You're correct. He has the tools and the potential, he's not there now. But a lot of guys get drafted based on tools and potential.

And we were able to bring 4 of the 5 to campus. Hopefully we can bring 4 of the 5 guys this year to MSU (we have less than a 1% chance with Speas)

Correct. I never said he couldn't or shouldn't get drafted, he's a semi-projectable guy. Big difference between that and a guy who can come in and play sec baseball. He's a project. Pro teams can wait on projects.
