Well so much for Brooks Mohr saving the Falcons. He signed with the Mariners for 27th round money. Personally I don't understand this but to each their own.

Especially interesting, since the Mariners didn't even mention it on their "official" website, but are talking about there #1 pick that signed today too, who is also a RHP. I did see the mention in USA Today. I hope he got alot more money than most 27th rounders, because he just lost ALL of his bargaining power.

One player does not a turn around make.

Never easy losing a kid right before school starts. He has some ability, but he would have been smart to go to school. Unless, he signed for $250-300,000.

He signed for $90,000!!!!!!! Barely worth a new car when he pays taxes etc.
A BAD decision in my opinion.

Wow...you don't normally see guys walk away form college for 27th round money...

It is always interesting, because even when the professional team offers to pay for college a LARGE percentage never finish their degree. That is why many time it is a throw in, because they know they probably won't have to pay for it. I don't know if Mohr had that included or not, but it is doubtful as a 27th rounder.
I do know that they (his closest advisor

) said he would not sign for less than $170,000 plus college right after the draft. Ooops!!!

Do you think Coach Brown leaving had anything to do with him signing vs coming to BG? Any news on a new asst coach?

Is there any news on a new pitching/recruiting coach at all?

I believe they are starting the interview process this week with three candidates.
