They were absolute monsters in college baseball. To be that prolific, it seems like something would have transferred over. Larson lasted two seasons with the Reds, and Furniss never made it out of AA, not to mention other LSU notables over the years.
Professional baseball is ridiculously hard. Even big time college baseball like we see in the SEC is roughly equivalent to Class A Ball.

Last year at Hoover I was talking to a scout for the Cubs and said I had heard that the talent level on the field was AA level - his response was if it was that level each player on the field was major league material. He said it was very good for the college level but at best its rookie league.
