If they haven’t pulled their name, it isn’t over yet period

I’m sure kids are told to make vague tweets and get some excitement by their agents. Show an MLB team that if you really wanna sign my client you better come with your best offer.

You see it all the time where they tweet before the third day. Get drafted. Delete the tweet. Then sign.

That’s why I was saying a vague tweet isn’t the same as pulling your name from the draft. Let’s hope no one meets his number and he’s a Tiger.

Is there even such a thing as pulling your name from draft? I thought there was no formal entry/exit process, you're eligible or not and can be drafted or not. These I'm pulling my name out tweets are for show really trying to drive price up in most cases I bet. How many times in past have seen something similar and the player still gets drafted and signs anyways

Following some of the Arkansas class. They had two players on social media say they are removing their name from the draft and MLB Draft Tracker removed them from the best available list. So maybe.

How many of their 13 top 100 have been drafted so far? I have a buddy that’s a Hog fan and a huge troll. All I’ve heard from him is that LSU spent all their money last year and now their recruiting is suffering along with him calling this Arky class the best ever.

If you publicly tell every MLB team not to draft you, they aren’t going to draft you.

Drafted
27.) Miller SS #13
37.) George OF #65
50.) Zanetello SS #52
52.) Martin SS #30
150.) Questad RHP #194
234.) Kent RHP #126
235.) Yoho - portal transfer from Indiana to Arkansas

Available
#139 Fisher LHP
#141 Dietz LHP
#183 McGuire RHP
#205 Helfrick C
#222 Souza SS

Taken their name out of the draft
#101 Hachmann LHP
#159 Gaeckle RHP

Not gonna sugarcoat it. It’s for sure an impressive class. If they keep the rest of the class it could be one of the top classes ever.

Anytime someone goes to the portal they think they are immediately the top choice and a lock. They will melt if Holman picks us. They are still crying about Skenes being “bought” by LSU. While Skenes said it was for Wes Johnson, the LSU pitching lab, and to play with Dylan Crews. They don’t listen to logic.

Arkansas fans have little brother syndrome hard though. They think they are the pinnacle of College Baseball. They think they have the best fans, best stadium, and best training facilities in the country. They think they own Omaha and Omaha loves them more than us. The best word to describe them is delusional.

New article on D1 written by Shooter Hunt claiming Cameron Johnson is making it to campus

To further elaborate here’s what was said in the article:

“Just one LSU Tigers recruit was selected in the Top 10 rounds (C Blake Mitchell, 8th Overall), and not because of a lack of talent. For the second year in a row (Paxton Kling), Coach Jay Johnson will welcome the top incoming freshman to campus in LHP Cameron Johnson (IMG
Academy, FL). A presumptive Top 30 pick, it appears the asking price was set high, and rightfully so given the massive success (statistically AND financially) seen from the likes of Paul Skenes and Ty Floyd.”

I haven’t seen anything about Johnson removing himself from the draft yet so unless the writer knows something (which is possible I suppose) saying “he will be welcomed to campus” is, at this point, still jumping the gun. Not that this isn’t good news!!! But, the draft is the draft. Crazy things happen.

Don’t sleep on Kade Anderson either. #130 recruit on Perfect Game and another LHP. Would be crazy to add three high quality lefties in one freshmen class.

Everything I’ve read on Anderson is that he would’ve been a 1st rounder if he wasn’t hurt, I’ll take 2 potential 1st round arms like Anderson and Johnson from the left side

Add in Gage jump who was highly rated out of high school as well. Could have some serious lefty action this year:

Griffen Herring
Gage jump
Kade Anderson
Jake brown
Cameron Johnson (fingers crossed)

Pretty sure you have to actually sign up to be in the draft. I believe you can revoke the paperwork too. Not sure if you can revoke it after the draft starts tho.

That’s 9 lefties and good ones. How many pitchers do anticipate carrying? I am asking for guys like Money if they do t get drafted will there be room for some of the pitchers that were not as effective?
