What are the chances he sets foot on campus?

How high will he be drafted and how much does his family value education? How much does he want to avoid those Rookie League and Single A bus rides and ultra cheap motels, month after month?

Major College Baseball is much more fun, and much less draining, than minor league baseball until you get to AA. And MCB does prepare people to play AA ball because it is roughly that good.

My guess would be high. If he's getting a signing bonus worth a few million, school will be easy to pay for down the road.

This kid is most likely going to get a signing bonus of well over $1 million. Unless he has a disappointing senior season and his draft stock drops a lot, I can't see him playing college baseball. Would love to see someone of his caliber at UNC, but we need to be looking for another center fielder in the class of '23.

See Vance Honeycutt..I dont know much but if VH stays on present trajectory he goes top 10 in his draft..WHAT A NIL MONEY?
