? ? ? If he signs does he have to give back his "signing bonus" to UNM ? :)
The San Diego Padres drafted wide receiver and outfielder A.J. Brown in the 19th round. The true freshman has already enrolled at Ole Miss, where he plans to play baseball and football. If he signed with the Padres, he'd still be eligible to play football for the Rebels but not baseball. The four-star football signee was ranked the No. 5 wide receiver and No 38 player overall, according to 247Sports' Composite Rating.
He's going to ole miss. Nothing to see here.
They'll have to give him more than the $375,000 Ole Miss did
Who is AJ Brown??**
Now you are just being silly, it was only 250k.*Quote:

We need to quit showing this guy any attn. He's a known drama queen and attn hound.
He should play baseball since OM is about to get murdered by the NCAA. He can always come back to college and play WR if baseball doesn't work out. Plus, he would probably be more physically and mentally mature by then.
he only got a little to sign- the payments from Miller and crew don't start until he is on campus. If he can trick the Padres into giving him a decent bonus- you never know. But I think it's highly unlikelyQuote:
