$250 grand, is that all...
a TCU education is worth almost that. Dude should have waited and see his worth in a couple of years after a stellar career in Fort Worth.

He only would have been here two years, so not worth almost 250K. Also, you can safely assume that Cleveland is paying for the rest of his school on top of the bonus.

Good for him. Schotz was a cool dude. Was surprised he didn't get pulled away as an assistant faster. A loss for the program.
Yep, late Sunday we will all know the makeup of the roster, minus walkons, for 2012.
As for Schotz, it was going to happen. Most people expected it. Not the biggest loss for TCU, VT has to step up a bit and the staff will be just fine.

I don't know anything about this kid in particular, but after having spent a fair amount of time recently around some JUCO baseball players there aren't many who would pass up the contract in favor of 2 years in a D1 school. Short sighted IMO for the most part, but these are 20 year old kids after all.

There are absolutely exceptions, but there is a reason many of these kids go to JC in the first place.
Quick update:
Mariners signed their third round comp pick, a HS RHP, for $500k. This will set the stage for a Cron signing soon, if it isn't already done.
$1 Million+ bonus is expected.
Cron hinted already tonight on Twitter that something is indeed in motion.
Sigh.......
For all this but faster remember to follow me on Twitter @FungoFrogTCU
And I am cataloging all my updates in blog form over at the Around the Diamond blog all this week.

I dont' quite understand all of baseball recruiting and whatnot, but can high level recruiting actually hurt you when all your recruits sign? It seems like we are getting killed by all our recruits signing. Obviously, it's great when a Purke decides to come play ball but that doesn't happen often.
It's a part of college baseball life.

That is whay killed LSU for a few years. They always had a top class, but they had signed players who were expected to be drafted in top 3 rounds and go pro.
Sucks Wink signed.

Someone on twitter said Cron just moved into TCU dorms this morning. Drove from Phoenix to do it.
Doesn't mean his parents and advisor aren't still negotiating a deal. He is ensuring his backup plan is solid, he could go to school but it is still iffy.

Oh I know. I know he still has a good chance to sign and he is probably just doing this as leverage to show he is okay with not signing. But still nice to see.
