No one is giving a college baseball player the nil money that equates to the signing bonus generational wealth
At the rate that hitters don't pan out and pitchers get hurt, even if the money was there, it would be quite a gamble to hand out NIL deals to match signing bonuses. Kling, Shores, Noot, and Guidry all turned down north of $1M.

He would have to be caught committing a serious crime to not be drafted. Even still, he would likely go in a late round and be given high round money.

Unless he drops in the draft significantly, I suspect he will go pro.
I just emailed all the MLB teams that he smokes crack and I know this because I’m his crack dealer.

He steals 2nd and 3rd every time he gets on base. He steaks 3rd standing up most of the time.
I don’t know that people understand the tools this kid has. He’s an absolute beast

How pissed off would all the other colleges be if he ends up at lsu? They all make comments about it especially Mississippi schools and you can tell there is a huge fear in the back of their minds because they know if any school could get him it’s lsu. They won’t, but it’s still fun to watch them sweat.

Scouting report MLB.com
Scouting grades: Hit: 50 | Power: 60 | Run: 65 | Arm: 70 | Field: 60 | Overall: 60
For the second time in the last six Drafts, Jackson Prep (Flowood, Miss.) features one of the most tooled-up prospects in the high school class. While Jerrion Ealy opted to pursue a football career, Griffin is a full-time baseball player and could be the first prepster drafted in July. He reclassified from the 2025 Draft to 2024 after leading Jackson Prep to a Midsouth Association of Independent Schools 6-A state championship as a freshman, then helped the Patriots win titles in each of the last two seasons and topped national high schoolers with 87 stolen bases in 88 attempts this spring.
Gatorade's National High School Player of the Year, Griffin has a big league frame at 6-foot-4 and 205 pounds and he possesses five-tool potential. His size does add some length to his right-handed stroke and he has some timing issues he's ironing out at the plate, but he controls the strike zone well and makes regular contact. His combination of electric bat speed, strength and leverage could translate into 30-homer power as he learns to drive the ball in the air more consistently.
Griffin also has well-above-average speed, giving him 30-30 upside. Scouts project him as a plus defender at shortstop and a possible Gold Glover in center field. The Louisiana State commit covers plenty of ground with long strides at both positions and also offers a strong arm that has been clocked up to 96 mph off the mound. His makeup is as impressive as his physical ability.

it sucks because I think he absolutely wants to come you just can’t turn down 1st round
Posted on 6/8/24 at 12:26 pm to SammyTiger
He could be Josh Booty 2.0
Posted on 6/8/24 at 12:37 pm to lsu xman
does he play football?
Posted on 6/8/24 at 6:41 pm to Asleepinthecove
If he could get half that it would be enticing. Watched baseball all day. Packed houses great games ( sorry Georgia) and with all the early call ups, rather spend 2-3 years in college or riding a bus in A ball?

I'd like to know what happened to the scout who told the Marlins to draft him ahead of Todd Walker.

Yea players like that come along in college hardly ever. LSU got very lucky with Crews because 98% of high school recruits of his caliber go pro.
I’m talking if the amount of absolute studs that commit to LSU every year had to come to college then LSU would be a dynasty in baseball. Again lol
