In what order do you see them finishing?

Excitement abounds with a new regime and typically coaching staffs are able to ride that wave of excitement on the recruiting front. I mean, Jesus Christ, just look at the "miracles" OM pulled last year.

This year seems to be proving to be more of the same. Kentucky is opening eyes all across the country, Tennessee is dominating on all fronts, and Auburn is doing what Auburn does.

But how will it all end? Who finishes with the best 247 ranking?

I see it stacking up as follows:

3) Tennessee - Great job Tennessee. You did it. You're back from the dead and not a second too late. Butch Jones has brought in a class that harkens back to the days of Phillip Fulmer or a what-might-have-been scenario had Lane stuck around. Very solid, not a bad way to cap off your 7-5 season.

2) Auburn -

1) Kentucky - Wow BBN! Wait, is this bball?! No, no it's not. Kentucky football has arrived and is here to stay. Your coach is from a family of football royalty and Stoops has the Midas touch. What you have accomplished up to this point has been nothing short of awe-inspiring. Kentucky looks to be a force to reckon with for many years to come IMO. Congrats on being #1, the faithful supporters of your fan base deserve it!




*I didn't include Arkansas for obvious reasons

Someone is finally dipping into Ohio (where we're not competing directly with the rest of the SEC) and Kentucky is reaping the benefits of it. I think it's what ends up making our class solid even through signing day. And from all accounts the way the current commits are recruiting each other, I think they're genuinely excited about playing together and making it happen at UK.

Tenn. is taking the load up on 3 star players approach much like how Arkansas has been doing it over the years.

Either boom or bust type guys ... could pay off

Tennessee will end up with 12-15 Rivals 4* and 10+ on 247. It will look very similar to A&M's '13 class in the end in both quantity and quality.

Difference is Tex AM was highly rated by all three services. You will only be highly rated on rivals.

Ok let me rephrase. Difference is Tex AM had a bunch of four stars on all three services. You will only have a bunch of 4 stars on rivals.

You'll be highly rated on all three depending on your definition of highly rated. You'll probably be around 9 or 10 based on volume.

We probably finish with twelve or so 4* on 247 and one 5*. Add the fifteen or sixteen 3* and right around 10 seems about right. 15 or 16 Rivals 4* most likely.

I understood the first time you said it, no need on the rephrase

The reason auburn is #1 is because the class they signed in 2012 was rediculous and they got one hell of a defensive line coming through.
