As far as I know LSU is the only School to have the first person selected in the following 4 Drafts

1989 (MLB) Ben McDonald - Baltimore Orioles
1992 (NBA) Shaquille O'Neal - Orlando Magic
2006 (WNBA) Seimone Augustus - Minnesota Lynx
2007 (NFL) JaMarcus Russell - Oakland Raiders

Can anyone verify this

can't verify it, but that's a terrific accomplishment. Guess NHL is next.

Yes. I know for a fact that no other school has the first selection in any of those drafts. It's impossible.

You need to restate your original question. What are you really trying to find out?

He said it is impossible for anyone else to have the first overall picks in those drafts because you listed them specifically by date. It literally is impossible for another school to have the first overall picks in the 1989 MLB draft, the 1992 NBA draft, etc. My joke was just an extension of his.

You aren't phrasing your question correctly. How can any other school have the 1st person selected in any of those drafts? There is only one 1st person selected, and LSU has it in each.
