@RJM posted:Caden Dana is a perfect example of the exception I mentioned. If slot money is used properly the extra can used used to draft a top prospect high school player late and talk him out of playing college ball.
One of my son’s travel teammates was a potential first round pick. New declared um,ess offered $X he was heading to a top ranked program. He was selected in the third round by a team with an extra compensation pick. They offered X-200K. The kid signed at 11:59pm on the deadline day. Unfortunately he was as injury prone as a pro as he was in high school.
Quick question, do you think a draft choice selected in rounds 6-10 with no eligibility should get at least a 25% of the slot bonus?
It really sucks to see those guys get enough money for 1 month rent.
