Kyle Russell drafted in 3rd round today

Sad to say, I was too busy at work today to follow the draft. And, then I went out after work so just now found time to check things out.

Kyle Russell was drafted in the 3rd round (93rd overall) of the draft today. He went in the 4th round (142nd overall) last year so he improved his stock by quite a bit...despite his slow start this year. Also drafted was Texas signee Robbie Grossman (outfielder from Cypress). He went in the 6th round.

So far, those are the only Texas-related draftees that I've been able to find. As usual, I've set up a draft summary page with info on our drafted players along with a list of Big 12 and SWC players. Check that page out for periodic updates.

The draft stopped at the end of the 6th round and will resume tomorrow at 10:30 Central time.
