Draft Damage.

I'm hearing that Dickerson, from Meridian CC is a lock to go pro, both based on the season he had and the fact that observers think he's rather play baseball than go to school.

Can't imagine any of ourcurrent players getting drafted. Not sure about the other signees.

Somebody said Ryan Bolden from Madison Central, who signed with Ole Miss, is projected to go very high. Honestly, I haven't kept up with him like I should have, but they say he has all the tools and is having a great year. Also heard that just about every MLB team has had a scout at his practices, in his home, or watching him hit/run/throw. Sounds like a really good player.

Link to Ryan Bolden article in today's C-L. Observers say he has game that Chamar McDonald didn't have and McDonald (LSU signee - about 2002) went in the 5th round.

and that isn't going to happen.

I hope the kid from Richton goes pro as well, I have been told he is ridiculous.

My brother saw and talked to Corey Dickerson last weekand he told my brother its 50/50 on whether he goes pro or not all based on how high he gets drafted and how much money he gets offered. He also said hewas in Hattiesburg for the MSU/USM baseball game and also that Cohen visited him at his homeWednesday before going down to Baton Rouge.

Dickerson is avery talented player who has tons of potential, and I think that IF he does come to stateyou can pencil him in as a starting outfielder fromday one.
