Are these going pro percentages or signing with someone else or both
I'll take a shot but this predicting what baseball players will do is even more iffy than undecided football players will sign. It's like trying to predict exactly where a hurrican is gonna go, lol. I've seen kids take a 10k signing bonus and not play college ball. A 10th round pick may get 2nd round type signing bonus money based on what a team pays earlier draft picks, just so many variables. Here's my guess though:
Cijnte-50%
Williams-10%
Highfill-80%
Loftin-60%
Holcombe-80%
Jordan-50%
If Jordan and Highfill come I expect them to start right away or at least contend for a starting spot.
With our pitching situation being what it is I would expect those three to contend for spots on the staff- at least Pico type production. Holcombe of course I expect to contend for a weekend or closer role.
I usually have pretty cautious expectations for any freshman or even a JUCO. Usually there are a couple like Hunter Hines and Pico that contribute right away. Just impossible to know until the lights come on.
Highfill isn't ready to be a starter..... yet. Saw him several times. And for those wondering about him signing, there wasn't a single scout at any of the games I saw him play. Not one. I'm sure he has been seen plenty. But it's pretty telling when there isn't one. For example, there were bundles of scouts at one of Jordan's recent games.
