You said he would go pro after his freshman year if he didn't go out of HS. Hence the question about 3 years if he chooses to go to school. Re-read my question.

Is that no longer the case? Pretty sure that’s still the case. If you play D1 baseball, you can’t get drafted until after junior year. I believe you can get drafted though after two years at a JUCO. Not sure about D2, D3, etc. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosierfan1901 Posted January 24, 2021 Report Share Posted January 24, 2021 And to answer your question, I’m pretty sure it’s until your junior year in college, like what Bustout said Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sophomores can go into the draft however if they turn 21 within 45 days of the final day of the draft. Otherwise you have to be a junior. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I have heard down here, he will be drafted this summer, but let’s see what he decides Well he can't after his freshman year. If you go to college you have to stay 3 years in college Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kyhoosier29 Posted January 30, 2021 Report Share Posted January 30, 2021 If accurate, that would put him in the 4th round, and would become all about the money offered. Is the kid good enough to bet on himself going higher in three years? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he goes to IU. that makes him older when he is college draft eligible as well. I think that works against him ever playing for IU.

On 1/24/2021 at 5:12 PM, IU Scott said: Well he can't after his freshman year. If you go to college you have to stay 3 years in college Technically not entirely true. Colson will be draft eligible after his SO year because of how old he is now. He turned 19 in March. So, he could sort of get the best of both worlds.. 2 years at IU, then pro. You just have to be 21 within in 45 days of the draft. (Elijah Dunham and Cole Barr were both drafted after their SO years) Plus there is this ^ . I've heard from a source or two he is leaning towards going to college, I don't think anyone knows 100% outside of his family. We will also have to see how the draft goes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I would love to see him at IU, I'm rooting for him to make the Big Leagues. So, if he determines his best chance at that is to go now, I don't blame him one bit. I saw him play in the state championship game his freshman year. Southridge played Boone Grove in the 2A Championship game before Silver Creek played in the 3A championship against Andrean. There was some talent on the field that day. Montgomery, of course. Ty Bothwell, from Boone Grove, who now pitches for IU, was on the mound. He didn't get Montgomery out. Colson went 2-2 with 2 walks. in the 3A game, Silver Creek had to face Andrean's Michael Doolin, who is at Vanderbilt.

I couldn't have gone and been on my own at 19 years old with all that money, regardless... so school would have been the best choice for me. I have no idea what the best choice for him is... I'm just relaying information. 2 years he is draft eligible and he is leaning towards going to school. Andrean had Tyler Nelson (current IU player, as well). Edgewood should have beaten Andrean the next year and SR gave away their game, as well.... and Col East gave their game away. It was sickening watching three teams from the south BLOW games.

I have a friend who knows a kid from New Castle Trey Ball who was the 7th pick in the draft a few years ago. He has never made it past double A and he turned down going to Texas for college. He got a big signing bonus but I wonder if he regrets not going to college 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can still go to college now, he's only 26. There's nice money and then there is life changing money. Can't blame a kid for cashing in the lottery ticket. Can pay to go back to school. That said there are some that are on that fringe or maybe just aren't ready for the lifestyle and need some maturing. Would love to see Colson at IU but understand either way....it's just a big deal he chose us regardless where he goes because it signals the state of the program.
