Huge get. Derek Curiel is the 10th ranked player in the nation and was exploring skipping college and going straight to the MLB draft

Makes me wonder how much his NIL deal is for skipping pro ball to play here.
It seems reasonable that he won't be suffering financially while waiting for that major league money.
