Are you asking me to name some players who were drafted high and went to college?

Just off the top of my head Whitson @ Florida and Cole who was at UCLA. Whitson looks like he may have made a mistake. He was drafted in the top 10 and went to school. He is now a junior and I haven't seen him on one preseason AA list.

Purke - TCU - he also bypassed MLB after being drafted in rd 1.



first rounders who went to college...

ain't too common......I could only dig up 4-5 in the past 10 years overall.

It's happened 3 times in the past 3 years...

Since the 08' draft 6 players drafted in the 1st rd have opted for college over pro ball.

So yes it happens more than 4-5 times in the past 10 years.
