Burrell was the first American athlete to be a first round draft-pick in two major sports.

Wow, No one mentioned either Tom Glavine or Eric Lindros. Both were drafted for both Hockey and Baseball.

Because no one gives a about hockey.

Frankly, I completely forgot about him, which I assume 90% of folks here that primarily follow the hoops program did as well.

I figured that if he turned out to be a very good FB player, the likelihood of him suiting up for the hoops program would be slim. It does happen from time to time at other programs, but it's pretty rare. When it happens, it's usually with elite dual-sports athletes who are very good at both, which doesn't seem to be the case here, though I might be wrong. I understood that Fuchs was a D1 football talent, but a marginal D1 hoops level recruit.

As most of us know, the NCAA makes the player sign the FB scholly and walk-on to the hoops team. My guess is that whatever program he lands, if he's football starter or future starter material, that coach is not going to want him to play hoops. As for most hoops coaches, if he's a big body who can at least come off the bench to eat some minutes or maybe even if he's just a solid practice player, they'd be willing to take him after his FB season has ended.

Here's a trivia question: What Dual-FB/Hoops 2-sport athletes can you name?

Charlie Ward (FSU QB/PG) is one that I can come up with.

There have been a few FB/Baseball ones: Bo Jackson, Scott Burrel (UConn Hoops/Pro-baseball), Deion Sanders

I actually found a Wikipedia link of Multi Sports Athletes. I'm sure some of you can come up with a good list off the top of your head.

Nasty Nate Robinson

No mention of Dave Winfield?? Sacrilege. Dude could've played in MLB, NBA and NFL. A freak athlete. I'd put him and Bo Jackson as the tops in my lifetime.

Jim Thorpe was the first to play numerous sports and do them as well as anyone during his period. More info

How could we get two pages in without mentioning Micheal Jordan, GOAT on the hardwood, and goat on the diamond.

@JohnFSilver BTW, TE Fuchs is still a UConn commitment. I know there is contrary info out there.

What the fuch

 

[Fishy]

Fuchs definitely decommitted - there ain't no question about that.

However, he's re-committed and will be on campus this weekend.

This is terrific news for the football program - but, again, no impact on the hoop program.
