Being 2nd day of the 2014 draft I would assume the scouts to being extremely busy. I watched a portion of the draft last night, 1 minute between rounds isn’t a lot of time but made for great TV. Unfortunately I fell asleep in the chair 30 minutes after I sat down!
My wife has been texting a friend who is anxiously waiting for the day’s festivities to begin. Her son is projected for rounds 3-10, Big range but an exciting day for the young man and his family.
A question I have concerns drafting of a player with college eligibility remaining. From looking at some old topics concerning “advisors”. Who actually do the players turn to for help? Do they receive advise from current college coaches, potential agents, or others??
Can a player possibly lose eligibility over talking to the wrong person? I think this happened to a player in the last year or so. Or do you have to actually sign an agreement with an agent to lose eligibility.
With all of the new pre draft slotting of salaries, has this lessened the need for advisors for Juniors?
