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)

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.

It's pretty well known that Gus has been doing a lot of work widening the net for AU. The reason the numbers are skewed is because of the time period. Gus had to put a lot in motion in a very short time.

Over a longer period the numbers would even out.

I wonder how many inner-city churches could be built for $2.8 million?
