[QUOTE="GTNavyNuke, post: 658117, member: 322"] First, welcome to the board. Most of us ([I]the few[/I], the proud GT baseball fans) look for scraps of info. I've read your other posts and appreciate whatever you can post without causing contention on the team. The GT baseball media presence is minimal. We used to have a great announcer, Wiley Ballard who was a lot of fun to listen to. We'll see if he's back this year. Concerning UVa and their red shirting. That strategy only makes sense for the player who develops late and is drafted in his 4th year. To go to your final year and be draft eligible is financially awful given the MLB business model. Both [USER=2843]@FredJacket[/USER] and I love UVa. I'm in Virginia and that is where my kids would have gone if they stayed in state (but went to GT and Kettering). They both are doing just fine. GT education is very good and it is much harder to get in than it used to be. But once in, the graduation rate is high. I know you said that your son will go for sure to GT, but everyone has their price. If he is offered a $3M signing bonus, it would be hard to say no. But easy if it's only a few $100K. Most Top 100 players go to minors, an exception is Vandy who tends to keep their Top 100 players. The trade off here is less money for three years but a great development program and much better lifestyle than the minors being at GT. The plan for being drafted as a Jr is of course optimal. Go to MLB and come back to get the degree. We have lots of players who have done that (i.e. Calvin Johnson comes to mind). Stanford has a great academic reputation but I thought there were easier majors there (not quite ND's Arts and Letters but similar.) Stanford's 6 year graduation rate is 95%. It is all what you son wants. Given your position as a father of a team player, I agree you have to be careful in what you say. Most of us here aren't limited. Our recruiting has done much better lately, here's the average points per player, and class ranking by average points; I do think a lot of the improvement is due to Ramsey and Borrell. 2017 - 18th, 5.15 avg points per player 2018 - 18th, 5.00 avg points per player 2019 - 24th, 5.05 avg points per player (high overall class ranking of 4th due to size) 2020 - 14th, 7.08 avg points per player (2 top 100) 2021 - 8th, 8.30 avg points per player (3 top 100). Of course, this will change as players commit and decommit or go to the draft. But the future is bright. [/QUOTE]
