Message: [QUOTE="Stainmaster, post: 1374240, member: 5260"] Yes, he was ranked as a Top 400 draft prospect by Baseball America. I'm inclined to agree with you on him itching to get drafted next year, but there's also another possibility that's a little less appealing to us as UConn fans; maybe he intends on using San Jacinto as a springboard to a national powerhouse program. As Medic said, SJ is a top Juco, so maybe he wants to use next year to show himself off to coaches from bigger programs in the ACC/Big 12 that wouldn't have been exposed to him while he was in HS. Granted I (and many of us here) are extremely pleased with what Penders has done to make UConn baseball appeal to the Northeastern US's HS crop -- but we inherently stand very little chance of competing with a Texas or a Clemson-type school head-to-head. Just my two cents. [/QUOTE]
