TheClemsonInsider.com caught up with Clemson 2015 signee Cal Raleigh, one of the top prospects in the class ranked No. 11 nationally by Perfect Game.
\nWhat did the 2015 Perfect Game Honarable Mention All-American think of coach Leggett\u2019s departure?
\n\u201cI\u2019ve known Coach Leggett since I was 4 years old he coached my dad and two uncles at Western Carolina. \u00a0Growing up I always told myself and everyone else I wanted to play for either my dad (Todd Raleigh) or coach Leggett and when my dad stopped coaching there was no question who I wanted to play for if I was good enough\u2026 coach Leggett. \u00a0He is one of the best coaches this game has ever seen and it\u2019s sad to know I\u2019m not going to get a chance to play for a hall of fame coach. \u00a0Coach Leggett is forever imprinted on my life and he is family to me and the rest of my family,\u201d Raleigh told TCI.
\nThe 6-3, 195 pound catcher is a top 200 draft pick according to some draft analysts.
\n\u201cI\u2019ve heard a lot of different things about the draft. \u00a0My family and I will have to sit down and talk about what is best for me,\u201d said Raleigh.
\nOver the next few weeks Cal will have to decide whether to play professional baseball or enroll at Clemson. \u00a0The firing of coach Leggett will have an impact on his decision.
\n\u201cYes it has a huge impact on my decision making,\u201d said Raleigh.
\nWhen will Raleigh enroll at Clemson if he decides to become a Tiger?
\n\u201cMe and my family are evaluating my future. I have a big family and we\u2019ve been very busy over these past few days ,\u201d replied Raleigh.<\/p>\n
