Not really recruiting related, but former SC Pitcher, Tyler Webb, just got Rule5'd by Pittsburg. Webb was drafted by the Yankees in the 10th Rd of 2013. He spent most of his time on their AAA team in Scranton.
What the Rule5'd means is that Webb is guaranteed a spot on the Pirates starting 25 man MLB roster for the season. They can't move him down. They could waive him and he'd go back to the Yankees org. Basically, the Pirates are banking on Webb being a starting pitcher, b/c they really wouldn't have made this move for a reliever.
Here's more info on a Rule5 Draft for anyone interested.
