College baseball's early signing period wrapped up Wednesday. Unlike last year, when Florida was the clear-cut biggest winner after signing eight members of the Top 100 prospects on its way to the No. 1 recruiting class the following fall, there is no runaway top class this year. Louisiana State, North Carolina and Miami each signed six players from the Top 100 to lead all schools, followed by San Diego and Florida (five), and then Rice, Stanford and Oregon (four).

Evaluating recruiting classes during the early signing period is difficult, because typically only about half of the Top 100 will set foot on college campuses the following fall. Over the last four years, an average of 50.25 players from the Top 100 wound up in colleges. Less than 40 percent of the top 50 prospects have reached college each year, but nearly two-thirds of the players in the 51-100 range made it to schools.

Below is a list of the Top 100 prospects in the high school class of 2010, sorted by rank followed by the same chart sorted by college commitment.
