Pretty sure he was last ranked 59 as well. Don't think he moved either way.

You're probably right, for some reason the #56 was really standing out in my head.

Is there a reason Bates has yet to commit?

He's decided to wait until camp in June. Which I have no problem with, since it'll be nationally televised.

Nationally televised???? What channel???

 

[OrangeinmyVeins]

My guess is ESPNU will have some coverage of The Opening.. since it is run by ESPN

 

[Biopsyman]

I used to watch it a long time ago too.

Agree about the chicks

When did it become fake?

 

[BigHodgie]

announcing at The Opening scares me. no reason. I just hate rejection, so rejection on national tv is worse.

 

[OrangeinmyVeins]

Dillon Bates's commitment is the worst kept secret in Florida... no need to worry!

Does anybody know the exact date in June when he's supposed to announce at the opening?

 

[Volnerd]

Per some tweets I just saw on ESPN, it looks like a coaching convention at Bates' spring game.

 

[PassedOutAwake]

UConn, Iowa St, Minnesota, JU, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Ohio State, MTSU, Kentucky, Louisville are a few that showed up for his spring game
