About this Page -- This is a discussion on Casey Kelly update. within the forum Tennessee Vols Recruiting. Just thought you guys would like to see this. scroll down to first-round buzz. It mentions UT for him.
Casey ...
ESPN's most recent draft board didn't have him on it (in the first round, I guess)...it mentioned him for the Cubs and Yankees ... but guessed they would each pass on him.
I'm sure teams are worried about drafting him because of his signing with the Vols. They don't want to spend an early pick on someone who may not accept their offer. I know I would hate that.
Most teams want him as a pitcher but he wants to play SS but doesnt have a good enough bat for teams to take a chance on him. He throws in the mid to low 90s' and thats without devoting himself to pitching. Scouts think if he devotes to pitching he can easily reach high 90s'.
well if he doesnt sign u get the same pick the next yr so its not that big of a risk to draft him... he knows baseball is his best option to make it big time... imo he going to sign with the team he gets drafted by

i've been saying that for a long time and people didn't believe me.
The problem with him going this late is he will goto a good team and be hard for him to pass up that opportunity. Waiting for the Yankees to draft I was like, man I am not a baseball fan but if the Yankees drafted me it would be hard to say no.

High 90's? yeah right. He wouldn't still be undrafted with that potential.
