I always get DV’d but there is definitely someone(s) reading both draft threads who does not like me. Dunno Freddy

Understood. Just hoping the kid is solid on that number.

Unless someone is convinced he can play the OF, he isn’t getting $3mil. The question marks on him outweigh the batting practice he took at the combine.

That’s not how it works, plenty of 7 figure signing bonuses still out there.




Possible but not alot. So again my question what high schooler will sign for say 200K?

I’ve been posting off and on for 3 years now and I’ve come to the conclusion that you could say the sky is blue and would still get downvoted. I guess I missed something along the way?


There are a few posters, like Double OH, who say stuff like this...

with slot value at less than 190K from here on out do you think high schoolers will sign for less than 190K if picked?


And then get offended when you point out how dumb they are. They use the down vote button nonstop because it gives them some sense of power in their pea sized brains.

I did not use the down vote basher but nice try. I understand some will get paid more than slot but on the average it will be around slot money. So again what high schoolers will sign for around slot money at this time? I don't think many will sign and will elect to go to college.

What round do you think Reaves will go in? LMAO.............................

I'm not in any way an expert on any of this, but my understanding has kind of been that the further into the draft you get, the higher chance "your guys" make it to campus for lots of complicated reasons, although nothing is really for sure until well past today and on to after whenever last day to sign is. Some drop out because the couple teams they had agreements with for numbers they liked didn't come to fruition. There's still the chance that teams will throw a pick at them anyway and the intricacies of it are beyond me but maybe they're just grabbing "rights" to a player in case they change their mind or maybe that's the pick they're using to not sign so they can save up money for someone else. And other times you think you're out of the woods on a player but then complex circumstances occur and he gets sniped. Also sometimes the inverse happens and a player you assume is gone pecan ends up not signing and comes to campus.

Basically it's a madhouse and effectively just a roulette wheel

To reiterate, all this is way beyond me and I don't keep up with any of it outside of looking at LSU players and prospects when this time comes around every year. So take what I say with a pinch of salt and a dash of tabasco.

Spencer Evans is Coleton Brady's teammate in Florida. I would count on him signing. He was going to be a draft eligible sophomore i think

Someone close to him said days ago he was forgoing the draft (but never took his name out). Just because someone gets picked in rounds 11-20 does not mean they were on the phone and worked out a deal before getting selected.

Before someone tries and to be smart…I have no idea what he’ll end up doing.

I understand that was just a question. I didn’t know if “Coming to LSU” meant if it was officially confirmed from very close sources. Makes sense though.

In the past 2 drafts, 30/30 and 29/30 of all players drafted in the 11th round inked deals with pro teams. Assumption should be that Evans is gone.
