I was doing all of this hunting, keeping tabs on who’s going, who’s staying and who’s on the fence … then found Chad Ford. Here’s what makes this list so comical: 48 players. Forty-eight of the 60 draft spots are being attempting to be spoken for by underclassmen. Throw in the helping of seniors who will be drafted and another five-to-eight foreign guys that will be plucked by someone, and you’re going to have a bunch of jokes on your hands. Half of the guys in the waiting-to-sign-with-an-agent pool need to wise up now, get back to school and work on their stock for next year’s draft, which will probably be a little weaker.
