Only reason I can think of that he hasn’t been drafted yet was because his number was too high or the control issues people spoke of.

But damn… 99mph from the left side??!!!

I wouldn't get excited until he takes his name out

Not yet, honestly I wouldn't until draft is over and he doesn't get drafted or goes super late rounds

No.

It's like Fight Club.

Or a No-Hitter.

Or a Perfect Game.

Delete this thread.

Yes you should get excited.

He's going to pitch for LSU next year.

I would wait to make sure someone doesn't drop 3 million in his lap in the 10th

Do the right thing at this point...and bet on yourself, like Dylan Crews did.
The reward is very much worth it!

No, he could also go JUCO.

You can get excited when he pulls out of the draft and steps foot on campus, until then, relax.

Wait until the clock strikes 12. We have been down this road too many times before.

You have to wait until after round 15. Teams will draft HS kids in rounds 11-15 that they will try to sign with savings from rds 1-10. Kids drafted in rds 11-15 still sign at a 93% rate.

Do not get excited. Just stop please stop. A team will circle back around and most kids don't stay firm to their number

We saw what 99 did from the left side for Florida in the last game. 99 means nothing if you can’t control it. Hopefully CJ will have better control than JC showed because that will lose more games than it will win.

Mac Marshall made it hard for me to ever feel comfortable about a player making it to campus. I still get excited, though.

I know the vast majority here remember what happened with Marshall, but in case anyone is new to this, he was one that got drafted late, said he was coming to campus, showed up for a brief time, if I remember correctly, and then decided to leave the program and go to junior college so that he could re-enter the draft the following year.


That's my "worry" at this point. I just hope the kid actually wants to come to LSU if he doesn't get his number, and doesn't go to a junior college.

Yeah you can, until next year when he walks a batter or 2. Then we as “fans” can shite all over him.
