The vast majority of our signees DO show up, yes. Even very highly rated players....Alex Bregman, for example.




Strictly luck there. If not for the injury his senior year he was not coming to LSU. Vandy is the only one that can talk their high draft picked signees into actually show up due to their unique situation in which they actually manipulate the scholly rule.

Agreed. Bregmans' bad luck was our good fortune.

But there is always the possibility of an injury in their senior HS year dropping a high draft pick down to where he will come to school like what happened to AB.

If we don't sign them to start with, somebody else will and if the injury bug bites the guy and he drops down in the draft, he goes somewhere else instead of to LSU.

I empathize with all baseball coaches in their recruiting. They are criticized when a top guy ops for MLB and they are criticized if they don't go after the best players who might have a chance of playing in college.
