"I have been waiting on that one," said Staley of his MSU offer. "They were the first school that said I could be able to play both sports. So I was pretty excited when I got the Mississippi State offer. My coach told me I needed to call Coach (Dan) Mullen so I did that and it was a good talk. He said they all liked my film and my size and arm. He said I was one of the top quarterbacks on their list and said they would be able to work with me with my footwork."
Mullen is giving Ray some better walk-ons then he can recruit.

Maybe operation "get in the game" is underway ... good point about recrutin for Ray ... Maybe Cohen as well with C. Sandberg

If he plays both sports I wonder which one eats the scholarship. Right now I would hope it would be a basketball scholarship to keep as many free for football as possible.

If you play football and have any athletic scholarship, it counts against your football scholarships.

6-6 is way too tall for quarterback at MSU. Has to be closer to 5-9***

You can blame ole miss for that**

Okay so really I just like linking this photo.

We WILL find the next Doug Flutie

Or Brett Favre.

If we get cord to campus, I'll love our qbs. It'll be the most talented group I've ever seen at state. Cord is far from done deal though.

I've always heard its because of Bear Bryant. He had a bunch of players on "swimming" scholarships that just happened to play football.

 

[JackShephard]

how many years in a row are we going to say this before it actually pans out?

 

[FISHDAWG]

I've looked into the MLB mock draft and didn't see him listed

maybe overlooked but I went through 3 rounds

Hate to wish bad on him, but I want him here.

How has this not been posted?

Staley is the half-brother of former Georgetown basketball standout Patrick Ewing Jr.

 

[Dawgdom]

So I assume that Pat Sr. is not the baby daddy? or is his name Elijah Ewing-Staley...

 

[notLBC]

I'm guessing he's not as well. I don't see how he could be Pat Ewing's son and they decided to refer to him as "Patrick Ewing Jr.'s brother."
