It's fairly rare for recruits to do that right out of HS. More often they do exactly what Jackson Rutledge did, go to school for a year, not get the playing time they want, go to Juco, then get drafted highly.

I am stating a few things: I follow the Cardinals closely (first writing gig was covering prospects for them as their AA team is here). As such, I follow what they’re doing and they’re essentially out of money after signing a couple of HS kids to over 125k deals after 10th round. The rest of...

Amditis, Mixon, Veliz, McKendry drafted and gone. Keysor drafted and back. Logo, recruit, drafted and gone. All other recruits are expected to get to campus.

I’d guess he got the free $125,000 as a draft eligible sophomore. Guys like this taken where he was they’ve already had the conversation before he is even drafted and they know what it costs to sign him. Probably got the “will you take 125k?” spiel and said yup.

Van Belle was a nice pitcher for us this year (and I'm extremely happy that he is quite likely to be back), but his metrics showed a pretty average projection and his physical skills showed...

Keven Pimentel just went in the draft. Former Cane went down to DII.

Jagr is correct. I've worked with players in the area a lot in the past and my little brother was a recruited baseball player. Prior to grad school I thought I might go the scout route and worked in the summer leagues with the placement of players for both college and pro baseball (have a kid as...

Van Belle is the key. Getting him back gives us a real shot at ACC title and national seed, which is almost a walk to the Supers. Veliz is leaving. McKendry is leaving. We will probably lose a more few recruits either due to draft or because they don't fit once numbers are reassessed. Cal...

Last year four players drafted in the top-10 rounds did not sign. All of them were 1st round or 1st round supplemental picks. Carter Stewart was because of a failed physical. Gunnar Hoglund was because of a reneged commitment from the team. Matt McLain and JT Ginn I am not sure of the reason...
