Honestly I'm surprised the ranked SC so far back and both Ole Miss and Miss St ahead. Small population state surrounded by Bama, Auburn, LSU, and Tennessee seems like recruiting hell if it wasn't for the Jr Colleges in MS.
Are SC's facilities that far lagging behind? Tanner needs to call Darla Moore & Bob McNair to make some big donations.
I'm also a little surprised South Carolina is so far back, but Ole Miss isn't that far off. Although they're a small state, Mississippi produces a lot of athletes, and being surrounded by Alabama and Louisiana means they can recruit those states (just as South Carolina does Georgia). Recruiting is good in the Deep South everywhere.
I've always thought Georgia might be the easiest place, even when everyone was saying it was Florida. Although many will disagree, I might would put Texas ahead of Georgia, though. Texas and Tennessee are both a little too low, imo, while Auburn and A&M are a little too high (A&M may have reached that height in recent years, though).

Who would you put ahead of Auburn? Maybe Notre Dame. But like the article says their lure isn't close to what it once was and they're not located near many recruits.
Auburn has had a couple down years, but the recruits still now we've played for two National Championships in the last few years.
Since 2010 Auburn has finished outside the top 10 in recruiting once and we were number 11.
Funny how you say that Texas A&M has reached those heights and not Auburn when they just started recruiting at our level. I went all the way back to the 2005 class on 247 and A&M has finished ahead of Auburn in recruiting only 3 times the least decade. Since they joined the SEC they've finished ahead of twice by exactly one spot.
