We knew a very high profile high school prospect who told MLB Clubs up front he was most interested in attending school. He was an almost certain 1st rounder (1.5 to 2.5 million)

Because of his signability situation he was selected later on in that years draft and of course went to college. He now is playing professional baseball, but signed out of college for a fraction of what he could have received out of high school.

Hope the father up in Going Pro forum sees this post by PG. Especially if the prospect could fall in this category.

Shep's theory on this situation: Get the dough while the gettins good
