NIL money will keep more and more players in college, in all sports.

The article ranks them above six major league team's farm systems.

Bullet points from the article since it's paywalled. Though a lot more people should have ESPN+ subscriptions after ESPN kept putting LSU games on ESPN+.
quote:
My biggest takeaway from Edwards' research has been that the top 125 (or so) prospects have an outsized effect on their teams' farm systems. The top player from my latest rankings -- Reds SS Elly De La Cruz, who made his MLB debut on Tuesday -- is worth $112 million. The 10th overall prospect, Rangers CF Evan Carter, is worth $55 million; the 100th-ranked prospect is worth $17 million, while a typical third-round pick is worth $1-2 million the moment he signs a pro contract.

The takeaway
So: How talented is LSU exactly? Better than the entire farm systems of six MLB teams. With Crews and Skenes making up the vast majority of their total, the LSU Tigers would slot in between the White Sox and Mets, with a value of $137.5 million.
quote:
The two LSU stars are worth $107 million together -- which for context is the same as minor league prospects 111th through 118th, combined. Another point of comparison: It matches the combined value of every prospect on all six minor league teams that make up the Houston Astros farm system.

Kramer Robertson said this after his first year out of college. I imagine it's only improved since then.

You have a misunderstanding of what the article is saying if you believe Kramer Robertson said anything remotely like what Kiley McDaniel is saying.

That ought to help recruiting a little

Are they saying LSU Baseball program over time is better than some MLB farm systems or just better this year due to Crews and Skenes skewing LSU above some farm systems since they are generational talents?

Blake Dean said as much when he announced his retirement. He was hitting .300 + & was starting but he said he just got tired of the poor competition & small crowds. In comparison to LSU & The Box's crowds.

They added up the dollar value of the current roster based on the future value of them as prospects and compared it to the dollar values of the minor league systems for each team.
Crews and Skenes have so much monetary value based on their future value as prospects that they are valued higher than two orgs by themselves. When you add in the rest of the roster, we pass up a few more orgs.
