If you had Riley Bauman as the first Wildcat to be drafted, you win a prize. Bauman was hurt most of this year and has since transferred to TCU. Bauman was drafted in the 13th round

No other Wildcats drafted.
Both Morgan and Britt will have decisions to make. They have an extra year of eligibility should they and the program want to use it. They could also sign a major league contract and be done with school.
Eichelberger was not drafted, but likely has the option to come back to school if he would like to. The challenge is, he is already 23, and unless he just dominates the competition, this was possibly his best chance to get drafted.
Tatrow was not drafted. It will not surprise me if a team signs him as a free agent and he gets the opportunity to keep playing.

Side note: Mercedes “Sadie” Eichelberger is now working as an academic counselor for the ACU athletic dept. So for the time being, this will be their home.

So no news at all for tatrow? I’m assuming it’s the age for some of these guys.

Age? Maybe. Moreso it's MLB trimming its draft to 20 rounds and shutting down close to 40 MiLB teams. Fewer opportunities and scouts too.
