What two colleges offered St. Louis Cardinals third baseman Scott
Rollen a basketball scholarship?
The schools most often mentioned as having offered basketball
scholarsips to Scott Rolen are Oklahoma State University and the
University of Georgia. I also found one source which says that Rolen
was considering a scholarship from the University of Alabama ("The
Crimson Tide").
"Scott Rolen is the best third baseman I've ever seen. He's got the
reflexes of a standout hockey goalie and the balance of a top-flight
point guard (as a teenager, in fact, Rolen had scholarship offers to
play hoops at Oklahoma State and Georgia)."

"Scott Rolen wasn't born to play third base. It only looks that way.
At Jasper High School in Indiana, Rolen earned a basketball
scholarship to the University of Georgia as a shooting guard. He also
played almost everywhere but third base until his senior year."

"Another interesting note about Rolen. A two-sport star coming out of
Jasper (Ind.) High School in 1993, he received basketball scholarship
offers from several colleges, including Oklahoma State."

"Scott Bruce Rolen, who graduated from Jasper (Ind.) High School in
1993, won the state's 'Mr. Baseball' honor given to the top high
school player. Although Scott received several basketball scholarship
offers from Oklahoma State and Georgia (among others), he signed with
the Philadelphia Phillies after being drafted in the second round of
the 1993 amateur draft.
Rolen progressed through the Philly farm system at a fast pace before
emerging as the National League Rookie of the Year in 1997. However,
Rolen never quite lived up to being "the next Mike Schmidt" and was
traded in July 2002 from the Phillies along with Doug Nickle and cash
to the St. Louis Cardinals for Placido Polanco, Mike Timlin, and Bud
Smith."

"Prior to his senior baseball season, Scott [Rolen] completed his
final basketball campaign. And what a year it was, as the 6-4 swingman
was third in the voting for Indiana?s 'Mr. Basketball.' A number of
programs recruited him heavily, including Kentucky, Georgia, Oklahoma
State and Alabama. As the winter snows melted, Scott was leaning
toward taking a hoops scholarship from the Crimson Tide."
