I don't know where he is. I know he is not coming back to Barbe or any CPHS. I heard that Glen was trying to help him find a spot at IMG or another private academy, but nothing emerged. I also heard that while he wasn't ever planning to get to LSU he reconnected with the staff to try and make things work out. Sounds like he got some news from scouts that he wasn't likely to get real money from the draft. It just goes to show how easy things can slip away from these kids.

I guess that’s one way to put it. Yeah, it just “slipped away” like an injury or illness.

He was trying to make things work out because an offer from a place like LSU is leverage for a larger bonus. If your only options are JUCO and the draft, your signing bonus is going to take a major hit. From his schoolwork to his actions, Victorian could pen a paper on “How to Decrease Your Leverage/MLB Signing Bonus”.
