Thanks 31.

 

[StarRaider]

31, are you going to include the new scholorship signees (2017-18 freshman class) as well like you did last year? That was a great resource to keep up with all the info. I know it took a lot of time and was greatly appreciated! :thumbsup:

That's my plan. I like keeping it all in one place.

 

[31VFL]

I wonder what happens with Leftridge, Santiago, and Warren in the draft.

 

[NorCalVol67]

I wonder what happens with Leftridge, Santiago, and Warren in the draft.

Zach is a perfect fit for the Brewers, Uecker has plenty of practice on how to call his games.

 

[OldTimer]

I wonder what happens with Leftridge, Santiago, and Warren in the draft.

Warren will take a mid to late round deal (round 28-35), with virtually no bonus money of significance, IMO

Santiago will get drafted because he has an arm and name, he will not be back regardless, IMO

Leftridge was highly regarded after scout day in the fall, his speed had the scouts drooling, unfortunately the spring season started and the rest is history. If he gets drafted he's gone, IMO

Is that guy next to Uek John Cusack?

 

[vol66]

Did we lose any HS kids today?

Pick 16 is RHP Clarke Schmidt, South Carolina

Are we expecting to lose any high school commits this year?

 

[vol66]

Are we expecting to lose any high school commits this year?

I don't think so, but I haven't been following it as closely this year.

 

[StarBar33]

I'm interested in seeing how Steven Jennings does for the Pirates. He is from my home town. Know him and his family well.

 

[TNSportsman]

Rough day for Ole Miss when it comes to the draft. They were hoping to sneak one of those guys through. South Carolina also took a big hit losing Campusano. Today will also be a big day for several SEC teams especially Florida and Vanderbilt. They have several signees that are right on the cusp of being drafted but are demanding big money.

Vanderbilt, in particular, has Philip Clarke, catcher from CPA in Nashville, that it hopes to get to campus. He is rumored to have told teams it will take $2 million to get him to sign.

 

[zachpack]

Are we expecting to lose any high school commits this year?

Very doubtful. This class is less than stellar.

 

[sport3500]

Good to see the Braves taking some SEC talent and Wright could become a member of the starting rotation in 2020 or 2021.

 

[31VFL]

Through 3 rounds, every SEC team but 1 has had a Commit or player signed. We are the one.

Depressing stat...but at least we should keep our class together. Thanks for updating this!

 

[VolnJC]

So 400k is the contract value for a bottom of the 4th round pick?

 

[VolnJC]

Rodgers and martIn will go here soon

No Vols taken thru 4 rounds
