It was interesting looking at the SEC teams that made it to Omaha. Most only had two guys that hit over 10 with Vandy being the exception with three.Quote:

On a more embarrassing note, we're the only SEC school not to have a player drafted yet, per Mike Bonner's sunshine pumpin self & of course, Logan Lowery (the other sunshine pumper) follows suit & retweets.
Padgett just drafted by Cubs in 26th round
Nope, big Wes had 5. We only hit 22 as a team. Nobody with more than 2 other than Rea and Humphreys.Quote:

I just hope that several of the signees that weren't/aren't drafted are true 10-25 round talent. If not, we are screwed. I have been hearing for too long that our signees weren't "singable", so they didn't get drafted. Too many of them haven't played like they would have been drafted if they were "singable". The only player that has excited me at the plate has been the catcher that tore it up as a freshmen. Of course, he was injured this year, so who knows what he would have done.
If ya'll can't tell, I'm ready to move forward with a new stadium and a new approach. We need to have at least one player drafted in the first two or three rounds most every year. If we can't recruit at that level, something is wrong.
Exactly. My point was if he does hit 5 and hits .300 and is above average behind the plate he's our best commit. My point is that those projections are wishful thinking seeing as he only hit 6 his whole HS career and hit .320 this SR year.Quote:

Zinn just taken in 28th by Cubs.
.320 as a Senior and 6 HR's over his career does not sound very impressive to me.Quote:

And the sad thing is, Frazier and Renfroe weren't the bell cows of their classes. Those were Bradford (whom we only got one or two good years out of) and Daryl Norris. Now I do believe Humphries and Collins will be in this category. And I also believe Cole Gordon could be to, if Thompson allows Cohen to use him as a hitter. I saw him in the Fall, and he was by far the best hitter on the field at those scrimmages.
Also, Delvin Zinn just got drafted before Hughes or Mangum. Guess they must really suck huh? ***
Doubtful, probably a curtsey pick out of respect for his Dad. He turned down 3rd round money, no way he takes what they offer him.
Where did you hear Marrero turned down 3rd round money? And also, Nick Flair, one of our castoffs, just went in the 34th round before any players we have on our current roster.Quote:

There is no one, zero, zilch that is eligible for draft in our program right now with draftable tools. Nobody.
Robbie Faulk reported it.Quote:
