Schools are guaranteeing 3rd-party NIL, collectives are paying recruits & $50M frontloaded rosters are here. As the NIL clearinghouse is mired in legalities, Big 12 coaches say cap circumvention is happening. “People are lying & promising fake things.” yhoo.it/44RwnZj

Reid with another solid start for his Texas Twelve ‘27 Maroon team, this time a shutout at Lupton Stadium! (5 2/3 IP, 5K, 4H, 0R), up to 89mph! Kid is having a great summer! Fun to see him on that field. Reid Traeger Texas Twelve Recruiting

The amount of HS players selected in the MLB draft has been interesting. I have to imagine a big reason is that the teams can get these kids below slot and save money across the board for later rounds.

Other factor is that incoming freshman generally aren’t playing at larger programs in D1 (there are exceptions 😉) and they may see this as a business decision. See Georgia…not one of their freshman from last year remain, all in the portal (highly recruited guys).

Hey MLB please reach out to the NFL about how to manage and promote your draft! It's crazy that there was nobody in the auditorium during the 3rd round last night and there is ZERO coverage today, NOT EVEN A TICKER on MLB Network . Do better promoting your incoming talent.

The amount of money that MLB teams pay to seniors is ridiculous. Here’s $2,500 against a slot value of $300k, and nothing they can do. Seems like this system is screwed up, doesn’t it? No other sport does this.
