UT evaluated the situation, realized he was not very high on us and decided to put resources elsewhere. If I had to give it odds 60% Vandy - 30% elsewhere - 10% UT.

At a tournament at Riverdale High I got to talk to about 5 or 6 MLB scouts. The speed guns were everywhere, most all of them thought he was very far ahead of the curve, especially considering he was just in high school. One told me if you took the left hand thrower out of the mix he would be just a serviceable pitcher, the fact he was a lefty with his speed and control made him much more rare and valuable.

I was able to talk with Tommy Lasorda for about 10 minutes as the game was closing out, not every day a man gets to do that!
