Do you have a link to that rule? I've never heard that before.
That's weak.
Ok, first off Bubba Starling is not going to get drafted #1 overall. Rice 3B Anthony Rendon is going to be the likely first pick. Scouts say that if he would have came out last year, he would have been #1 overall ahead of Bryce Harper, the 17 year old C.

Also, Pat White former West Virginia QB was drafted in the fourth round out of high school and was offered a six figure signing bonus. He turned that down and his college career was a very good one. He is now out of the NFL and just signed with the Royals. So it's not a lock he goes if he is drafted.
As for Bubba, most experts say that the draft is going to be an incredibly deep draft. So if the Royals don't draft him in their spot (which is important, because Dayton Moore has said he wants to lock up the local kids and make sure a Albert Pujols/Ian Kinsler type local player doens't escape KC again) than he could fall to the secon round. I have seen drafts have him anywhere from #14 overall to the 2nd round. Him being at NE enrolled and going through spring practice, may deter some teams from taking him because he is already in college practicing football. If he isn't in school than I think that makes him more apt to get drafted higher.
All in all, i think it's way to early and ignorant to discuss and speculate this and what intentions that this student has. Either decision he makes will be a life changer and only he knows what he wants to do. I will support him 100%.

Good points.
Thanks for the info...
I noticed that is says that it "will count as one year of varsity competition in that sport. Does that mean that it only counts for baseball? Or does that automatically set the 5 year clock in motion?
It seems kind of crappy that a kid that wants to give professional sports a shot would be denied the experience of playing another college sport later in life.
Good catch. Removed too many tags.

But, it gets his post count up, keeps his "name" on the front page where he loves to see it, and generates more responses which gives him the attention he craves. After all, that's the whole point, right?
i didn't mention him because that's an exception. as noted (check the list), two players chose not to sign and not due to anything physical.
ok, i didnt read all 3 pages to this thread so if someone already said this then i apologize. do you think the coaching staff would recruit this kid, waste a scholy on him if he was not saying he was gonna play football. i think bo is up forward enough to say if you are not 100% sure of not playing baseball then we will recruit you. if not then i see us backing off and giving his scholy he was gonna use to someone else.
I love the way HISD posts this as if he were the first one to consider the possibility. There are a dozen threads about what Starling may or may not do. Its almost like he wakes up and knows he has to do something....just can't figure out what. So he posts. Why don't you take a wiz like the rest of us and save the board the clutter.
The only diffference is the other posters know there is a recruiting board.
I read that too and right now I can't find the other link that stated his 5 year clock started at 21 if playing a pro sport in a different sport. It's new going into the 2011 football season, I'll have to dig around more when I have time. Stupid work keeps interfering with the important stuff.
