Another recruiting blunder. What a mess.
Boras got a fourth rounder a first rounder payday. Good for Rio.
Another dagger to a beaten down program who need hitters in the worst way next season. Unreal giving a 4th rounder that kind of bonus who is coming off a major medical issue. Ruiz verbals as a sophomore his love for the Trojans which is a worthless gesture by a kid at that age. Two out of four big recruits have signed with the pros so far.
This happens at every school, you have to beat the bushes for kids who are overlooked and coach em up and also get 1 and done JC kids at schools like USC
