Daniel Norris was among three Clemson recruits that were drafted yesterday as well.  Norris who was ranked as one of the top prep-pitchers in the draft was selected in the 2nd Round by the Toronto Blue Jays.  Norris slipped in the draft amid concerns of his signability as it is widely believed that Norris is looking for close to $4 Million in order to forgo his college eligibility.  Jackson Whitley a 1B out of North Augusta High (SC) was selected in the 13th Round by the Los Angeles Angels.  Daniel Gossett a LHP out Byrnes High (SC) of  was selected in the 16th Round by the Boston Red Soxs to round out the Tiger's recruits who were selected yesterday.  Joseph Moorefield was selected in the 26th Round by the Kansas City Royals.
