[John Cocktolstoy]

Who was the genus that said it was a “far gone conclusion long ago that he was coming here” I love those know it alls that state things with such authority but don’t know Jack.

Maybe he was coming here until the WhiteSox offered him bigger than UDFA money. Drew had no clue they would not draft him yet pay him mid draft money. $ always changes folks thinking.

Like I said the top rounds guys will get the attention. He got 11th round money. His contract paid the same money as guys that were drafted in the 11th round in the 20 round draft. He will not be treated any differently than anyone drafted in rounds 11-20. It is a long shot for everyone drafted. It would have been a long shot for him next year to if he goes to school one more year and then take that shot. Kid is taking a leap of faith and no better time than now to do it. Chances are with the 3rd player that got involved he wasn't coming here anyway.

Anything would of been a “risk”. Heck coming here would of been a risk. Who knows…he may have never developed any further here, there or anywhere. I wish the best for him. I just know how free agents are viewed in pro ball. They dont always get a fair shake. No doubt he has the opportunity to be coached at a little higher level. It is what it is.

Until we get a true pitching coach we will never get upper end prospects.

Damn I thought this was 20 years in the making. Preordained by the omnipotent JMV. Might want to get some new little birdies

What the ____ are you talking about? I never once said he was coming to UL. Try again. I said if he was going the college route he narrowed it down to UL or UCF as his final two picks. I swear folks like you need to learn some reading comprehension.

I went back and looked at the beginning of the thread. No claims he was coming here, just speculation. Closest was Cavic saying that we were getting 2 transfers from Ole Miss.

There were some post in this thread early on that were removed by the moderator. One guy who often pretends to be a know it all on this board said it was a “far gone conclusion for weeks that Drew was coming here”

I can vouch for you that is what you said. But actually in the last week if he had not gone pro he probably wouldn't have gone to UCF or UL as new player came in late with a full ride scholarship plus a very lucrative NIL deal which UL couldn't match and was to good to pass up.

It wasn't you.

In post 2 MAT said one word. yes.

In post 21 someone took umbrage with yes.

Vic said their would be transfers

Jay said there would be, but the "fore gone, foregone, far gone stuff started after Jay said it was NOT a foregone conclusion. here

What a silly place this is.
