Now that the US National Team is finished (they went 5-3 and captured bronze btw), is their an eta on Skenes announcement with regards to where he is transferring?
This was a hot topic 2 weeks ago but has since gone ice cold.

He intentionally put off a decision until National Team play concluded so I do assume that a decision will be coming. I figure he is waiting draft results and will then make a decision.
Agree he's probably got a decision to make with his family but he is not draft eligible this year but should be a 1st rounder next year. Two big concerns are (1) he was supposed to visit Arkansas at some point (before or after National Team play???) and (2) Bianco was leading the NT and could make some in-roads with him.Quote:

Draft starts tomorrow. As they said- things should start picking up later this week
I didn't say he was draft eligible. Where he lands will be based off who else is drafted at the schools he is considering. wait til mid next week and we will see more movement.Quote:

On a positive note- unless something crazy happens- Luke will be our catcher this Spring
That's big news. Veteran player. Older players like him had big years this past season.Quote:

I'll take his OBP of .400 in the 2 hole in front of guys like Hines, Ledbetter, and others all day long.Quote:

7 hole would be ideal.Quote:
