He was going to be drafted but pulled out to return for his Sr season- guaranteeing he wont hardly get shit next July when drafted.

Why do you do that? Sounds like Parker has told him he has a great chance to be in the weekend rotation and/or we did a great job with NIL on him.
Davis's dream has been to play at MSU. He literally committed when we offered on the spot.

And before you say that doesn't make sense- LSU always has at least a couple of guys on their team like that every year who are diehard LSU fans. We have enough of a following we can certainly do the same.

Now as far as money he is probably going to end up making at least as much from NIL as he would have from a MLB signing bonus this year so he's really not losing much if any money. NIL has some pros especially for baseball.
