Yes, they were. I remember Tyler Black.

Kid put on a freaking show at LNS.

4 for 5 with 2 HRs.

I cringed everytime he came to bat Wright State's Tyler Black Adds 'Accidental' Power With Newfound Approach

 

[TN_gal]

Would be a huge win to get him here!

I wonder how 3 years of NIL money compares to what these kids negotiate from the draft. Like what would an average ball player in the SEC make and what slot value does that equate to

It will only help them. Getting Spikes AND Burns would be MASSIVE. My word.

Yea, he wore out his welcome in Knoxville.

I wish him nothing but success else where.

Yes, I held my breath every time he stepped to the plate.

Glad when Wright State lost to Duke the next day.

All the best to him as he begins his pro career.

Second round is complete. No Burns.

 

[txbo]

I noticed Soularie still hasn't made his pro debute.

Anybody have any word on what the issue is?

We're nearing the halfway point for the 3rd round and still no Burns or Spikes. The best case scenario is looking increasingly likely. Fingers crossed.

I did not enjoy it when he was killing us, but in retrospect I was quite pleased with the dramatic conclusion that it led to...

Apparently he's out with an undisclosed injury.

That is awesome!

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Woah. Kopps to the Padres. Round 3 is far higher than I thought he would go. Good for him.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Ryan Spikes to the Rays. Damn.

[Pacer92]

Spikes goes in 3rd round, #100 overall to Tampa Bay...

I saw that. Just wondering what the heck it is.

 

[Volunteer08]

I can't believe Burns is going to be on campus. Holy ****

Securing Burns is incredible. Spikes is in that 50/50 territory, but I have to believe with him sending out that tweet it means something. Why do it otherwise? All eyes on him now.

 

[Ryno14]

Gotta imagine Spikes is signing at that spot, but his tweet earlier made it seem like he was going to stay. Guess we'll see. Rays are a great landing spot for him if so.

Jinx.

This couldn’t have really played out any better, Spikes has a decision to make.

My other take away, so many SEC players have gone, it speaks to the job this coaching staff did this year.

GBO!!!

It's pretty incredible that we won the SEC East, made the SEC Tournament Final, won 50 games, and made it to Omaha but will not have a single rostered player drafted until the 4th round at the EARLIEST while the rest of the SEC has guys taken like candy. Imagine what Vitello can do if we get the "talent" on Rock Top.
