I can’t decide if that’s good or bad

Its not good or bad... Its GREAT!!

We don't know the asking prices, and if they were too high it can cause players to drop a ton because they are viewed as undraftable. Doesn't necessarily mean they suck.

However, that will not stop rantards. They have a built in narrative either way. Its either:

"CPM signs players who were never going to make it to campus."

Or

"CPM can't even sign players good enough to get drafted."

It will be interesting to see which current players leave if most of the signees come to school.

Did Michael Byrne get drafted?

Not yet

Are Will Reese & Clay Moffitt expected back next year?

That's why baseball recruiting is so crazy. You don't want to recruit players that are so good that they would be drafted very highly and never make it to campus. This is what got Smoke and Turtle Thomas in so much trouble. Both coming from smaller schools, they were like kids in a candy store with all of the best prospects in the country want to talk to them. Problem is they signed several of these players and had top ranked recruiting classes, but none of the best players never made it to campus.

Maineri takes a chance on a few players that will get drafted high, then you always have the late bloomers that skyrocket up the draft ratings by maturing and having big senior years. For the most part, he is very good at getting the players that fall just below that upper tier where the odds are very strong that they will show up on campus.

The way things are going now.....no

Round 6 has begun slot is in the 290's

If we get 4/4 out of Hill, Marceaux, Henry and Kelly...a good cleansing is about to commence of the current roster from a pitcher standpoint.

I’ll gladly take 3/4 plus Hess and Walker back
