Kramer, Cole, Alex , Jared and Gregg all returned for their senior yr and made a decent amount for signing as a senior.

Alex?

And that’s just wrong. Kramer cost himself 100k by coming back

Coming back as a senior will get them into the top 10 without a doubt. But not for the reasons you think. They’ll use them as a way to save money to give to other players. If money is your #1 priority, then you have no choice but to leave as a junior

Exactly. Except the risk of getting less. He’ll get $125 this year. 10 or less next year. Not peanuts but not life changing either


Where are you seeing that he will be offered the max $125k ?

Alex and Greg were not seniors and only Deichmann was a draft eligible sophomore, you nitwit.

I never realized how many people didn't watch LSU baseball yet were so interested in the LSU's draft prospects.

im not, I’m just guessing that it would be his floor to consider leaving. If he stays he’s getting nothing.

ETA: not nothing but definitely not more than $125

Ex:
Kramer turned down $250
Improved his stock, went all the way up to rd 4.
Signed for $150.

And I was shocked he got that much. Duplantis won’t get to the 4th

True, and I don't know how much higher Antoine's stock can go. Pretty shitty, actually. Kramer's slot $ was actually around $450k.

Slot was $450. He signed for $150. The reward for elevating his stock as a senior

What did Poche get? 40k? That’s prolly what Dup would be looking at.

Some perspective of how this craziness works.
Last year the Phillies drafted a guy in the 39th rd, signed him for $250k
Braves drafted a guy in the 7th and he signed for $1000 (not a typo. One thousand)
Difference? 39 guy was a HSer, 7 guy was an accomplished college senior

And that was probably a best case scenario. It was pretty surprising that he got that much. However, maybe that extra year of college ball plus a run at a national title made it a good value proposition for Kramer. But for a lot of players that won't be the case. It just depends on where Dups' head is at.

Exactly. Coming back for senior year has zero to do with $ except for losing it. Unless you somehow go from undrafted to top 3, something crazy. It’s about the $ offered as jr not being enough to miss the experience and the degree.

No I understand the slotting and money pool. I just don’t think he would offered $125k or even close. If he stays and goes top 10 rounds next year it allows a team to draft him as a senior and save a ton in their top 10 pool.

Ex: they may offer him 50-75k this year and he could get close to that next year if a team is looking to save money for other top prospects and takes him early. Plus he gets to graduate and go to school with his brother for a year.

I was about the only one on this board that said Hess Watson & Dup had a chance to come back . In fact I even called it in December, I can find the thread if you’d like.

I thought Hess would go much earlier, yes. You won’t find any post of mine saying any of these guys were leaving for sure

I don’t know what % of the 125 juniors normally get. I just figured since they have leverage and teams would rather pay the peanuts then lose the pick. But either way, 50, 75, 125, I don’t think it would change my mind if I was Duplantis. He either wants to be an LSU senior or not. Money matters very little.

he’ll get what they feel like giving him. Like I said, a 7th rder got 1k last year lol
