Possibly. It's not out of the question. Murray went 9th overall & Ealy is significantly better. Just depends on his Spring

Ginn got offered 2.4 million dollars. Ealy isn't going to get much more than that.

He also had a problem with Gipson pushing him really hard to sign early.

This is also true.. That weird decommitment message was basically referencing him

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

He's borderline top 10 and has connections. He's going top 20 (barring injury or something) IMO.

If he's a first rounder, I think he'd be a fool to go play cfb. I think it's very unlikely he will, but again, you never know what kids will do

The blue jays have told him he won’t fall past them at 11 (or 12?)....Ealy is not playing football.

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

There is also a trend going with many major league teams to shy away from high school pitching early in the draft. There are exceptions, but the Tommy John surgery rate for pitchers is approaching 40% now. I think you're going to see more and more position players drafted earlier and pitching will come more from college in the early rounds. There will be exceptions, but I think that is going to be the trend.

Well folks.....this recruiting cycle is about complete

For sure we add:

Pickering
Cunningham (hopefully qualifies)
Payton
Walker
Duncan
Lawrence

We may or may not get:

Emerson
Moore
Mingo

so at worst we sign 20 and at best 23.....and we probably get a grad transfer. If we don't add 2/3 of the maybes this class will be a disappointment to me

Please tweet this to Alex Anthopoulos (braves gm). He loves HS pitching, and I'll be pretty shocked if he doesn't have another at #9 this year

High school pitchers are probably the biggest gamble of all. Very risky

Not saying, he won't go that high, haven't seen him. However, it's a long way until the draft and that kind of talk really means little to nothing. And while I agree, odds are he won't play football based on all the info, there is only one school that has a shot to have him on the football field and that's the one that signs him. I'd rather be that one, no matter the end result. Never know.

I've just looked through 10 or so mock drafts, and the earliest I've saw him is 15th, most mid-20s. Now obviously these mean little, but the top 10 seems to be the same with a little different order. Also remember this... Seth beer was considered an absolute look to be #1 pick after his freshman year; he ended up #28 in his draft. Things can change

Nah, it means a good bit for him. He's got good baseball people around him and they know exactly what they're looking at.

We've got 24 spots under the 85. Any one heard anything about Shane Buechele? Seems like he would be a great fit. Really hoping we add Juwan Johnson as well.

Don't believe we're looking for a transfer QB. DL and WR are the priority. Plus the punter. I don't believe we'll get Johnson but he's going kick the tires. He wants to play with an established QB.

MY point is, he doesn't speak for the blue jays, that's idol chatter.

Johnson is visiting us and he knows our new WR coach, and he obviously knows our system and Moorhead. I don't know why we wouldn't go after Buechele. he's a better prospect than Kelly Bryant imo and I don't know where else he is considering.

My assumption is that he wouldn't have enough time to learn the system since he'd get here in the summer.

If the assumption is correct, the I agree with hoops. The redskins picked up josh Johnson and played him the same week or maybe the next. If we couldn't get a player ready in months, something is amiss

The system wasn't tough to pick up for any QB's before last year... just sayin

I don't think our QB had trouble picking up the offense vs anyone besides the good defenses this year. Funny how that worked

ETA... Moorhead even said no one had picked up his offense so fast. Then once it was ineffective vs good defenses, it became all on fitz not being able to pick up the offense

That’s not an absolute statement. That’s a statement given the assumption is true. That’s what “then” means.

If X, then Y.

An absolute statement would be Y. Independent of if X.

I watched them both play each other last year at Brandon. There was at least 30 scouts there to watch and they both had their moments. Ginn struck Ealy out early but Ealy hit a bomb off Brandons reliever when Ginn came out to go to SS

If Buchele is there we should take him. Not like we dont have room. Worst case it pushes KT and the others to be better
