With the Friars' second pick in the draft they select someone with an interesting backstory.
This isn't Jacob Nix's first rodeo. He got drafted last year and without him knowing it because awash in drama. The drama originated when the Astros lowered their offer to Cathedral Catholic HS alum Brady Aiken, their #1 selection. Part of the reason they wanted to low ball Aiken was because of issue with his arm (that got leaked to the media) and partly because they wanted to give some extra money to Nix. When Aiken refused to sign the deal, the Astros lost a lot of their allocated pool of dollars they were allowed to spend on their draft.
