Cortez has tweeted that he's forgoing the draft and coming to USC!! May be why he was passed over in the top 10 rounds after being highly projected for the draft. He may have already told the scouts he wanted to play college ball.
Huge for the team, as he's a legit talent....

It is VERY likely that we get Cortez. This is a huge deal for our hitting next year, he's on par with Destino. The Mets might be able to work something out with him IF they get several guys drafted ahead of him to sign UNDER their cap space, but right now, I'm chalking him up as coming to SC.
I think Rizzo is the only guy we don't get from the project class, he was chosen #50 overall and will get a big signing bonus. He gone.
Haire is going to come in like Webb and immediately compete for a weekend starter role at Pitcher. He is a full year younger than most other college Freshman though. I think his low end Yr 1 will be a weekday starter. He won multiple All American Awards/Lists the past 3 years.
Jahn, Gregory and Bridges are 3 other really quality Pitchers coming in, but they may need a year or two to develop. Bridges throws heat though already in the mid 90's, so he's already on par from a mph standpoint with Webb.
