Looks like MLB.com came out with their top 100 MLB prospects (college and high school together).

Thank you for the headsup.

Needless to say, it's going to be an interesting June and I hope we have some solid backup plans.

I've been doing some calculations with the roster, and potential draftees and such. I honestly think we'd be better served to not really pursue "back up" plans and just have less "forced attrition."

Our best teams in terms of post season performance (2009,2017) have been the teams that had the most players in the program for the longest time. I scored it just based on years in the program, so a freshman and a new JC transfer were a 0, sophomore a 1, etc. Redshirts years were counted as well. Those two years scored the highest.

We may get hit hard by the draft on both the current roster and the recruiting class, and still come out looking pretty good for the 2020 season if we keep guys already in the program in the program.

I don't like that we consistently lose about 25% of expected returnees each year (which in this case are guys that could have been back on the roster but aren't, and doesn't count guys that were drafted and signed. I consider drafted guys "good" attrition).
