Just saw a post where only 11 players in top 10 rounds remain unsigned. So for future notice there's less than a 25 percent chance if a kid is drafted in top 10 rounds he will come to college or return to college. Number will probably be around 10 percent when the dust settles and more kids sign.

All true, but the numbers are skewed by the fact that the teams have a good idea which players are firmly committed to go to or stay in school and draft them very late or not at all

Both observations are correct. The fact that MLB and NCAA have a wink-wink relationship in regard to clubs talking numbers with player's handlers has created this situation. Being a Top-50 HS prospect does not guarantee being drafted in the top 10 rounds unless signability is attractive.

I would have been surprised to hear anything else This kid can flat out rake I suspect we will see him in a high A league before the end of the season

If he stays in the Twins organization the only chance we would get to see him is in the Appy League...if he gets to High A he's headed to Fort Myers, FL
