It really is incredible to see how much money Tennessee spends on recruiting and how futile their seasons have been the past few years.


1. Auburn ($2,796,184)
2. Tennessee ($2,387,201)
3. Oklahoma ($2,002,692)
4. Michigan ($1,987,719)
5. Notre Dame ($1,855,778)
6. Nebraska ($1,794,747)
7. Alabama ($1,785,254)
8. Kentucky ($1,775,424)
9. Ohio State ($1,738,633)
10. Penn State ($1,694,982)

I'm sorry. But is this the SEC Rant or the SEC Recruiting Board? I believe I posted on the latter.

OU has had the 15th ranked class or lower since AM joined the SEC (and signed top 10 classes). OU and Texas neither signed top 10's and had every year since 02.

Makes you wonder with A&M recruiting better and other SEC schools getting Texas players (Plus Baylor,Texas Tech and Okie St are on the rise in recruiting) what this does for OU's recruiting in the future. They have always been the number 2 team in that state and they have to go out of state to build a roster.

I looked back at the 2013 class and noticed that Auburn had recruits from 9 states whereas Bama had recruits from 13 states. How does Auburn have a greater recruiting budget? I assume that the staffs are similar size. What gives?

And it is pretty sad that UT is spending that kind of money on recruiting to get those results on the field. Butch seems to have brought in a few good classes. Maybe they will see some results soon.

I would think that a new staff would have to do more road work than an established staff with most of their board ranked. This is probably why Auburn and Tennessee were top 2.

OU is taking a more national approach now instead of basically pulling from TX like they were an in state school. They've had varied success but it will be interesting to watch play out.

That's not really the case Tennessee historically has always been in the top 3 in money spent recruiting due to poor instate talent.

That is a testament to how strong Bama's staff is on the recruiting trail. Less visits but more impact per visit

The name practically recruits itself. Auburn has to spend all that money because they are Auburn.

Yea, it has nothing to do with their historic success or that they're a destination program.

I dont think you did your research. That, or you're trying to give aTm entirely too much credit.
