Update on Baseball Recruits That Got Draft

[Dawgs'n'Grizz]

I noticed that Quentin Holmes still hasn't signed with the Indians. Do we have any chance of him coming to school? Also, how are we looking with the other kids such as Hutchinson and Reed?

Reed signed earlier this week. Holmes is negotiating but hasn't signed yet. Would be one of the biggest surprises I can remember if he came to school. Hutchinson is still up in the air, I think.

I expect all three to go pro.

Bacon hasn't signed either, has he? Not that I'm expecting a miracle.

Seems like our best chance is Hutchinson, but most believe that's a long shot.

Anderson, Hatcher, Allen and Bryant got drafted too, but nobody talks about them because it was in later rounds. Even still, when is the last time we could look at a freshman class on hailstate.com, and see "Draft History" beneath 4 of our incoming freshmen? That means something.

2016: Skelton
2015: Marrero, Padgett, Zinn
2014: none
2013: Humphreys, Hudson

Happened at Ole Miss last year, and people are talking about how it was the greatest class of all time.

Someone drafted that high? Absolutely not. MLB teams have made a point especially in recent years due to slot bonuses to ensure they are drafting and signing all their first 10 round picks. If you're in the top 10 they draft you there because they think you're signing.
