Nothing is official yet, and there's still several weeks (July 15) before the deadline for draftees to sign, but confidence in Aaron Perry showing up on campus is starting to dwindle. He was drafted by Boston in the 14th round (No. 431 overall).
We'll see what happens. I reached out to him for an interview and he didn't respond. Apparently he's not talking to many people outside of his family right now. Some scouts I talked to were adamant that he'd go to school because of his size (5'10, 175) but it sounds like the idea of playing pro ball right now might lure him away.
IMO he'd be a tough loss to UK's class. One, he's very talented and is definitely a future weekend guy if he were to go to college. But the bigger reason it would be a big loss is because mostly everyone I talked to this spring thought he'd go to school, especially after the stress fracture in his elbow. Like I said, nothing official yet and there's still plenty of time for things to change. Just wanted to give an update on the latest I've heard.
