You clearly have no clue what you are talking about with this opinion. Ben Miller and Derek Burkamper say "what's up".Jake has signed with Houston, and Nebraska loses another underclassmen to a mid-round MLB pick.
If Erstad can't convince his best player to turn down a thirteenth round offer to return for his senior season than this program isn't going anywhere.

We are going to get drilled by the draft this year. Swanda, Alvarado, Swanda, that's 3 big time pitchers gone.That is going to hurt, big time.
That's exactly what I was thinking.You clearly have no clue what you are talking about with this opinion. Ben Miller and Derek Burkamper say "what's up".
If Erstad didn't encourage him to go I think he would be being selfish and not truthful. Meyers has proved what he can in college. For a kid that was told "his bat speed is too slow for college" to get drafted in the 13th round, you take that everyday.That's exactly what I was thinking.
Exactly, no fault in Meyers for taking his shot. And no blame should be pointed Erstad's way for not convincing him to stay. I would love to see Meyers back for another year, but I get that he has to take this shot.If Erstad didn't encourage him to go I think he would be being selfish and not truthful.

I agree. I think we are going to need to show some draft improvement for people to not take it for the next few years. We improved Alvarados draft place, but Miller, Burkamper went down.Exactly, no fault in Meyers for taking his shot. And no blame should be pointed Erstad's way for not convincing him to stay.

Next year may be rough if we don't get a few guys healthy and a few more bought in.
