He did better than Johnson at navigating an immediate post-championship year, and way better than Bianco or Lemonis.Quote:

Harmon is one that would be a collegiate star and be a 1st rounder later. MLB generally picks college RHP higher than High School RHPs.
Uh. I guess. If by that u mean he did less with more than the other guys you just mentioned.Quote:

Henry Godbout drafted, but Henry Ford is still not drafted.
I want to text my Tennessee friends and pour some hate. I feel cheated.
Harmon drafted in Rd 3- he gone
Harmon gone, it was a long shot
Agree that Harmon is gone. If they couldn’t meet his number, they wouldn’t have drafted him. But again, that’s not a surprise to us or the staff.
Yea, Harmon was looking to go. He wasn't coming to school unless he fell drastically from projections. So far we've only lost the 2 guys that we pretty much knew we were going to lose.Quote:

and that happens all the time. Just look at at very own OF'er last year. He was drafted in the 4th round but signed for 2MMQuote:

For reference, the 1st pick in round 4 starting tomorrow (#106) is slotted at $722K.
Agree, that's why I only said a 'little better'.Quote:

If O'Connor can pull classes like that and he might with having more resources than ever- our future is very bright.
He can still be drafted and go for higher slot money.Quote:

This could be huge for MSU, like how MLB doubted Jurrangelo as a pitcher. Could be that MLB needs to see how jumps between age 17 to 21 to give him 1st round money. Let's see how this plays out. Still feels low probability for MSU.
This is where NIL helps for sure. It used to be that the player weighed MLB money versus a partial college scholarship. Now the colleges can make sure the player gets cash.Quote:
