I'm all for the kid coming to Msu, but it seems it's a big gamble coming back to Msu. I wish him all the best and I surely hope he makes a complete recovery and be the pitcher that his potential seems to be when healthy.
I don't think I would pass up 7 figure money this time, especially after having surgery, just saying.
The only thing now is that if he gets a 7 figure bonus, the way this year's rules are set up, he won't see all of it until July 1 of 2022. Teams are paying 10% this year, 50% of remaining by July 1 next year, and rest by July 2022.

That, coupled with the questions surrounding the long term viability of some of the minor leagues would have me seriously considering coming back to school.
