quote:
Although he received major attention from pro scouts at the national games, Williams, who is ranked in the Top 5 of most national high school baseball recruiting lists for 2013, said he still plans to honor his verbal commitment to LSU, even though there is a good chance he could hear his name called in the early rounds of the Major League Baseball draft next year. He said he will discuss his future plans with his family when that time comes, but as for now, he's planning to join the Tigers. "I want to get an education," Williams said. "I'm not going to play baseball forever. Every baseball player needs something to fall back on. They have pro players who have millions of dollars, and they are set for life. I'm not there yet, so I have to start planning ahead."
Found the thread. Here ya go.
ETA: The thread is at the bottom of page 15.

It is almost impossible that this kid makes it to campus. I know he has stated he will honor his commitment and wants to get his education, but I believe that is just window dressing. What is he supposed to say, "I'm planning on going pro but LSU is my fallback plan"?
Don't get me wrong, I would be going crazy with excitement if he comes here, but realistically...probably gonna be offered too much to turn down the pros.
