Re: Byron Eaton & Gary Flowers

[mark_inzetta]

Since college (even high school) athletes train almost all year round I see why some coaches don't want to extend an offer to a 2 sport athlete. In this case how can we be sure that Dantonio is the issue? It is possible the Huggins is the one who doesn't want the athletes attention divided between two sports. With James White I would imagine that Track may not interfere with hoops as much as football due to the time of the season it is.

I'd love to know why UC is telling him basketball
only, I've never heard of them restricting a player
from playing 2 sports. James White ran track this year
and Huggs early in his career used walk-on football
players.

Maybe they just need to get Coach Dantonio to get on
the phone and call Eaton and tell him he's interested
in him for football too.
