Thought we should take a look at how the SEC fared as a whole this year in recruiting. I have broken the rankings down by Overall ranking/number of commits/Star avg/blue chip %.

1) Georgia 26 / 94.23 / 85%
7) Alabama 19 / 92.78 / 74%
12) Auburn 24 / 90.20 / 67%
14) Florida 19 / 90.69 / 63% (Transition)
15) LSU 22 / 90.11/ 59% (Bump)
17) Texas A&M 23 / 89.56 / 52% (Transition)
19) South Carolina 22 / 88.73 / 36%
20) Tennessee 22 / 87.76 / 36% (Transition)
27) Mississippi St. 23 / 87.21/ 26% (Transition)
31) Ole Miss 21 / 86.76 / 14% (Transition)
37) Kentucky 24 / 86.11 / 13%
41) Vanderbilt 19 / 86.07 / 16%
42) Missouri 26 / 85.30 / 0%
55) Arkansas 16 / 86.16 / 13% (Transition)

Looks like we got better recruits than Auburn, just not as many.

Georgia’s class was ridiculous when I started to really look into it. Kudos to Kirby and his staff, wow!

This does make me smile and bodes well for a Gator comeback to power, sooner than later.

Only two in the top 10 and one in the top 5. Very shitty, SEC.

Hey, I know a lot of sec teams would be mad about having the #17 class. But damn, Jimbo bringing it from #35 a few days ago to #17 has ags excited. Look forward to seeing what he can do with a full recruiting period.

Just embarrassing by O. You had Surtain and Goodrich especially on a silver platter and f'ed it up. Would have been a Top 10 class in a year LA talent was awful.

Yep, LSU, Auburn, Florida and A&M not having top 10 recruiting classes does not bode well of the overall strength of the SEC. Out West, it appears that Texas is once again getting the lion's share of top recruits in their state and Miami, FSU and Clemson have long since been taking recruits that normally went to Florida under Myer.

Like half the SEC was in a transition class.

SEC will be just fine.

A&M/Bama/UG will have a top 5 class next year.

UF will be top 10 next year.

The rest of the sec will crack the top 20 except for possibly vandy and arky.

I think Jimbo & Co did well for a short cycle that also had the first every early signing period. I'm really looking forward to next year's cycle, if the class he has now remains more or less whole it will be a really nice change for A&M.

LSU will be a recruiting laughingstock until that fat frick of a head coach is gone. People just don't take him serious

UF pulled from Florida exceedingly better than FSU in 2018. 12 of FSU's 21 recruits aren't from Florida.

Richt at Miami could be a problem, though, yes.

It looks like UF and Auburn have pretty similar classes. UF has a higher avg player rating but Auburn has a higher percentage of blue chips.

I refuse to let LSU be ranked ahead of A&M's class, it completely defuses all of the freaking out we've been doing.

This is the least worried I've been about FSU for a long time. Taggart has also been taking some questionable gambles and was only ahead of us because we can't factor in Grimes and Jefferson (transfers).

Yeah when the FSU folks point out their class ranking as opposed to A&M's they don't like it when you point this out
