re: How would you rank the states within the SEC footprint in terms of availab instate talent?

I'm not wrong about this. Historically mississippi produces more football talent than Tennessee does...sorry if it offends you. Tennesseee isn't known for its football talent, which is why UT has to recruit nationally to compete...bc if they depended on their in state talent to fill their roster, they would be fricked. All im saying is mississippi historically, over a long period of time has produced way more talent than tennessee has. That's not even considering the population disparity between ms and tn. Now get your panties out of a wad. By the way, LSU has recruited well in tn lately and it's not a knock against your state...just a fact. Jacoby stevens will be a stud at LSU, I know that pisses you off. Geaux tigers.
