PrintCory Mazzoni and Pratt Maynard weren't on the board for long once the MLB draft resumed this afternoon. Mazzoni went to the New York Mets in the second round, #71 overall. Maynard went to the Los Angeles Dodgers in the 3rd, #103 overall. (This guy must be bummed out.)
They're looking at some substantial signing bonuses (Russell got 250k in the 4th last year, remember), so it's highly unlikely that either player returns to NC State next year. Harold Riggins should be the next Wolfpack player to go; his return is doubtful as well.
Another name to keep an eye on: I think incoming recruit Carlos Rodon (LHP) is supposed to be taken somewhere in the first 10 rounds.
Update: the Colorado Rockies selected Harold Riggins in the 7th round.

One all ready gone...
Brett Austin was a catcher out of Charlotte we had signed. He went 54th overall to the Padres. Figuring on the weather, women and money, I think he maybe gone. Of course he won’t start out in SD, but the thought of the women out there is enough to sign.
Austin is definitely gone. 54th overall.
i was surprised at how high Riggins went. i think he will sign also. i was of the opinion he didn’t hit well enough to go that high. but then, i was very surprised Wilson went in the fourth round.
of course Maynard and Mazzoni are gone. what about Ciencin?
i have to commend you guys for keeping up with State’s recruits.
depends on $$$ the teams are willing to pay
Some may go above slot to grab kids. But we should be good with the 16th rounder—Carlos Rodon. He’d have gone much higher but scared teams off with money demands. He wants like $800k to skip college.
What a difference
People get paid to stay at UNC and our folks want big bucks to leave. Good for Mr. Rod On to value his time at State so highly.
Returnees
Think we will see all the recruits remain with the exception of Austin picked 54th. Williams and Gianis should return, as neither will receive a signing bonus in excess of 15k. If Williams play anything like he did at the end of the year he could see himself move into the top 5 rounds next year.
