@RGBIII

You would know but I heard of a kid that was drafted fairly high and was never contacted. He claimed he would not sign and was going to school. It wasn't a Texas guy so I dont care but it was a surprise. Not sure why he would say that to another kid since he isn't negotiating at the moment.

Today was NOT a good day Moroknek, Freeman and Dotson are gone 

16th round picks don't have a $ slot.  Did the Chisox go under slot somewhere?  I mean, what if they can only offer under $100K?  I don't know what his NIL is, but is say, $85K enough so he doesn't have to play school?

I think after round 10 teams are able to offer up to $125k per player without it interfering with anything else.

The options in the OF are pretty limited and we are hurting a bit on the position player side now. We are going to need someone like Anthony Pack to play as a freshman.

C- Tinney

1B- Livingston

2B- Mendoza

SS- Becerra

3B- Borba

LF- Rodriguez

CF- Pack

RF- Robbins

DH- Who the hell knows.

Wild that only one USA baseball pitcher from last year was taken and they may not sign. 

My youngest is over the moon to watch his cousin even suit up for the good guys. Not many innings available with the 3 guys coming back so I am tempering his expectations. Still a great example of what hard work can get you. It is my boys dream to play in High-school, they wont even aim as high as college yet.

Going from loaded to scrambling in under 24 hours seems to be the opposite of gruntling...anticipated or not. I sure hope our SEC brethren are in the same boat, but I don't know that.

If we were pinning our hopes and dreams on 3 transfer guys, we have bigger problems. I trust Schloss.

Is this the football recruiting thread?

Ha. I was going to say something about the pendulum now swinging quickly in recruiting for both sports but figured I'd first ask you hardcores if this draft is leaving us thinner than had been assumed. I've been reading how much better we were going to be with the guys who got picked today. I don't know the portal setup for fall and thus am unsure about our ability to reload again before 2026 gets here.

Little man is 10 so no. He has a long way to go.

If the bonus number I heard on Freeman is right, he must really not want to do one more year of school. 

It isn’t high at all.

That's who I was referring to earlier.  No reason to go pro under $100K.

If we assume everyone who was drafted signs:

C (3)- Tinney, Ermis, Courville

INF (6)- Livingston, Duplantier, Becerra, Mendoza, Borba, Rodriguez

OF (6)- Robbins, Williams, Hill, Pack, Petersen, Monsour

RHP (15)- Riojas, Burns, Hamilton, Howard, Flores, McCreery, Grubbs, Crossland, Paris, Furgason, Winter, Westphal, Rogers, Walls, Rummel

LHP (7)- Volantis, Harrison, McKernan, Higgins, Walker, Bing, Leffew

 

That is 37 right there and I'm assuming a few will be considered grandfathered in under the old 40 man roster rules, so I think we have some wiggle room to add some more guys whether it be JUCO/Portal/HS

It isn't under $100k based on what I heard, but it's not enough for me to believe he is making a smart decision.

After taxes and agent fees, they are taking home a check that is significantly less than the number that is dangled in front of them the entire time.
