The worst case scenario for Nebraska actually may have been if Bubba Starling slid one more spot to the Washington Nationals at No. The Nationals last two first-round draft picks have each had exorbitant bonus demands and were both clients of Scott Boras. Washington also has a history of working with Boras and his major league clients, such as Jayson Werth.

Had the Nationals drafted Bubba Starling, a deal may have been essentially signed, sealed and delivered, even if it would not have been official until August. While all hope is not lost for the Huskers, the probability that Starling will play college football took a serious hit Monday night. If Nebraska fans want to see Bubba Starling play in the city to the south of Omaha, they may have to wait a couple years and do it at Werner Park in Papillion instead of Memorial Stadium in Lincoln.

Starling ran for 2, yards and 31 touchdowns last fall, while passing for yards and eight more scores. Despite his ability on the mound and on the gridiron, his future is as a five-tool center fielder who resembles Drew Stubbs.

Starling missed nearly a month with a quad injury this spring, but that didn't dent scouts' enthusiasm, and he homered twice in his first game back. His strength, bat speed and the leverage in his righthanded swing give him above-average power.
