Message: [QUOTE="dbmill, post: 3523158, member: 2504"] Part of the problem here is that there is the expectation that certain players would be expected to move on to the pro ranks once they become draft eligible, usually after their junior year. Penders mentioned that under normal circumstances that he expected about 6 or 7 players would be taken in the MLB draft. With the truncated draft that is likely going to happen this summer, a number of these players won't be drafted. So scholarship money that would probably be freed up by players going pro is not going to happen. These young players on the roster that Penders alluded to no doubt felt a scholarship squeeze between players not going pro as expected and incoming recruits coming in for next season. [/QUOTE]
