BWD, sometimes a team will draft a player thats highly committed to college, in the hope's of signing him before the deadline.
Which they did.
Sometimes late rounder's still get a good size signing bonus.

Example:
The only one that signed wasn’t a huge surprise, as RHP Brett Hunter (Moorpark, Calif,/Moorpark HS, a seventh-round selection of the Oakland Athletics, inked a deal worth a reported $1.1 million. Hunter was expected to be a first-round pick in the spring, but he missed most of his 2008 junior season due to injury. He pitched well this summer for a collegiate USA Baseball squad and agreed on a contract offer not long before Friday’s deadline. Baseball America reported that it is the largest contract ever given to a seventh-round selection.

Congrats Jersey Dad and Q! I moved Jeff into his dorm today at UNC and I could not help but think about you and Q. I was looking forward to getting to know you and your son even better over the next few years. I was also looking forward to seeing my son and your son on the same team. But I am so happy for you guys. I wish Q the best of luck and I hope to see him in the show one day. Jeff was bummed out when he heard the news. But he said "I dont blame him one bit. But I sure wish he was here." All I could say was , me too! Good luck buddy.

Coach May, you don't know how much I would have enjoyed watching our boys play together. From a selfish POV, I think my wife and I are going to miss the college experience as much as Jerseyson. I guess we are just going to have to adopt some of the HSBBW college kids so we can follow them for the next few years.

Baseball+Work=Dreams,

Yes he spent four years with the Arsenal program. He had a great experience with the team and I would recommend it for anyone that has the desire and talent to play.

I will try to send you a PM with some contact information and try to answer your other questions.
