My guess on why Khaya Wright is not a commitment or signee on Perfect Game, is because he counts against football. The LOI goes in typical NCAA revenue order: 1)Football, 2)Basketball, 3)Baseball, and so on....

Im not sure there is a “so on” after basketball is there? Think it’s just football that takes priority over everything and basketball over everything else that’s not football.

But PG has nothing to do with Football and if he committed, it would show there, I would think. Just odd.

Now is also not listed in PG Recruiting class line up or on PBR commitments. (PBR seems out of sync with 15. PG has 13. and neither has Khaya....

Likely to never make it to campus. Parada.

The draft is in 4 months. He will be able to chose his course. If he wants to go in the draft and they meet his price, he's going straight to the minors. Then onto MLB.

I agree not likely to come to GT since most top 100 HS non -pitchers took the draft money when I checked three years ago.

Paradoxical thing is that if he communicates he's going to college, he won't be drafted high. But it's good to be drafted high and then develop in college. So we get to wait and see.

My rule st work is to watch what people do and not what they say. Applies here.

But he has participated in 23 events and isn’t ranked at all. I don’t see them adding to the 20 class and was shocked they added Logan to the 21 with the corona year issue, which hopefully takes care of itself.

anyone have a membership. I would think we'd have a freshman in there, no?


I do, and I did not see any. Although I noticed that St. John's had the #2 hitter. Don't recall his name, or how he did against us. I left in the 4th inning down 6-0 when it started to rain with a 7.5 hour drive ahead of me though...

And I would recommend doing what D1baseball asks of those who don't have a subscription and can afford to do so:

To see the remainder of the Top 50, please login and subscribe below, and help D1Baseball during a tumultuous time in our sport!

D1Baseball is a tremendous resource. I hesitated subscribing for many years, because I figured I could get what I needed for free from their site or others. Finally caved in last year. I'd hate to see a site like D1baseball not make it because of what economists would call a "black swan event".

Hope baseball comes back sooner, rather than later. Either way, Go Jackets!

Agree and would be awesome, but doubtful.....they're showing enough that if the slot and money is right, they gone.
