I had to Google who you were talking about.

Class of 2027 is a long way away for MLB prospects.
Nation's top 2027 LHP Connor Salerno excited to be a Bulldog
After being recruited by some of the top teams in the country, LHP Connor Salerno couldn't pass up Mississippi State.

Thought you were talking about the Italian Campaign in WWII***
If we can get close to his signing bonus, I think he comes to campus. If we're not willing to put up the dough.....he go. To get a big time lefty, I'd be willing to look for some serious NIL money somewhere.
Personally I'd like an update on draft day '27 please sir and let us know how it turns out. Until then, he's not on my radar
97/98 mph fastball lefty with control of 3 pitches which apparently makes him a top 10 prospect. If that is accurate and it holds, we don't have that much NIL. Nice recruiting though.
Yea we have about a good of a chance of signing him as we would a lefty throwing 103. oh wait...
I wouldn't be surprised under this coaching if State starts to get more guys to campus that could've been drafted high. Completely anecdotal and not based on any research from their UVA classes. Just something I do think could happen. Not saying this kid specifically makes it to campus, but I think we're going to be on the right side of the draft more under this staff.

Remember, Bauer's control wasn't there and that kept him out of the 1st round. Supposedly, Solerno doesn't have the control issues. I'm preparing myself for him to go pro and will be pleasantly surprised if he makes it to campus.
I do agree that I think we will start hanging onto more high end signees than in the past.

I don't have the metrics in front of me, but I bet historical data shows that the chances of the #1 HS LHP actually going to college to be pretty low.
Historical data did not include NIL...at least almost all of that history. If we're gonna play that game (NIL), then the smart move is to give him an attractive NIL, but more importantly, give him an insurance policy that pays out the kind of money he'd get for his projected draft slot.
One thing MLB money alone can never buy is the joy of playing college ball at a premier program, especially ours...an experience like no other. If we guarantee the kid's financial future, we can offer an experience he could never get if he goes MLB instead.
