I havent been to many campuses in the SEC. I have been to UGA's and Auburns. Which campus is the most impressive for new recruits at of all the SEC schools. Does this have a big effect on which school recruits choose?


Here's a no-nonsense answer.

It depends on the recruit.

It depends on what the recruit is looking for, what is attractive to him.

It depends on if the campus and the town or city has something to offer that appeals to said recruit, and they are all different.

It also depends on the family, the parent(s), the guardians.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder ... or, in this case, the eye of the recruits.

I have heard recruits say they love South Carolina for the women ... the women down the road at SC State.

I have heard them say they love the campus because of the old history.

I have heard them say they love Clemson for the small town feel, while I have heard them say they love SCAR for the big town feel.

A lot of it usually comes-down to excitement in the stadium on game day.

A lot of it, a lot of the time, comes down to them being far enough away from home to feel independent, while at the same time being close enough for Momma to come to games.

It just all depends.

This makes sense to me as FSU uses Florida A&M in there recruiting pitch. Lots of cleat chasers between the two schools. It's an advantage for them for some recruits.

Yes, yes, I know...you don't like me. I get it.

I've heard recruits say they like LSU and Arkansas because they can't get an offer from A&M and they are still only one state over from the great State of Texas.
