The only question I have had is do we sign 2 or 3 WR's in '09. It was never about whether Hood took the MLB route.

I'm thinking 2 right now, but if Bolton and/or Ray don't come in, I'd likely bump it to 3.

Agreed, for the same reason you are thinking. There's still the question of Ray qualifying the last time I checked...that brings a perspective in the this question that even if he's a late pick he'll take that route.

Damn, come to think of it, I can't tell you the last time I looked to see where he was academic wise. You?

I have no idea, but I figure it is iffy at best. I'm not sure he has as good of a chance at say Matchett, but I could be wrong.

I believe Destin's father said he wanted Destin to at least get paid like a first round pick (at least $1 mill) if they wanted him to play right now. We will see shortly, I guess, what Washington is willing to pay him.

Considering where he was picked, it is unlikely that he'll get $1meg. Somewhere around half that seems to be the going rate.

He'll probably get between 500k and 750k. He can always come back and play football in a few years if he doesn't like where his baseball career is taking him.

Either way, best of luck to Mr. Hood.

In the last few years we've seen QB's (FSU had one) come back and play football...have we seen a WR do so? If so, who? (as in do well)

To be honest, I can't really think of one. I'll do some digging and see what I find.

I'm pretty sure a UT WR from a few years ago had played MiLB ball. Washington I think was his name. Alabama also had a walk on WR that had played baseball 2 or 3 years ago, he never saw the field and eventually left the team, but he was here for a season or two. I can't remember his name though. Damien Jones maybe?

I remembered the walk-on here, but couldn't think of one that actually contributed.

I remember Washington...IF he's the same guy that was running his mouth all the time. Gave himself his own nickname? I recall this guy and the QB getting into that year as well.
