Louisiana OF Carson Roccaforte was selected 66th overall to the KC Royals.

Troy's SBC POTY Shane Lewis decided to forgo the draft and come back to Troy.

We're going to be absolutely loaded next season.

One of the top 50 still available:

96. Levi Wells, RHP, Texas State
Wells has built himself up from solid reliever to standout starter, with a pitch mix to warrant a look in the middle rounds

Tanner Hall to Minnesota.

Levi Wells to Baltimore

Cajun's Julian Brock goes the the 8th round to the Rangers.

USM’s Justin Storm to the Marlins.

USM’s Dustin Dickerson to KC.

8th round

Patrick Copen (Marshall) to the Dodgers in the 7th round and Nicholas Judice (ULM) to the Yankees in 8th round.

USM’s Matt Etzel to the Orioles in the 10th.

So that's 4 from Southern Miss in the first 10 rounds. We expected all 4 to get drafted. Now we see if there will be any surprises.

Orioles went Sun Belt heavy on Day 2. They used 4 of their 9 selections on players from the conference.

Levi Wells (Texas State), RHP, Rd. 4
Teddy Sharkey (Coastal Carolina), RHP - Rd. 7
Zach Fruit (Troy), RHP - Rd. 9
Matthew Etzel (Southern Miss), OF - Rd. 10

Nicholas Judice (ULM) Round 8 Pick #252 to the Yankees

I know Storm has said pending on the contract numbers, he may not sign and come back for another season at USM.. Same with Etzel.. Etzel is actually playing summer league ball which is unusual from guys planning on going pro.

I stay if I'm Etzel ... I'm on the fence if I'm Storm...

I'm being optimistic... But realistically... If playing pro ball was my goal, I'd probably sign and be done with it.

App's Xander Hamilton goes to the Twins in the 14th round.
