Ealy is playing baseball. Other than stealing his stars, there’s not a lot to hope for there.
Why is this fact so hard, for so many to understand ?
Because Ealy himself has said he isn’t t 100% sure.
With OM hiring rich rod, are they now recruiting plumlee as a qb?
Because that's what he's got to say. If he said I'm all in on baseball, his position in bargaining would be a little worse. He's a first round pick and he's gone. He's got MLB in his family and they know how to handle it. He's told people baseball is what he enjoys most.Quote:

Why is it so hard for people to understand that it's worth the risk to sign him and you do it 100 times out of 100 for a guy of his caliber?Quote:

Nobody is saying not to sign him. We won't though unless it's after the draft.Quote:

I hope we get them all...Malik Heath, WR Kundarrius Taylor (Okla signee out of HS), DE Jordan Davis (Bama signee out of HS)
There is another out of state DE type that I cannot recall at the moment.
Uhhhhhhh, wow.Quote:

Minor League ball is a different kind of challenge in and of itself. Missing out on the college experience may be a big factor in his decision especially if money isn't a huge issue.
I am all for signing him just don't think he plays football as an RB in the SEC if he is a 1st rounder.
Lincoln Riley just landed 5-star wr from Georgia. Riley adds him to 5-star wr, 5-star qb, 97 rated wr, and 96 rated te. Oklahoma offense bout to be unstoppable
Wasn't it already unstoppable?Quote:

Bama stopped them the 1st quarter. Last year, Oklahoma class was defense at top. This year it is elite offensive heavy. If Riley makes a good defensive hire, they may make it to championship game next yearQuote:

I can't figure out why he would come back next year. My only reasoning is that there is no way the NFL team that takes him would also allow him to play baseball & thus he would lose about half of money from Oakland, but, if he stayed at Oklahoma for one more season, he could play for the A's for one season, keep all of his baseball money, & then go full-time to the NFL.Quote:

If he is a top 20 pick in the NFL draft is a minimum of 10 million guaranteed as the floor of a rookie contract. The 3.5 million is nice, but you are on a rookie contract for several years even assuming you make it to the majors, the odds are that the signing bonus is the most money you make in your entire MLB career. Hitting 87 mph sliders is hard.Quote:

Also, as I understand it, most signing bonuses in MLB are structured in such a way that you have to play in the minors to keep it, that its not like you can play 2 seasons in MILB, decide its not for you and go play football and keep the 3.5 million, but someone more versed in baseball can correct me.
I think coming back for his senior season gives him the most options to make the most long term money. That is unless of course some team in the top 5 of the NFL draft made some type of guarantee (Which I don't believe happens) then go pro.
Maybe. I'm just not sure he can get anything more from a football standpoint by going back to OU. His stock is at an all time high right now in a weak QB class.Quote:

Can we take the Oklahoma talk to a different thread please? Not only does it have nothing to do with MSU recruiting, has nothing to do with MSU.
About every 10 posts we go down the rabbit hole.Quote:

He has plans to play football at the next levelQuote:
