LSU's pitching could be truly awesome.
Competing for a starter spot:
Walker (our ace 2 years ago/TJ surgery)
Hess
Hilliard
Labas
Storz
plus: 3 top 150 guys who aren't signing with MLB
Hill
Henry
Marceaux
That is 8 guys who are probably starter quality. And we still have our pitcher who hits nukes

Not arguing LSU should be awesome but it is also important at this point we note that you can't really take MLB Draft or Perfect game rankings into account for pitchers especially in terms of instant impact.
They are scouted relative to MLB potential not how good they will be in the SEC as a freshman.
For example with LSU Eric Walker was not a top-ranked prospect but Cole McKay was like a Top 50 prospect. A lot of the time it means nothing more than they can throw gas - but often times have no control, or no command of secondary pitches, etc. But high velo is going to make you a projectiable (overused term) 10/10 times.
