Yeah- this is a shot at MLB to get the money right
Just in case he doesn't like his MLB offer.
So then why wouldn’t he enroll at JUCO so he could go next year if he had a good season?
Isn’t he ties to State until he’s 21?
To play in front of some of the biggest crowds in college baseball? To get some higher level coaching, training, development? To have the chance to win a natty? To bang good looking chicks?Quote:

If he's going to MLB, it won't be for huge money. His stock is down a bit from where it was a couple years ago.
Yeah I've heard same.Quote:

Right that's looking like the plan. Be good for him and us.Quote:

I don't recall the last kid to enroll and then leave, after the draft.Quote:

Of course the draft used to be one-month earlier. Used to be in the middle of Omaha.
Did Brady Loftin and Ross Highfill enroll? Would be great to have these three Mississippi guys enrolled and on campus.
Yeah loftin and Highfill both enrolled.Quote:

Draft is July 17-19th and the deadline to sign is August 1st.
By August 2 we should pretty much know what our team looks like from all standpoints. Recruits, seniors potentially returning, guys from the portal- although I guess Skenes could technically announce after August 1 and that's probably more of an issue of when classes start at MSU. My guess is he'll announce sometime around July 20-31 though.
what are the chances that Clijinte remains enrolled?
This. His social media has been all about coming to MSU. I think he's one that stays on campus. If we were to get everyone but Jett, that would be absolute major kudos to Lemonis. Loftin, Highfill, Jordan, Cijntje and a couple others are guys you can build Omaha around.Quote:

The baseball draft is stupid in this one way. Either the kid should be declared and have to go to the MLB if drafted, or come to school and not have that choice for 3 years. The simple fact that teams have to waste a pick on a guy that can just decide not to go is dumb. At least, a person that declares draft eligible, should have to go to MLB if taken in the top 10 rounds or something.
I will add, regardless of league, if the player is not drafted they should be allowed to return to school if they are still in good academic standing, regardless.
When did they change the rule that once a player started classes, he was in for 3 years unless he transferred to a JC?
It's 3 years or 21 years old.Quote:
