Commits
Bryan Hudson was drafted in the 3rd round and will probably go pro.
Marquise Doherty was drafted in the 15th round and will probably go to Mizzou.
Players
Brecklin Williams(Closer) picked in 4th round. He gone.
Peter Fairbanks(Weekend starter) picked in 9th round. Probably gone.
Josh Lester(3B) picked in 13th round. Probably gone because he's a junior.
Alex Rash(The former 2nd round pitcher who TJ never saw fit to pitch but still managed to get drafted again despite never being used by TJ...and I mean like never in his 3 years here) picked in 23rd round. I'd be gone because I'd be fed up with TJ and Mizzou. Take my chances in the minors. He should have done it when drafted in 2nd round out of high school.
Ryan Howard(SS) picked in 31st round. Probably back because he's actually just a sophomore.

I think Lester comes back. Williams I agree is probably gone. Fairbanks might come back to see if he can be a 3-4th round pick next year.

I am pretty sure Williams, Fairbanks, and Lester will all leave. Pete was quoted as saying if he went in the first 20 rounds he would likely be gone and it wouldn't make a ton of sense for Lester to return. Even if he moved up a few rounds next year he would lose any leverage he would have as a senior who has exhausted his college eligibility. Howard will almost definitely stay. He will just be a junior next year and has a legitimate chance to move up.
With respect to Alec Rash, I am pretty sure he got hurt in early April. I feel bad for the kid. He got hurt his freshman year also and was always in TJ's doghouse when he was healthy because of his erratic control. He will almost certainly sign.

Baseball draft a couple rounds earlier is less important than getting paid. The older a draftee is the less leverage that player has & the less he gets paid.

Lester is a question mark. If he gets a $100k offer, he should go. Being 13th round, it's not out of the question that they would offer over slot, but not much more. Problem for him is, if he comes back, he's almost guaranteed to only get $5k or $10k. He would be one of those seniors that teams pay well under slot because they have no where else to go so that the team can use those monies for their higher picks.

Fairbanks is in the same position, just slightly better because he's a top 10 round pick. If he's offered slot, he'd be foolish to come back.
