Check that. There was another page. The seven #Tulane players drafted in the top 18 rounds is the most since the Wave had nine in 1979-80. Wave also had seven in top 20 rounds in 1986-87. No other times with seven or more.

The MLB draft is complete. #Tulane, which had four players taken last year, added three this time. The seven taken in the top 20 rounds (actually 18) represents the most over a two-year period in school history. Draft used to go upwards of 40 rounds, was shortened to 20 in 2021.

The Wave will need another player with an iconic walk-up song now that Rasmussen is headed to the minors.

#Tulane second baseman Connor Rasmussen goes in the 15th round with the No. 458 overall pick to Kansas City, joining teammate Michael Lombardi in that organization. Rasmussen was terrific for two years with the Wave after transferring from ECU.

Clearly, he assured Diamondbacks he would choose minor league baseball before they drafted him.

#Tulane left-handed pitcher Tayler Montiel was taken by Arizona in the 12th round at No. 363 overall. He had very good senior season and will have to choose between medical school and minor league baseball.

MLB draft starts at 5 p.m. today with the first three rounds covering 105 picks. #Tulane's Michael Lombardi is expected to go among that group.

Former #Tulane pitcher Keagan Gillies was the last guy to get in the MLB Futures All-Star Game, throwing five pitches to get the final out on a fly ball in strange situation. His team had already lost 4-2, but the National League batted in the 7th anyway so everyone could play.

Linebacker Sam Howard and offensive lineman Shadre Hurst will represent #Tulane along with Jon Sumrall at AAC Media Days in Charlotte July 24-25. Event has moved from Fort Worth to Charlotte Convention Center. I will be there.

#Tulane has a league-high 11 selections on Phil Steele's All-AAC preseason football team. The first-teamers are Shadre Hurst, Derrick Graham, Santana Hopper, Mo Westmoreland and Sam Howard. Kam Hamilton made second team, as did Omari Hayes at punt returner.

Stewart, who received a wild card into the qualifying draw, saved two match points in his win today against Luca Van Aasche, who has been as high as No. 63 in the world. He will play Switzerland's Leandro Riedi for a spot in Wimbledon's main draw.

Ex-#Tulane tennis star Dominik Koepfer is sidelined by injury, but another former top Wave player, Scotland's Hamish Stewart (2018-21), is a win away from qualifying for Wimbledon. How huge would that be for him? At age 25, he has never played a match in an ATP tour-level event.
