While I have always agreed, there is a lot more developed HS, college talent out there now than there was years ago.
Now that the draft rounds have shortened, transfer rules have changed, it's a different game.
Are scouts really out there searching for the diamond in the rough, or are they concentrating more on the top arms, top hitters?
For the draft, a lot does matter where you will attend, where you do attend, where you transfer to or if your dad played the game at the highest level and most of all as mentioned by PTWood, are you playing or sitting on the bench.
The player has to decide what's best. I know of a player that is projected top 3 rounds, decided to remain at the mid D1 where he began. Unlike others that transferred to better conferences to improve their draft position, it will be interesting to see where he falls in the draft.
As far as the discussion about Brown, who cares. Really. One doesn't attend and play baseball at Brown to get drafted.
