How can he say he's going pro when no one has drafted him (yet)? Was Scott Rolen a liar when he committed to Georgia to play basketball and ended up going pro in baseball? I'm done with this conversation. If Colson plays at IU, terrific. Good for everyone. Great for IUBB. I dont see it happening, assuming he doesn't have a dip in production.

Who or what kind of source exactly are you hearing your information from? Summer of 2014. Wife and decided to rent a place at Eagle Pointe (near Bloomington/Lake Monroe) for the summer. I was always amazed at the star/fire power that existed between bar at clubhouse and bar called Fairfax before you enter Four Winds. Not just the Rolen family....but several, several others who call Monroe County home. I bring this up only to say the following. There are some very, very dialed in folks that post on here. I'd believe specific information like this far times more than not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only people I could see thinking that are locals at Southridge that don't understand the overlap issue. I can see why Tracy Smith, Michael Earley, and Bobby Hurley tried it. I could see a pitcher try and pull it off but a SS is a whole different story. Edited October 5, 2020 by DC2345 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Hillman did it, but I think the seasons were different back then and baseball started later. Plus, Hillman was not a potential 1st round pick in the MLB draft either. Just could not see Montgomery being on the basketball team during March when the baseball season has already ramped up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I DO NOT want Montgomery playing basketball at IU. And that tweet "could" play.... yeah I mean, he could? As in will he be good enough? Yeah he is easily good enough to be a walk on on the basketball team. Easily. He does not need to play though.

I'm not positive and might be wrong but I don't think he could walk-on to the basketball team and then have scholarship for baseball. I think he would be required to have a basketball scholarship or no scholarship at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't heard anything like what you're saying before. The only thing that comes to mind is a player can't walk on to the basketball team and then receive an academic scholarship as a workaround to the scholarship limit if they were ever recruited to play bball. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't get an extra scholarship player by giving them a full (or even partial) ride in rowing, for example. The single exception being a football player who also plays basketball, since that counts only against football.

So it counts against the football team but doesn't prevent them from playing basketball because its been done numerous times. As for Colson, since its baseball I see what you're saying and that makes it sound like he can't play basketball unless he goes to school on his own dime or gets a basketball scholarship (not happening). Another dumb NCAA rule that works against kids instead of for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
