Quite a galaxy, the Tigers’ amateur scouting force.
There are 17 area scouts, four part-timers, six national cross-checkers, a director, a front office, an analytics staff that figured roundly in this year’s picks, as well as various administrators involved in the year-round hunt that spans three days in June.
It was no different of a story in 2018. Except for one distinction.
The Tigers chose first among all 30 teams in picking the top college or prep player in the land. The stakes were consummately high.
Casey Mize was this year’s Mr. America.
