Anyone else shocked that Longhi, Dehart, Fraley and Poche havent been drafted yet?



It was either DeHart or Fraley who sent out the notice to teams to not draft him. So one of those isnt surprising. Definitely surprising to me Longhi hasn't been drafted yet. He was supposed to be a Top 10 round guy for sure.

the adult who said Ross was returning 100% guarantee because the draft ends after 10 rounds and is now in full CYA mode trying to make it seem smart to come back to school and sign as a senior with zero leverage

Westminister Christian just had someone taken.


quote:

A three-sport star at Westminster Christian Academy in Louisiana, Williams is committed to Nichols State to play wide receiver. But that hasn’t stopped scouts from watching him pitch this spring. Williams throws his fastball in the upper-80s and has touched the low-90s. Scouts believe there is more velocity in his 6-foot-3, 200-pound frame if he gets more experience and receives better instruction. He also throws a curveball and a changeup, though both are in their nascent stages. It will take a while to develop Williams, but a team that is enticed by his raw athleticism and upside could take on the project.

Thats one thing and I can see that angle, but you can't base it on draft position and money like what was being discussed before.

Keep on keeping, you're better off stalking Hamm and A&M boards than me as per usual.

I'm back.

LSU's going to lose Williams and Palladino and that's it.

Going to be a top #3 class minimum.

So we're returning Ross, and losing no catchers.


you're better off pretending to be a scout on 247. Its crazy to see how jealous you get of Adam or that STL guy and you have to follow with 8 page scouting reports.

It'll be a tough decision, could go either way really. He's in that grey area.

he can get his degree whenever he wants to and have it completely paid for by whoever drafts him

that may not be a factor

With the way this draft is playing out, are we going to have some numbers issues? Fall ball may essentially turn into
a try out.

Yes it's been discussed in this thread a few pages back. There will be attrition to the class itself as well as the current team moving forward.

at the end of the draft, we'll have some 20+ round draftees, right?

guys are too talented for teams not to take a flier on a few

Adam in your opinion will that be a good thing? Will we still able to field a top 20 team next year?

The 2014 class is off to a great start also. We have Perfect Game's current #1 players in Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, and Illinois committed.
