Who can blame the kids for leaving when they are drafted in the first five rounds. When drafted that high they receive the full attention of the organization, not to mention most players that make the bigs play in the minors for 3-5 years. It's the difference in making the league at 21 or 25. Money talks.



Im not blaming them, nor am I saying we should get all of them or most of them. I am asking why Mainieri has not gotten 1 and several other programs still seem to hold onto 1 or 2 at a time at times.

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.

The way it works now, you'll see more of them come to college. I think Mainieri got one this year who would've been a top 5 rounder in Bregman

Gausman was top 5 round talent that dropped on draft day due to negotiations that was obviously a huge get for LSU.
