WR Monte Harrison

[gratefullred]

Bubba made the right call, he was a tippy-top draft pick and got ridiculous money. Remains to be seen where Harrison would get drafted and what he'd get. Could be he'd be better-off sticking with football while working-on raising his MLB draft status playing college baseball.

Khiry Cooper thinks that's great.

Interesting that most on here say take the money. How many of you would exchange your college education for 200K as a 18 or 19 yr old. The money would be gone in no time, if you don't make it to the show, that 200k seems really small. On the other hand 4 yr education and then play both sports and give yourself a chance to develop into a major league prospect or NFL draft pick, if not you still have the degree. Smart money takes the education. College grads sometimes have a difficult time finding gainful employment, imagine having just HS diploma.

From the way it sounds, he's not looking at 200k money.... I'd agree with you if so, but Bubba was looking at $4 or $5 million I think. Time will tell if Harrison has that kind of value....

Monte Harrison seems unaware that he's suddenly Khiry Cooper.

It also depends on what his true love is - he can be like Russell Wilson and completely just LOVE football and have baseball to fall back onto.

Apparently he's a baseball first kind of guy.

Well, he can both take the money AND get free ride for college. If he doesn't make it in baseball, he can come back and get a schollie to play footbal - the best of both worlds. That's why he should take the money.

It all depends on where he gets drafted and how much money he can make. If the amount isn't too big he may be better going to college and playing both sports. He could get better at both sports in college and he could then get more money either way he decides to go.

No rust on Harrison from focusing on baseball over the summer. He made 2 of the 4 TDs scored by Lee's Summit West in their opener last night.

 

He capped Lee’s Summit West’s opening drive with an 8-yard run out of a Wildcat package, then caught a 77-yard touchdown on the Titans’ next offensive play.

He had a punt return for a TD as well, but called back by penalty. All this in the first half.

[HuskerUnity]

Stud..I pray that he chooses to play college football and baseball for us

[Mavric]

Was apparently all over the field last week. Caught a TD, ran for a TD and threw a TD.

[Warrior10]

15 receptions for 192yards and 1TD...and ran for 2 more TD's. Opposing coach, "That kid is the best player I think I have coached against since I've been at Blue Springs. We tried everything against him. That kid is special".
