Anything is possible but knowing his family my bet is he sticks with UNC.

Also, at this stage of the game, agents, scouts, and players are all on the same page about money - "how much would it take to get you to sign?" and "how much are you willing to offer me?" conversations are not the ones you want to have on draft day. Any players I've known or coached that had any draft talks had a great idea on what they'd be offered by most orgs by this point in the process, without fail. If he's moving into the dorm already, as a high school guy whose season has been over for a bit and so likely hasn't changed his stock/leverage much in the last month or so, I'd bet it's a pretty done deal. Weird things *do* happen, maybe some crosschecker or someone comes across his tape/metrics and falls in love enough to really up the offer. But I'd doubt it.
His options are still open, even if he takes summer school classes. He is probably in the middle of those talks and negotiations with orgs right now about draft position and his signing number. Best leverage he can have is taking classes and showing MLB teams he’s serious about enrolling. We’ll just have to wait and see how the draft goes to know if he’ll actually end up playing here. I’d bet if a team does draft him at this point, he will sign.
I feel old. When I was in school, Cobb was all female and Cobb Beach was legendary.
