2005 draft Illinois

SI...Considering he hasn't played this past season, what have you heard?

I know he has been out with a knee injury but there is one scouting director who thinks he is the best SS in the Chicago area. It's not 100% that they will draft him, but a decent possibility.

How many rounds are there in the draft? I have seen scouts at some of the games I attended but they did not talk to anyone. Do kids get drafted that are not expecting it?

i believe there are 50 rounds to the draft.

Kevin Hoef is rumored to go anywhere from 5th round to 10th. I know we have had 12 or more scouts at most of our practices and then had a couple of games were there were 15-20. We have even had practices were the scouts filled up our visitor's dugout. I know that Kevin has his scholarship to fall back on and so, I think some might just let him go to college instead and track him from there. It is nice knowing that he has an education to either way.

SI...I've watched Dino play for 3 years, including some summer games with UDC.

Has been to our house several times.

Sure he would be pleasantly surprised to be drafted.

He will be playing with us this summer and cant wait to have him down here. He will be a great addition. As far as the draft goes I have heard it from more than one person.

Where is Smalley Expected to go? If expected

does anyone have an idea about pat mcmahon's draft status? he's a junior that played for carmel and hit .400 this year for nortwestern.
