Former Yankee draft pick to walk on as QB....

[CaneTime01]

I've been told by his high school coach that Garrison Lassiter will walk-on at Miami as a QB. Don't know anything about him as a football player. Graduated in 2008 and went straight to Yankee farm system.

Sounds like the roster at Haaavard. ;-)

 

[UMJer026]

Dobard Armbrister & Lassiter sounds like a **** of a commercial litigation firm.

Baseball scouts had him listed between 6'1" - 6'3" and 185-195lbs in 2008, noting his above average arm strength and speed, with footwork needing improvement. He passed up a scholarship at UNC to sign with the Yanks as the 830th overall pick in the 27th round in 2008 for a 675,000$ signing bonus. Part of his deal with the Yanks included an agreement to pay for his college education after the conclusion of his baseball career. George Steinbrenner was said to be a big UNC guy. So the Canes would be getting a scholarship quality QB prospect on the Yankees dime.

Lannister?

 

[CaneTime01]

I was told he is 6'2" 220 now and that the Yankees would be paying his tuition

Lannister?

Good family name. They always pay their debts too.

 

[jevoasis]

Don't know him, but anyone we get for free is OK with me.

 

[bozcane]

LOL if he rocks it, turns out to be a stud, rather than a holder for PATs and FGs.

As long as he isn't a cancer.

Let's hope this is the next Brandon Weeden.

 

[cowboycane]

This could be very very interesting.

 

[westcoastcanes]

how can he possibly have eligibility? is this a "club" type role?
if you can be ruled inelligible for skiing
how can you not for making 6 figures in pro baseball?
or does that just mean you arent scholarship eligible or something?

Just how Chris Weinke played for FSU after his career.
Just how Russell Wilson played minor league ball while playing QB for NC State

Eligibility pertains to each sport. He can't play college baseball since he went Pro in it, but football is not baseball - he's still considered an amateur in football.

i see, then did bloom have to do with the olympics?

 

[Boston_Cane]

The NCAA allows athletes to get paid as pros in one sport while staying eligible in others. Jeremy Bloom lost his eligibility because he accepted endorsements to have the money to train for the 2006 Olympics.
