How does that work? He gone?

Double income at 18. He's doing well.

I dont think he's "gone" but it may be a strategy to delay.... For some reason.

Football in the fall, baseball in the Summer. I think Alford tried this.

To me, it's a bigger deal than some want to admit. It's not as critical since he's at WR compared to QB or CB, but it matters.

I'm sure it's agreed upon beforehand, but it's the Padres decision at this point, right?

Still don't understand why MLB teams agree to that. They're paying a full bonus for a part time player. Hard for the player to reach his potential in either sport.

How long does he stay at Ole Miss (who might be on probation) getting hit by Strong Safeties and LBs...before he realizes that getting paid big money and playing a light contact sport is where he belongs?

Honestly if I had those as options (even though I love football) I would be a baseball player in a heartbeat.

How long does Ole Miss have to match the offer?

I've known three guys who have tried this (one of whom went to Ole Miss). IMO, it's a disaster waiting to happen for the athlete. Baseball isn't something that you can just put down for 6 months and pick back up. All three guys I know have gotten burned out, and ended up dropping one or both sports, when they could've concentrated on one and had real pro potential.

It's a back up plan if Ole Miss gets hammered.

At least with the Padres, he doesn't have to beg to get his moms light bill paid.

I'd say this is especially true if you intend to play pro baseball.
