Rice comes in tied for 8th overall. That's quite a run Rice has had, considering how compacted over time those players fall. (Not knowing my deep Rice baseball history, when was the first player from Rice first selected in the first round? Was it before or after the OG started?)

Maybe Norm Charlton in 1984? Also saw that Norm has 3 degrees from Rice.

14 of the 18 CUSA 1st round picks have been from Rice. Justin Verlander out of ODU is one of the 4. Who are the others?

Maybe a UH pitcher or two?

If they're counting ODU's Verlander (before ODU joined the conference) then they shouldn't be including any UH (e.g., Wagner, Lincoln), Tulane (Owens) or ECU players. Wasn't Sandlin picked in 1st round or supplemental round this year?
