I don't expect Aschenbeck to get a waiver based on similar requests

I think all 3 were for JC. Schott went to JC before Columbia.
Aschenbeck and Chestnut were for JC exemptions. Schott was for the Ivy League 2021 season when the Ivy League decided to mask up and not play for another year; I believe he was a red shirt in JC. Appel apparently did not apply for his.
Thanks Ackar. Perfectly summed up.

Not a coincidence at all that more and more kids are choosing college. The shortened draft, the continued improvement of the college game, and the reduction of MiLB spots/teams. Not to mention the quality of life at many schools versus low-level pro-ball. Love to see it.

Whos gone and who likely stays? Also the recruiting class?

also good thing we are saving Evan for 2026. He was used too much last year imo.

It seems like a no brainer for a kid to play in the SEC with NIL. You play against the best competition, get a fan base that loves you, and make money while doing it.

Even if everyone signs it looks like the Ags didn't get hurt by the draft to much

We are gonna have almost a full recruiting class make it to campus

For those asking about the extra year waiver, here is what I found...
https://ncaaorg.s3.amazonaws.com/compliance/d1/2021D1SAR_Covid19SOCExtensionEligibility.pdf

The year in question is Spring 2021.

Schott's waiver should be a slam dunk because the Ivy league canceled the season.

If we go through the criteria for Aschenbeck, it's more difficult to get there. All of the following have to be "Yes"

1) Institution or conference canceled or suspended season due to COVID-19; - Yes. Blinn had 7 games cancelled/suspended because of COVID Blinn schedule
2) Student Athlete used season - Yes. Evan pitched and used a season of eligibility.
3) Student Athlete did not compete in more than 30% of maximum permissible contests/dates of competition; - Yes. Evan pitched in 9 games. (2021 Blinn stats - Evan was #23 I think) The maximum allowable is 17. This may be cheating because he's a pitcher, but that's how I understand the rule as written.
4) Student Athlete was eligible for competition; - Yes as far as I can tell
5) Student Athlete and team end competition by selection date for NCAA championship and do not compete in postseason competition - No??? Blinn's season ended May 8 in the Region XIV North tournament. Evan threw 8.0 IP 0 R in a game they won. My understanding is this is the JUCO equivalent to a regional. Maybe there is a technicality I'm missing as the table appears to be more directed toward NCAA student athletes.

I vote this thread becomes the signing tracker thread.

It will. I add those to the op as I find them. You can see what I did in the previous versions of the thread in the links at the bottom of the op.

I know this isn't Aggie related, but have been talking to some of the Royals front office team about Cags and then came across this video on Twitter.

This was easily one of the best baseball drafts for college players, so many studs. But I have a tough time believing that there are 5 better players than Cags. He hits for contact and power. Walks a ton, rarely strikes out. Possesses a huge frame but can get down the 1st base line in a hurry. Already has Gold Glove caliber defense at 1st.

Some of the guys that went ahead of him were very productive, but they weren't carrying their teams like Cags did. He continued to produce when the lights shined brightest, clearly a winner. Royals have to be thrilled with the way things fell for them.

If I'm playing devel's advocate, the reason Cag fell is likely because of his 44% chase rate on pitches outside of the zone. That's something that can be corrected, but it's an ugly stat.

The rational for chase rate was that he wasn't getting much to swing at because teams pitched around him.

When it comes to players from the DR, there was a saying, "You won't get off the island by walking." Players from the DR knew hitting HRs would get more attention than a 100% OBP from Walks.

IMO, the discipline will come now that he isn't trying to get drafted.

Another point... watch what players ahead of him sign for compared to Slot. At least 1 player was drafted ahead of him because he would sign for less than Slot which allows the team to direct that money to another player.

Cincy and Oak... maybe even CWS might have talked to players/agents to see what they would sign for. A lower signing allows them to entice players to sign instead of returning/going to college.

Lets hope we do too. Another lights out pitching season for him with most of the old crew still in place would likely increase his draft stock next draft.
