bbscout a number of players were not drafted not because they lacked talent, because they were unsignable, saying they were gonna attend college or were too good of student.

How many players signed to go to Stanford, Duke or Ivy league colleges get drafted, very few if they are way down the line, because they almost always go to college.

Kris Benson was bypassed in the draft out of HS, because he told people he was heading to Clemson, went 1st overal his junior year.
Benson could have been drafted in the 10 rd by the red sox, but he told them dont bother i want to attend college first.
