Baseball Recruiting Class Ranked #6 In Nation
UCLA has reeled up yet another top 10 recruiting class, checking in at #6 this year. What makes the class so impressive is how highly it's ranked despite bringing in only 8 players while every other program in the top 18 had at least 12 signees. 3 of the top 6 ranked classes come from the Pac 10 and 7 of the top 34.

Yes
Gerrit Cole is one of the 8 recruits who have reported to campus this week.

Question, Rye
Can Cole go into the draft after next season? Assuming a decent season, would his signing bonus money be substantially changed from where it was this year with the Evil Empire (sorry, Nestor.) In other words, does he look like a baseball edition of a one-and-done?

Nope
In baseball a player can sign a contract after high school, but if he goes to college he has to stay for 3 years. Cole won’t be eligible for the draft until 2011.

Who went pro?
Did any UCLA-commits gets drafted and opt for the pros? How great could this class have been if they chose to come to school?
