Message: [QUOTE="dbmill, post: 3175505, member: 2504"] It's highly unlikely that any junior that gets taken in the MLB draft will end up coming back for their junior year. In my early years of following UConn baseball, I used to get my hopes that some would come back, but I got tired of getting disappointed by the inevitable signing that in the case of Max McDowell came just minutes before the deadline to sign. Now I take a different view, that UConn is doing something right when these juniors go to the pros, it is simply a badge of honor for the UConn baseball program. As for the players themselves, they worked hard and deserve to reap the reward that is bestowed on them. On the off chance that they do return for their senior year, I just take it as a very unexpected but welcome surprise. [/QUOTE]
