HuskerHacker Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 I wouldn't call this any more than normal draft attrition. It would be great to be able to keep these guys for their senoir year. The problem is that as a drafted senior you have no leverage when negotiating your signing bonus. Your only option is to sit out a year and get drafted again. As a junior you stand a better chance to get a bigger signing bonus. As a senior you may get drafted higher, but end up signing for less because you have no leverage. I would call this a rumor what conference you play in should not matter at all. Good news is we only lost 2 recruits to the draft, so we should be able to keep our scholarship numbers where they should be. The over-singing limitations of the B1G should have minimal effect. The new rules the MLB put into effect "this year" to cap salary offers to drafted players limits the leverage a kid now has. Part of the reason Bubba had to go when he did is because they (his agent and family/advisers) new the new salary cap was coming and he'd lose 1000's (probably millions) of dollars by playing college for 3 years.

flatwaterfan Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Well my guess was wrong, but we still have a good chance to retain Christensen. With his brother on the team I think that helps. Quote Link to comment
