in defense of him, he has gotten some kids that because of their commitments to LSU, dropped in the draft. Mahtook, Jared Mithcell, DJ Lemahieu, & Ranaudo come to mind off the top of my head.

Exactly

...this still doesnt explain why he hasn't gotten a Top 5 rounder to come/stay here while other schools occasionally can.

What was listed above happens at any good baseball school an strong commitments.

Florida seems to do this once a year or so....

I do agree with what your saying, but I do realize sign ability has a major part in this. Bregman was a top 5 rd talent, but didn't get drafted until the 20's.

if the talent is equal, i dont see why it matters.

you dont think other top programs lose players drafted very early?

Ive been critical of PM in the past, but that is pretty ticky tacky.

And i dont think other schools talk players into coming to college once the draft happens. Money dictates that decision, NOT that head coach.
