SIGNING DAY
With the offers in, here's what we're looking at:

FIRST STRING
Wyoming (2*)
Colorado State (2*)

SECOND STRING
BYU (4*)
USC (6*)
Kansas State (3*)
Georgia Tech (4*)
Colorado (2*)

THIRD STRING
Nebraska (5*)
LSU (6*)

So the options essentially are: Stay close to home and you can start right away in front of friends and family. At Wyoming and CSU, he'd also get to start for their basketball teams. With the other schools, that becomes a bit more difficult -- though not impossible -- a prospect, they've all offered him at least a spot on their benches and a shot at starting if he's willing to redshirt a year.

With baseball's draft a few month away and expected to be a Top 5 pick, he needs a school that has a good enough baseball program -- that's willing to let him play -- to leverage them against each other.

Or...he could give up baseball all together? Or let teams know he plans to attend college and cost himself millions in the process up front.

So many decisions and the clock is ticking. What will Bobby Caldwell decide? Where will sign on the dotted line to play college football?
