@Dan_Furman 2026 will be 19th as a professional scout, covering primarily the Southeast which is rich in SEC & ACC programs w/ NIL coffers.
You could not be more misled in your conclusions of how NIL is affecting the draft.
@RCorySmith@NWSRaleigh@NWSRaleigh had downgraded the Triangle forecast to a trace of snow and .5-.75” of ice Thursday afternoon last week, fwiw. It was way ahead of most other outlets.
Today marks my 10th anniversary w/ the Dodgers. How fast it's flown--both the winning and heartbreaks, the draft successes and disappointments. Thankful for the guys in LA who have our backs and support our efforts #DreamBig#FlagsFlyForever#ITFDB
Another MLB Draft in the books. Those selected should be honored; those fortunate to sign, welcomed. Time to get to work on making dreams come true #DreamBig
Cubs president Jed Hoyer on the mighty Dodgers: "People focus on the size of their payroll and the deferments, and stuff like that, but it’s just a great organization that’s kind of running on all the cylinders. They do well in the draft. They do well internationally. They make smart trades. They do a good job finding value on the margins. And they also can go sign major free agents. So, I just think that focusing on the amount of money they spend does a disservice to an organization that’s running at a really high level.’’ https://t.co/yxlOtJx7mM via @usatoday
Putting up a pic w/ some@stubs stuck in the frame for the oldest boy —realized we’re 30 years removed from the Choke in Doak. Let’s channel some of that karma tonight! @FSU_Barstool
June 7, 2008 Charlie Blackmon was the first player I officially signed in my first year scouting. Today he singled up the middle for his final professional hit—# 1,805 of a career I certainly never predicted. You’re a pro’s pro @Chuck_Nazty … it will forever be an honor.
Another Division title and another October w/ #DodgerBaseball . . . one more roadtrip to Denver where we bid farewell to one of the most special people in the game to me @Chuck_Nazty . . . Thankful we won't have to face him again after this weekend.
Been a good week in the Cape. ‘25 Draft looks promising. Just would like to see the league add a few more interns, especially social media photogs #uncle
