Houston finally had their first player taken in Trey Cumbie, so either they are a team of Seniors or maybe I missed something but I would think Houston would have guys going before Memphis.....

Villar is gone. 11th round is going to be $150k bonus, minimum. 

Only 11% of players drafted in Rounds 11-20 reach the big leagues. Hope he saves/invests that signing bonus.

Sure, but he can still make a decent living in the minors, no?

At least comparable to being a bank branch manager, etc. Somewhere around 60-70 K/ year?

They get paid peanuts in the Minor Leagues, most guys have to work 2nd and 3rd jobs in the offseason.

Signee Pablo Garabitos is the first in the class to be picked - end of the 25th round, 755 overall to the Brewers.

  • Quotes

    "There is no inherent fear among this group of players. The fear of failing drove the program from day one - the fear of failing the coaches, the fan base, the university, each teammate, themselves. Now, as we head into the biggest game in our history at home on a national stage against the highest ranked team to step on OUR field, the players are taking an introspective look at themselves. Unfortunately, I don't know if they get it. They lack the fear."

    Terry Lucas, 09/26/22

    "For me, I never considered it that way (as a stepping stone), honestly. When I was offered the head job at South Florida, and I'm sincere about this, I never thought I would ever go anywhere."
