Thanks for the info.
As for the comparisons, my apologies, I probably wasn't clear in what I was asking. I was just meaning how do they compare on a talent level. Like are they as good, better than, or a little less than some of our best talent we currently have?
Is Beck Way the only one you expect LSU to miss out on? I know I've read that Floyd I guess is the other legit possibility of missing out on too.

Project did a great job summing up. My thoughts...
Beck is the most likely plug and play as a starter if he makes it.
Floyd, Money, Millas, and Fowler are all great arms. Floyd hides the ball well and has great velocity along with swing and miss stuff he’ll be an immediate impact where ever he goes. I think Money is a bit raw but like Project said he’s going to be an absolute monster if he can refine his off speed pitches and let his fastball sit mid 90’s because he’ll have the stamina. Millas and Fowler are a nice set of power arms out of the pen.
This class back to back with last years class will set LSU up with a deep lineup that will be able to grow up with each other for 2-3 years together which is what forms championship teams. LSU will need to hit on a couple power arms in the 2021 class but that’s something to worry about at a later time.

Hill and Marceaux is going to be a very very good 1-2 punch. Way might push Labas for the Sunday spot if both are on the roster. He’s a definite top 5-6 arm on the roster if that’s what you’re asking.
Way, Floyd, Drost, Romo, Money will all receive draft interest but like we’ve talked about a team is only going to draft a HS player this year if they’ve verbally come to an agreement pre selection.

Marceaux nah

What are you trying to say?
Posted on 6/6/20 at 11:29 am to Adam4848
Did they increase the roster number for teams? I know seniors won’t count toward your number, but did they do any other increase?
Posted on 6/6/20 at 12:36 pm to bugafor6
Not yet. Mid majors are fighting it because of teams like Arkansas who has already taken 4 grad transfers.
Posted on 6/7/20 at 11:40 pm to ProjectP2294
Project, I never thought about this until I saw your comment about the 4 grad transfers. I assume those guys will be seniors, so will they not count against the 35 man roster for Arkansas? Or does that just apply to the returning seniors?
Posted on 6/8/20 at 7:58 am to Pistol 23
My understanding was that the only seniors staying at their school wouldn't count against the 35, but I may be incorrect on that.

Drew Romo 31 to Pittsburgh
Daniel Cabrera going 33 to Arizona
Cole Henry going 50 to Texas.
Beck Way 128 to Minnesota
Devin Fontenot 149 to Arizona

The first consensus prep catcher is off the board here at 31st overall. Drew Romo is an LSU commit and will be an expensive sign, and some are even speculating it’s likely he ends up on campus this fall. If he drops much further than this pick, I’d agree his attending LSU becomes a likelihood. The Texas prep is a well rounded catching prospect showing plus pop times and an arm that should grade at above average or better. There’s no doubt he sticks behind the plate long term. Romo is a switch hitter who’s shown the ability to find the barrel from both sides of the plate while displaying a hit tool that should make him an adequate offensive contributor as a professional.

Not LSU related, but potential first rounder and Vandy commit Pete Crow-Armstrong is the son of the Ashely Crow. She's the actress that played Billy Heywood's mom in Little Big League.

This feels like worst case scenario for LSU.

Correct

Which SEC school is expected to be hit hardest by the MLB Draft?
Posted on 6/8/20 at 12:21 pm to Adam4848
I have a lot of issues with that mock draft. It seems like they list Soderstrom as an OF simply so they can call Romo the top prep catcher on the board.
In a loaded college pitching draft they have the Cardinals, who are tied for the most picks and usually make their bones on college pitching, only taking like 2 college pitchers.
And they have way more HS guys in the 4th and 5th rounds than I think will reasonably go there.

Arkansas and Ole Miss will lose some current players. Kentucky will probably lose one of their JUCO pitcher recruits (but half their team is in the transfer portal too, because their coach is an imbecile).
Mississippi State will get hit hard from a current player standpoint, they'll also probably lose their top hitting recruit. But Kellum Clark did take his name out of the draft yesterday.

I'm interested to see if Miss St. can hold onto Blaze Jordan who was once a lock to be a top 20 pick.
Posted on 6/8/20 at 8:34 pm to ProjectP2294
How good is Jordan Thompson? And will he make it to campus?
Posted on 6/8/20 at 8:50 pm to Locotiger97
I think he’s going to make it to campus. He could play all over the infield but probably fits better on the left side. I’d expect him to play early as a defensive sub at least and then see his role expand as he gets comfortable at the plate.
We have a glut of infielders right now though, I’m a little anxious to see what happens there.
Thompson could also pitch, he’s got a very live arm.
