At least ULL didn't get him.

I spoke with him after he made the decision yesterday. He told me that Zook offered him immediate playing time as a hybrid DE/LB. It's a great opportunity for him.

Oh and 15 pages.

Well good for him. I hope that works out well for him though I'm always leery of anyone who offers a high school senior "immediate playing time" in a BCS conference.
Best of luck Houston Bates! I think everyone wins in this scenario.

Bates will be the fastest player on their D.......It's the Big 10.

Houston has realistic expectations. He would like to see the field early, but knows he will have to earn it. He's a very humble kid, and intelligent too. He made the right decision, imo

Agreed.
Glad the kid ended up at a good school.

Good for him. Nice landing spot for him at a BCS school and both he and TD can now move on. We really need to stop offering players of that caliber so early IMO. I'll duck now.

Good school for him. Gets to play in the Big 10 instead of the Sunbelt

Good for him. Good opportunity to play for a BCS school and an excellent school as well.
Best of Luck Houston Bates.
Anyone think this affects Mickey Johnson?

Great for him. Ill. is a MUCH better school than ULL.
