Message: [QUOTE="UConnSportsGuy, post: 2740731, member: 323"] It will be interesting to see what happens in the draft with Cate. Even coming into the season, there were questions from scouts about his long-term durability given his size and TJ surgery in HS. With the forearm injury this year and so much of the season lost, it could get interesting. Coming in to the season, there was a 99.9% chance that this would be his last season in Storrs. It is still a 98% chance that he is gone, but it could be interesting. What if the injury concerns push him into the 3rd-4th round and the drafting team tries to give him 8th/10th round money given his injury (trying to get him on the cheap given the injury and to try to save money for some above-round money to get other high school players to sign). Would he think about using his leverage of having another college season to come back healthy and get back to the 1st round if his drafting team is playing games? Again, not likely, but it could be an option (ala what Mark Appel did a few years ago). I hope for Tim's sake he is a 2nd round pick and gets what he deserves, but we will see. [/QUOTE]
