Parrott Blog: Running thread on UL's recruiting

[ManAboutTown]

_ Miami (Fla.) recently tried to get him to turn. The Hurricanes signed one of his Kilgore teammates, TE Chase Ford. _

JP, whats the latest on Bates, and Hollingsworth?

My blog with an update on Blake Hollingsworth:

With LSU landing some big last minute recruits, maybe there's a possibility they'd only be able to give Bates a greyshirt.

Thus changing things..? I know it's not gonna happen, but still.

Just read this on tiger droppings!!!!

So now that Ferguson is on board does Bates jump ship? (Posted on 2/3/10 at 11:19 a.m. to truthbetold)

Should a parent make their child's at this age?
Not sure I could do that to my son if he wanted to make a different decision. It is his life.
Bottom line is that all of this stuff could be rumors.
I can confirm that a member of his HS team did say that he wanted to attend ULL for better playing time opportunity. And the kids talk all the time.

This is why I am so glad about our site and the running updates. ESPN is so behind......

Getting our hopes up on this is probably not good. Could we conceivably sign him even if we wanted to? Are we over the limit scholarship wise?

[Parrott]

It was my understanding that Bates was told by LSU coaches that he would grayshirt a few weeks ago. He has not responded to my attempts to reach him.

Well they do have to cover all 100+ D1 teams along with 1-AA as well. I dont blame them for worrying about the BCS programs first.

[Parrott]

If Jarad Martin, Christopher Tucker and Aaron Thibodeaux sign as expected, the Cajuns would be at 25 scholarships. That's the maximum allowed in one recruiting class.

[Trigger74]

Just found this on Scouts, Inc.

They have us at 105 with 22 commitments. Thought we would be higher. Time will tell.
