re: Official Brice Turang Watch Thread - Updated - Friday @ 4pm Deadline

Yes, but he’s made it completely obvious his commitment to LSU was strong and he’s been in contact with the LSU staff multiple times since the draft. If he ends up in JUCO it would be more suprising than the fact that he went unsigned

Shouldn’t. Going JUCO would probably hurt his stock unless he would absolutely crush whatever league he’s in. His entire family were student athletes at one point so they obviously value education and what not. Mac Marshall just didn’t want to play school

This thread has made me happy again.

Unless they never offered him more than 3.6 and they say take it or leave it, it’s looking pretty good. The fact that both the signings come the day that the GM said they haven’t made progress is pretty positive

Still a lot of money to pass up, but if anyone else signs overslot I can’t imagine him signing

Would Brice Turang be a draft eligible Sophomore if he did come to LSU?

“The Brewers over-slot signings of Korry Howell and Reese Olson combined for $400K against their bonus pool. If the Brewers made no other over-slot signings and were willing to go up to 5% over their bonus pool they would now have up to $3,613,695 they could offer Brice Turang.”

“If the Brewers don’t sign Brice Turang and his $3,013,600 slot value is removed from their bonus pool allotment the Brewers would have a remaining bonus pool + 5% of $449,415. That money could be used to sign players selected between rounds 11-40 for beyond the $125K allowance.”

My gut tells me they’ve told him 3.6 was their last offer, and these two signings were announced to add to the pressure. I have no clue if he takes the 3.6, but I suspect that is his take it or leave it offer.

This is all part of the negotiations. He's no more or less likely to come than last week. I'd still put it at 10%.
