5 BK says Hartline has the full court on Egbuka, JT recently had a Zoom with (couldn't hear clearly but I think he said ) Day , and he thinks Davis Jr. picks Ohio State. Also on Malone he said his decision is totally "up in the air" (not a reference to the line drives he was drilling in the batting cage). And Bucks still have an uphill battle with Burton, Spindler, and Leigh.

“He’s actually a pretty good baseball player who is interested in playing both sports,” the source began. “But he can be great football wise if he has the right guy teaching him. And he knows Larry Johnson is great at what he does. That gives Ohio State a chance. I know there are some people around him that feel like Johnson could get the best out of him and that definitely helps Ohio State.”

I feel like Tom Selek in Mr. Baseball when he sees Frank Thomas hit...

Funny enough out of those swings anyone else notice how he has such good hand eye coordination that he taps that ball that's rolling across his path with one poke? That's not easy to do and I don't think he was even looking.

If he's anything close to The Big Hurt he needs to stop playing football yesterday. Can you imagine the kind of $ Frank Thomas would be making today?

If you could be an HOFer in both, baseball is definitely the choice for money and health after retirement.

MLB's four largest contracts ever are all current ones:

1. Mike Trout, Angels: 10 years, $360 million (2021-30)
2. Bryce Harper, Phillies: 13 years, $330 million (2019-31)
3. Giancarlo Stanton, Marlins: 13 years, $325 million (2015-27)
4. Manny Machado, Padres: 10 years, $300 million (2019-28)

The fifth largest was Alex Rodriguez, who had a 10 year, $275 million contract for 2008-17. His total career earnings were just a few thousand short of $400M. Albert Pujols and Miguel Cabrera both made over $330M in their careers.

No NFL player has earned near $300M. The top ten earners of all-time:

1. Eli Manning: $252.3 million
2. Peyton Manning: $248.7 million
3. Drew Brees: $244.7 million
4. Tom Brady: $235.2 million
5. Aaron Rodgers: $233.6 million
6. Ben Roethlisberger: $232.3 million
7. Matt Ryan: $223.5 million
8. Philip Rivers: $218.9 million
9. Matthew Stafford: $211.0 million
10. Larry Fitzgerald: $175.0 million

Fitzgerald is the only non-QB on the list. Now, top-flight DTs do make good money. Here are the top ten highest paid DTs (current average annual salary):

1. Aaron Donald ($22,500,000)
2. DeForest Buckner ($21,000,000)
3. Fletcher Cox ($17,100,000)
4. Grady Jarrett ($17,000,000)
5. Geno Atkins ($16,300,000)
6. Chris Jones ($16,126,000)
7. D.J. Reader ($13,250,000)
8. Javon Hargrave ($13,000,000)
9. Sheldon Richardson ($12,333,333)
10. Akiem Hicks ($12,000,000)

Now, these DTs are in their prime right now...you can bet that Aaron Donald won't be making that $22.5M a year after his current contract ends in 2025 (at age 34). His career earnings at that time will be $142M.

Yessir Millani! NBA contracts make NFL contracts look stupid too. Why do you think Lebron didn't play football his senior season? Not to mention MLB & NBA contracts are fully guaranteed. He could break his back the day after signing his contract and he will be paid in full.
