Rucker probably gone sadly.

Well, bye bye Carson Rucker. 4th round. He won’t make it to campus.

Congrats Maui.

 

[Weezer]

Braves take another pitcher.

 

[SouthKnoxVOL]

Dickey still not been drafted?

Pretty unfortunate on Rucker. They thought there was a decent chance he would make it in and I think he probably would’ve been the leader for starting SS next year. Good for him though

I’m a little surprised on the Rucker news, not shocked just wasn’t expecting he would be the first.

Or did Detroit take a kid they know they can't pay overslot to sign? They took two high school kids yesterday that probably go for more than slot money? Maybe wishful thinking on my part.

So much for all the people saying Rucker would definitely make it to campus

No - if you don’t sign someone, you lose the pool money for that slot

A @NighthawkVol post had Rucker as the most likely (highest pick) to be drafted among our recruits. #74

 

[vol66]

Knoxville kid!

Not yet. I expect him off the board in Round 5 which is about right for a position-less college hitter.

 

[preacherman20]

I still think Rucker makes it to campus. $250,000 is not life changing money for him. If he gets $500,000 slot value, he will only get half of it. I think it would take more than that to get him not to come to school.

Cam Fisher went to the Astros.
