It'd be hard for me to pass that up, but you'd think with 3 good years with Jorn and with the rate of inflation for salaries like it is, he very likely could have had a 7 figure offer as a junior.
or he could have torn up his elbow and got zero run support. Get that money son! If he flames out he's got money in the bank to start up a business.

Hentges got 700K + a 160k scholarship plan.
In other news, I hadn't realized that Dillon Howard, who signed for 1.85 million ($545,400 was slot value) as a second rounder out of HS and was a Hog signee, has already retired.
He was busted for PED's in minor league testing so got hit with the 50 games suspension and racked up a near 8 ERA in AZ fall league in his career.

Most guys who sign out of HS never pan out unless they're like super prospects.

2010 class
Justin O'Conner (1st round - 1.025 mil) has a cannon arm to gun down runners but has terrible K rate and has only made it to A+ ball.
Ben Wells (7th round - 530k) is still in A+ ball and has a 4+ ERA.
Robbie Ray has made the majors after being (12th round pick -got 800k in old bonus system) by the Nationals was traded to Tigers for Doug Fister.
Jared Lakind (23rd round - 400k) struggled so much hitting that they are trying to save his career by putting him on the mound.
Stanek, Astin, Suggs, Sanburn, Moore, Bosco, Ficociello and Fisher were all in this class that are now playing minor league ball.
2011 class
Brandon Nimmo (1st round - 2.1 mil) has recently been called up to AA.
Michael Fulmer (Comp A - 937.5k) is in A+ ball with a 4.8 ERA in 56 innings.
Howard retired. (2nd round - 1.85 mil)
Greg Bird (5th round - 1.1 mil) is in A+ ball had 20 homers last year in single A.
Anderson, Oliver and Gunn were drafted. Current players Serrano, Spoon and Simpson also from this class. Many transferred out like Costello, Milhorn, Reyes, Masters, Ramirez and Reeves.
2012 class
Teddy Stankiewicz (2nd round) decided to go to JUCO for a year instead signing.
D'Vone McClure (4th round - 765k) hitting .167 in A- ball after hitting .218 in rookie ball last year.
Ty Buttrey (4th round - 1.3 mil) has 11 ERA in A ball this year with 4 starts.
Shilo McCall (9th round - 200k) hitting .185 in A- ball this year after hitting .235 last year.
Beeks only player drafted so far. Current players Killian, Poche, Baxendale, McAfee, Alberius, Lowery and Rucker all in this class. Transfers out include Farris, Schwanke and Barnett.
2013 class
Teddy Stankiewicz (2nd round - 1.1 mil) has 3.39 ERA in A ball.
Jon Denney (3rd round - 875k) hit .203 in rookie ball last year. Hasn't played this year after his second arrest. Went to a rehab program.
Garrett Gordon (23 round - less than 100k) hitting .238 in A- ball after .257 last year in rookie.
Benintendi, Jackson, Stone, Taccolini Eagan, Brown, Gosser, Teague, Wilkerson all in this class.
2014 class
Sam Hentges (4th round - 700k).
Looks like Hogs will get the rest of the class to campus including McKinney, Bonfield, Ramirez, Wiggins, Patten, Grieshaber, Spanberger, Pate, Fant, Hammel, Benninghoff and the JUCO guys.

Nimmo moved up to AA because Matt Reynolds got called up to AAA. Thought that was kinda funny
Posted on 6/23/14 at 8:40 am to gohogs141
So who will end up transferring out? We probably only have 3-4 spots with 6-7 players needing the spots.
Posted on 6/23/14 at 9:16 am to Hogwall Jackson
Nice to know the team that beat us out of our regional is in the finals
Posted on 6/23/14 at 6:34 pm to hawgfaninc
Mark Clark has been encouraged to go to JUCO to get some innings and at-bats.
Also read we parted ways with Trent Hill.
Expect more not to make it to campus.
We are at like 52 and have to be down to 35 and only 27 get money.

Well Colin Poche won't be playing next year so cross him off the rotation...had TJ surgery
Posted on 6/25/14 at 9:29 pm to gohogs141
Poche probably won't be coming back
Posted on 7/11/14 at 10:30 am to RazorHawg
Perfect game rates hogs baseball class #2 after the draft signings took place.
Posted on 7/11/14 at 11:08 am to Hogwall Jackson
Is there a link to the full list?
Posted on 7/11/14 at 11:16 am to gohogs141
Here is the top 10. Keep in mind this is just high school kids, this does not include JUCO or other transfers.
Posted on 7/11/14 at 11:19 am to Hogwall Jackson
That's pretty exciting.

Arkansas Signees in Summer Ball
Luke Bonfield – Martha’s Vineyard Sharks (Futures League)
Bonfield’s average dropped (.559 to .483), but he had an extremely productive week for the Sharks to close out the regular season. In six games, he went 9-for-24 with two triples, three home runs, nine RBI and six runs scored. His hitting streak was snapped after 12 games with an 0-for-3 game Friday.
In the Sharks’ first playoff game, Bonfield struggled at the plate, going 0-for-3 with three strikeouts.
Here is his final regular season stat line: 14 G, 28-for-58 (.483 avg.), 6 2B, 2 3B, 6 HR, 23 RBI, 13 R, 6 BB, 9 K, .523 OBP, .966 SLG
Time to fap, boys.

Yeah, Bonfield is the real deal, we will have a fantastic outfield next year, best in a long time.
More excited about McKinney though, he's going to be a Stanek like shut down top SEC Friday night starter with the quickness. So glad he said he wouldn't sign for any less than 7 figures and fell into our lap despite a 2nd round pick projection. You don't get that lucky often, especially us, we usually lose all of our top commits to the draft.
For comparison's sake, even with how crazy good Bonfield is, he is Baseball America's #32 player that did not sign.
McKinney is #8.
He has a NASTY Triple A ready changeup, it is fricking filthy, insane late break. 6'5" 220 frame, reminds me so much of Michael Wacha. Best changeup in 2014 class per MLB.com.
