So we are now at 6 players drafted in the Top 9 rounds

[BrunswickDawg]

Every year we have committed players that are ranked very highly for the next years draft. Yet we never can seem to get them to campus.

So yeah I guess he "evaluated" those players but who gives a damn if we don't actually get them to campus.

Not saying Lemonis failed on these or anything because 95% of these kids were never coming to begin with. But let's not pretend like he went out and found some looked over player and found him because he saw something no one else saw.

This is just not true.
2019 - 4 Top 150 Players, Lost 1 to the draft
2020 - 6 Top 150, Lost 2
2021 - 6 Top 150, Lost 3
2022 - 5 Top 150, Lost 1
2023 - 5 Top 150, Lost 2
2024 - 4 Top 150, Nori has signed, I can't find if Cason has signed (which would be huge if he hasn't)

If Cason has signed, that still means we are getting 67% of of Top 150 rated signees to campus. That's pretty solid.

Or, it would have been considered very solid if Tennessee and LSU, and likely others, hadn't opened up huge checkbooks.
Tennessee had 9 Top 150 each of the past 2 seasons, and hardly any signed pro contracts.
LSU had 11, and same thing. The money has shifted in baseball and its likely going to hurt us.
