Swagdog Cobra offered him a scholarship, telling him he had to immediately jump on it. Bates didn't, and now his offer is pulled.
Apparently Sumlin offered him a scholarship, but told him he had to jump on it or risk losing his offer for the #2 DE on their board.
Bates didn't jump on it, so now Taylor Hammbone says the offer no longer exist.
Now he apparently can commit at a different time

"They talked to me and told me I'm their No. 1 guy at defensive end," Bates told Taylor Hamm of 247Sports. "There are three DEs on the board but they said that the offer was mine but that, if I was not going to take it, they were going to offer their No. 2 guy. If he doesn't take it, then [the offer] is still good to both of us after that."

Just for clarification purposes, Bates no longer has an offer since he didn't commit.

Bates told me A&M wanted him to commit. If he didn't, the offer was going to their next target. Therefore, since he didn't commit, his offer is not longer on the table at this time. However, that doesn't mean he won't have another opportunity to commit at a later time.

Bunch of bs then..... You don't yank offers from your number one guy

This guy is a baller. We really need him in this class.
If he doesn't have a brand new car by signing day, expect him to be at LSU.

21-0
LA is trash

In fairness, they did tell him up front

Vermillion,
Is Isaiah Washington solid to LSU?
Where does he rank as far as DE recruits for us?

Didn't appear to be solid from the beginning, but haven't heard much lately
I have no clue, I just post what I see

Yeah, it makes you wonder if Bates is really No. 1 on their board at DE.
Posted on 6/18/14 at 7:47 pm to tigers32
He was the number one de on their board that was in the office at that time.

Sharp kid to see through the 'you're our #1 most favoritest but only if you commit right now' bullshite. Hope he gets an offer from us, his measurables are legit.

I still can't wrap my head around the love fest all these top players have for A&M.

They are the new hot team on the block. Plenty of buzz around the program. The Aggie network is back open for business. They have an aggressive recruiting staff.
Their DL coach starts recruiting before December . . . ;) joke
