LSU was #1, supplemented by three JUCO's.

"The draft's effects kept Vanderbilt from a second straight #1 class". They say Rocker #13 is the top ranked player to make it to college this year.

Other SEC: Florida #5, TAM #7, MSU #12, Bama #15, Auburn #17, SC #21, KY #23

It's no surprise, but currently, VU, FL, and LSU are neck and neck for the top 2019 class per Perfect Game. VU holds a slight edge on their rankings, but of course the ranking won't matter much until you see what's left after the draft.

Strange how we were SOOOOO far ahead of even the second place team, which was Florida, and now LSU is first? Don't buy it.

Six signees signed with MLB, including 3 first rounders. That's a lot of talent to lose. LSU lost 2 and Florida lost 5, but FL also had some high level HS seniors reclassify for January enrollment.

I read back during the summer that we could lose our top 6 and the others not lose anyone and we'd still be #1. And that was on BA's site. Guess they changed their mind. Oh well, Corbs will be fine with #2 in recruiting if we can be #1 at year end.

LSU added 3 late JUCOS to push them up over the top. We're talking an extremely fine line here. The JUCO types are probably having a more immediate impact, but I'll take the depth of 3 year players we have every time.
