Not sure why it’s not loading

Just a hs signee of Mizzu signed for 300k. That’s not enough money to sign imo

So many kids get really bad advice. It’s a shame

They do but there are also a lot of circumstances we may not know about. We had a player sign a few years ago that wasn’t ever going to get accepted into school. He signed for a lot less than what he should have because he didn’t have a choice. Another local kid that committed to a “neighboring” sec school had the same issue. A 14 on the ACT ain’t gonna cut it.

Agreed and it’s always funny to me that those kids/agents somehow think scouts won’t find out those important details

We had two recruits last year that had the same deal. One signed and was always going too , the other went juco. Both got drafted way after they should have. Why? They had no bargaining power. Grades are so important

Congrats Zach! Does anyone remember what the offer was out of Hs from the Yankees? Monetarily, might not have been the best choice coming to UT but hopefully the college experience, education and maturity will offset the difference in $$.

Seems like it was around +\-$600,000 out of high school and somewhere around $350,000 last year, nothing confirmed but just what people said around the park TIFWIW

What a joke. Something needs to be done about this. Players have zero incentive to come back for there senior year. The Mets need to be better then this

Mangrum could be hired as a lobbyist for the 3rd assistant and make more $

At first I thought it was a typo, then realized he was a Senior.
