[QUOTE="GTNavyNuke, post: 225222, member: 322"] OK, earlier I looked at our current players. Now onto the commits and likelihood of not coming to GT. Here are our commits and discussion in order that I think they would be drafted based on talent (if a player says hell no I'm not going to minors, he isn't drafted high). Here's some background first: Based on the study I did of the 2014 draft, first 10 rounds (315 offers) 100% of HS kids drafted went to MLB, next 10 rounds about 80% and 50% thereafter. Of course for the first 10 rounds in 2015 there was the "Hughes Exception" .....
