I bet UCLA has great facilities, all chair back seats, a super batter’s eye, fresh nachos and hot dogs. I bet their baseball team gets all the NIL.

UCLA is gonna be a wagon this year.
It’s more likely they coast to Omaha and fall short again once they actually have to play peers. Or maybe they’ll actually play decent competition in Regionals or Supers this time and not even get there. Either way, they’re not going to be tested come May

Will they steamroll through the Big Ten? Probably. Is the Big Ten a weaker baseball conference? Definitely. But they just went 3-0 against quality SEC programs this weekend…you can’t really use the “haven’t played anybody” excuse. Played LSU and Ark in Omaha last year, I’m sure they learned lessons from those two losses, they know what to do to reach that level even though they won’t play a full SEC schedule like LSU does. Also the RPI takes strength of schedule very much into account, I find it’s a very good metric, a good mix of SOS and straight W-L record. They’ll be appropriately seeded in the bracket

This year? Probably they look really good. Last year though they would have been middle pack SEC worthy. Pretty good but not Arkansas or LSU or a few other SEC teams caliber.

This didn’t age well

They have the best player in the country on their squad. Roch is one of the best prospects of the last decade

Thank you brother.

Eh…not really.
Not taking anything from LeBron, he’s great, but it’s not debatable.
Roch is the most hyped and exciting prospect since Bryce Harper. So in over a decade.
If one tries to make an argument like this, one doesn’t know much about baseball.

Nah. Skenes ended up there but he was nowhere near a consensus number 1 draft choice for multiple years like Rock.
Crews is close, but didn't even go number 1 in his draft. 60 FV vs 65 FV. Plus Rock has way more hype as a potentially more prolific hitter than Crews while playing an elite defensive SS. 10 out of 10 teams pick Rock over Crews age not a factor.
Cags? Really? Not even gonna acknowledge that.
But keep trying to defend your take that Lebron is a better prospect than Rock.

It's interesting that you think prospect value is based on stats.
If that's the case I guess we left out Charlie Condon, Max Wagner, Ivan Melendez, Andrew Vaughn, and Brent Rooker as being bigger prospects than any of these guys.
Big stats means big prospects.
And no, we're not gonna acknowledge Cags. There is a reason he didn't even go top 5 in his draft, and it's not because he's one of the most hyped prospects of the past decade. Gimme a break.
