Take with a grain of salt. It is difficult to rank baseball classes and Collegiate Baseball is kind of shitty, but its something.

Think Vanderbilt was like 1 or 2 before the draft. They had a lot of guys they lost

Alabama unranked. Anyone know anything about our class? I would have thought the new coach would have landed us a better first class

Ole Miss has been recruiting really well for the past few years.

Baseball classes are hard to rank.

Main thing you are looking for in a baseball class are a bunch of natural pitchers, a good catcher who can hit. At least one natural born hitter who is serviceable in the field somewhere and you always wanna try to bring in at least one really good glove man for the infield.

If your program is built right then you plug and play and you try to never have a bunch of desperate needs scattered all around.

It's ridiculous how strong the SEC has gotten in baseball. IMHO the conference is stronger in baseball, top to bottom, than any other sport.

We're loving this last class we brought in at SCAR and the current class is suppose to be very good as well. We've had #1 and #2 and so many Top 10 classes over the years ... but our best products have always been when mixing great classes with blue collar classes. The chemistry just seems to be so much better when the entire team is not thinking they are all top three round draft picks.

The NCAA might want to check their balance sheet.

LSU's class is only at 7 but it hit on needs. We also didn't really have a lot of room to bring guys in this year.

We made it through the draft getting some pitchers I thought were big signing risks in Peterson and Hess. Jake Slaughter and Josh Smith both played well in their collegiate summer league as incoming freshmen, which is promising.

South Carolina also had a couple incoming freshman playing in the summer leagues.

Ole Miss must have signed a ton of guys because I know they lost some guys to the draft. That's impressive to see them still up that high.

Mississippi State sign a couple of relievers from LSUE that may be impact guys out of the pen.

It looks like A&M got hit the hardest by the draft, but with the amount of talent in the state, what's getting to campus is probably still very good. Having those ridiculous JUCO programs nearby certainly doesn't hurt either.

If anyone is interested in LSU's upcoming classes, I have a thread on the LSU RB dedicated just to that.

ASU landed eight drafted players among the 20 the Sun Devils brought in this fall. Another three would have been drafted, but they turned down substantial financial overtures from professional organizations prior to the draft.

It is the most amount of draft picks an NCAA Division I team has landed since Florida brought in eight drafted players in 2013. It is the first time in seven years that a team from the Southeastern Conference has not captured the title.


USC brought in 8 drafted players out of the 19-player class for the 2015 cycle, a class Collegiate Baseball ranked 2nd for that year...
