Mark, Will, and Jared kick off the offseason of The College Baseball Show by breaking down the fallout from a Colorado judge's ruling granting 2022 high school signees an extra year of eligibility, which is already causing draft-league players to bail on pro ball and jamming college rosters with 40+ players (LSU and Vanderbilt included). They debate whether a looming 2027 MLB lockout is pushing top freshmen to campus instead of signing, argue over whether college or pro ball develops players better, and rank the best incoming freshman classes (Tennessee, Kentucky, Texas, Oregon State, Stanford). The back half is a full snake draft covering the best college baseball teams ever, the best teams to never win a title, the best players they've seen live, the best uniforms, and the best ballparks in the country.
