Dang hacker, he's not even finished with the bones yet.
Don't take the guy's info and cite it word for word AS he's typing it

Just awesome to see a kid of that caliber stay solid with you and true to his word without playing any games. Said he wasn't going to sign in Dec to enjoy the process but was still fully committed. Did exactly what he said except took fewer visits. Love it and so refreshing to see!!
I know Ealy is saying that now but that is not going to sit well with most MLB teams after the Murray. So there's that and then he's a RB who is subjecting himself to knee and shoulder injuries. Be curious to see how this plays out but I think this is one of those things that's easy to say now and harder to say when some scouts say they love you and want to draft you in the first, but ONLY if you commit to baseball.
It figures Darius Washington gets his 4th star on 247 right after we learn he's not coming to MSU.
By the way, how did things go with Moore yesterday? Were some bridges mended?
Maybe he likes football better and wants to see if he has a future in it before walking away. Ginn turned down a couple million to pay part of his own tuition. Kids do crazy things sometimes
ETA... I sure as hell wouldn't turn down 1st round mlb money
ETAx2... maybe he watched Deion's 30 for 30 and dreaming big lol
Not sure but I do know he has someone close to him pushing him there. He's truly torn from what im hearing
IM not sure thats possible lol
Then why is Ginn sitting in our dugout for practice today?
It still shocks me that a bunch of adults think they know what kids are going to do when they are being pulled in all kinds of directions like this.
Kid is 18 and has a lot of options. Anyone on a message board that says they for sure know what he is and isn't going to do is kidding themselves.
He's not beating out Phillips. And I seriously doubt (And by doubt, I mean they know) Ealy's people believe that that. He may sign with OM, but he's not playing ball up there and giving up $5M. His folks made a big deal of being one of the elite all star selections for multiple games etc. They have no reason to settle on playing for OM for a year. It's a ridiculous scenario.
Is he a top 10 pick? Assigned value drops below 4 million around pick 14. Drops below 3 around pick 23.
I really have no idea what his draft stock. Only site I see him on is really old and has him at #20. That slot is around 3.1. And yeah, 3.1 would be more than enough for me to go pro
There were significant starter/reliever concerns with Ginn that put in the 25-40 overall bracket of the draft. Similar questions surrounded Michael Kopech FWIW.
With Ealy, you are talking about a rare mix of power, speed, acceleration, & arm strength with no guessing on what his future position & role SHOULD be. That puts him in the 5-15 overall bracket
