They were cool with Russell until his senior season. Things change.
I would say if a coach is going to push him into playing one or the other it would be McGee. I'd imagine if he had to pick one of the programs to play for, he'd pick UAB Baseball.
Last year in spring, he went through spring football and just didn't go to baseball games during that time. I don't know if that was because he was redshirted in baseball last year, but I doubt that happens this year.
I really think he would choose football over baseball because he was recruited by McGee even when he was at Arkansas. I believe he came here for McGee.
After being here for a year and seeing both programs, which sport would you rather play at UAB if forced to choose?
Getting to play at regions park and on a team a couple years removed from a conference championship, baseball. BUT! He followed McGee here, so I believe he picks football if he had to choose.

He wasn't following McGee anywhere until Baylor dropped him.

Kinda depends, too, on how his shoulder injury heals...
