My point guys is why would you go anywhere else to play baseball than Stanford? You get to play in a Top 5 program and you might mess around and get possibly the best degree in the country if the baseball thing doesn't work out.

And I can confirm he's a player. Just spoke with a PAC baseball coach and he said... stud.

 

[Irish#1]

Let's see. Get drafted and get a nice salary and signing bonus for throwing a ball, or go to college and fight off guys trying to knock you down while throwing your body at someone for three years with risk to injury and no pay (SEC exception)?

Yep, FB at ND it is.

Yeah, I was like... are these guys so young that they don't know what "a maroon" is.

Of course THEN #1 shows up. Should've used a Charlie Chaplin gif for him.

I'd go to Stanford for baseball for sure, all things being equal. However Florida tends to get its share of pitchers as well. Their staff a couple of years ago was 3-4 deep, with multiple 1st rounders. As you get lower and lower on the list of NCAA sports (in terms of funding), the coaching staff increases in importance. How the heck did Indiana get the nation's premier soccer program and swimming program (this is some time ago, I don't know if it's still the case, think Mark Spitz)? They hired the best coach in the country for each sport.

Right. Unless money is not an issue for his family, I’d go where I can stack scholarships and get as much paid for as possible. If he wants an elite college education paid for, he needs to sign as a football prospect to a program that will allow him to play baseball.

Vandy does the best job getting kids a seemingly full ride. They found a loophole with endowment or something that can subsidizes what the 1/11th of a scholarship (for example) they get.

True...especially a pitcher when you consider Stanford’s history. However, he can get the team that drafts him to agree to pay his tuition to the college of his choice as part of his contract.

Really depends on the money he’s offered from MLB if drafted. I have buddies who didn’t get drafted high that regretted not going the college route. But the ones who got huge bonus money had no regrets.

Puleeeze child. I'm not that ancient. I grew up watching Bugs, Daffy, Yosemite Sam and Foghorn while your mom and dad were doing the Hokey Pokey trying to make a little Cruz.

That's All Folks!

Karsten Whitson, speaking of Florida pitchers, was drafted in the 1st rd out of HS and went the college route. His shoulder disagreed and he's a coach now.

I was going to post this when it came up but forgot. I believe it was Freeman at ISD that said he decommitted from Stanford baseball BTS. Didn’t post it to Twitter or any social media. Although, it’s doubtful we have space for him when he’s ready to decide.

 

[NDIrish88]

Yeah seems like spots gonna be gone quick.

signed with LSU for baseball

 

[BobbyMac]

Doesn't look like he'll make it to LSU. The MLB.com mock has him going #17 to the Phillies

LSU's Jay Johnson almost pulled off the wire to wire win by offering him in 7th grade when he was the Arizona HC and getting him to sign with LSU.

Will always be in my Hudl Hall of Fame with Jake Ratzlaff & Tackett Curtis.

 

[Luckylucci]

Truly awesome for the young man. What kind of money does that pay these days?

Damn, that’s almost NIL money right there.
