Sorry for asking

- Start date
he told Genespage he wasn’t going to do anything until after the CWS (presumably until we have a coach announcement).

Your punishment is to have that stuck in your head all day.
I think it's a great sign he's putting this much thought into it even if it doesn't work out.
Don't know him at all, but I've heard everything from "He really wants to come to State" to "He never intended to come to State. He would go to JUCO for a year before he came to State".
The latter doesn't appear to be true. Him coming is still unlikely, but it's encouraging that he is holding out. Did he get drafted as a pitcher or position player?

If you were 19 years old which would you choose:
Door A: the college experience
Door B: $2.25 million cash
Door A: the college experience
Door B: $2.25 million cash
Door C: Take the $2.25M and if baseball doesn't work out, walk through Door A as a still fairly young guy. With no student loans. Can you imagine if you were a millionaire in college?
This would be the no brainer, except I don't think you can insure against just not being as good as people thought.
For getting that stuck in my head when I did nothing wrong I feel I must retaliate...
Blame it on the rain that was falling, falling
Blame it on the stars that shine at night
Whatever you do
Don't put the blame on you
Blame it on the rain, yeah-yeah
You can blame it on the rain
Very little chance I would have made it out of college alive if I had that much money. Lucky I made it out alive as a broke college kid.
Door C: The college experience followed by $2.5 million cash.
Yeah, I know, a bird-in-hand, etc. I may well have chosen Door B. Invested wisely, that's enough to retire on already. But if I'm one of those kids able to get drafted that high and paid that much, there's a damn good chance I'm still gonna be in demand...maybe for even more, after a year, two or three in college.
I also know that stats show I have a greater chance of actually making a big-league roster if I go to college than I do trying to make it through the minors as a HS signee.
But again...$2.25 million is really, really hard to pass on. I'd also have to consider, as a baseball player, what price do I place on what most acknowledge as the most fun time I'd ever have as a ball-player. Pro baseball is a ruthless business. College baseball looks so much more fun, especially compared to playing in the minors. I imagine there's a much greater chance of developing deep, sincere friendships in college vs pros.
There's a lot to give up in skipping college that money can't buy.

Oh, it's on Mother Truckers...
He never stopped to worry what the next day would bring
Because the girls would sing:
Rock me Amadeus,
Amadeus, Amadeus, Amadeus,
Amadeus, Amadeus, Amadeus,
Oh oh oh Amadeus.
But you would have left college knowing what it was like to sleep with half the Phi Mu sorority at one time.
If any college kid doesn't get the experience of rounding up nickels and pennies so he can go to "Drinkin' with Lincoln" is he REALLY a college kid?
