No way he’s a 1st round pick If he stayed at AFA. Nor would he have signed for $9.3 M and been 1st overall pick and starting in MLB if he had stayed at the Air Force Academy.

He transferred based on the advice of his head coach and his parents so he could focus on his development and baseball. 99% of players and their families would have done the same based on his projections.

The easiest part of a service member at the Academies are sports games and practices. Would you be okay with his decision if he‘d transferred to TN, and propelled TN to a NC in 23?
I originally wanted him to come to Tennessee but after I thought about it, I just don’t agree with other schools poaching kids from service academies. That’s just my belief. Those schools should be treated differently than the rest. If that were my son I would advise against him transferring. You shouldn’t be committing to a service academy school if you think there is even a sliver of a chance you would take a bag in exchange for that. Money isn’t everything in this world and I believe if you commit to one of those service academies you best keep that commitment. I don’t care how much money you get offered.
