Its a bummer that some of our higher rated targets are trending to UK - especially Bates, given his brother is at UC.

Give me the TE from LaSalle Whyle all day over Bates. He may end up being a really tough pull because he's blowing up but he's a better athlete and a more complete player and he has the much higher ceiling IMO out of the two. He's developed a ton over the last few years where Bates is sort of what he was as a freshman. He got so much hype early on because he was so physically developed at an early age. Just look at the schools coming after both. Mid-tier P5 type schools for one and then you see Auburn and Oregon just offering Whyle in the last few weeks.

Whyle is blowing up and now has 24 offers. wcpo has a premium article on him, but not a lot of news as far as his future intentions. He did sound impressed, for reasons that I don't fully understand, that Oregon was the only school to offer him via Facebook fwiw and sounded like he planned to visit there.
