SEC recruiting rankings after 4-star LB committed to Georgia

Let’s take an updated look at the SEC recruiting rankings after four-star linebacker Chris Cole committed to Georgia football

The Georgia Bulldogs continue to have nation’s best recruiting class in the 2024. The SEC is the best recruiting conference in the nation. The conference has three programs in the top five of the national recruiting rankings and six programs in the top 10.

Georgia looks poised to retake the country’s recruiting crown in the class of 2024. Recruits are committing historically early, so fans should anticipate a lot flipped commitments and recruiting drama down the stretch.

SEC signees in the class of 2024 will be the first ones to exclusively play in the expanded 16-team conference that will feature Oklahoma and Texas.

We are predicting that Florida is going to tumble in the recruiting rankings. The Gators are not going to impress recruits this season and may lose a few top prospects to Georgia in the process.

Final 2023 SEC East recruiting rankings

What are the final recruiting rankings for all seven teams in the SEC East?

The Georgia Bulldogs run the SEC East. Georgia continues to recruit at a championship level after winning back-to-back national championships. However, Alabama landed the nation’s best recruiting class.

How is the rest of the SEC East division recruiting? Tennessee secured its best class in several years. Florida and South Carolina both signed top-20 recruiting classes.

Overall, the SEC continues to be the best recruiting conference in the country and it does not look like that will change any time soon.

Here’s the final recruiting rankings for all seven teams in the SEC East:

How Texas and Oklahoma’s 2023 recruiting classes stack up in the SEC

Texas and Oklahoma are recruiting with the best of the SEC.

Texas and Oklahoma are setting themselves up for the impending move to the SEC. Both the Longhorns and Sooners put together elite recruiting classes in the 2023 cycle.

Steve Sarkisian has Texas recruiting at a high level in his third season as head coach. Texas has pulled back-to-back top-five classes. The 2023 group is the highest-rated class the Longhorns have signed since 2010 under Mack Brown.

Oklahoma followed up a disappointing season on the field with an excellent recruiting class. Brent Venables is adding some serious talent to his roster in Norman.

Each class is headlined by a five-star quarterback. Texas signed the nation’s No. 1 prospect Arch Manning while Oklahoma landed top 10 prospect Jackson Arnold. The two signal callers have bright futures at the collegiate level.

The Red River Rivals boast the top two classes in the current Big 12 Conference. Here is how Texas and Oklahoma’s recruiting classes stack up in the SEC.

Top 10 SEC recruiting teams ahead of early signing day

Where does Georgia football rank in the top 10 SEC recruiting rankings?

The Georgia Bulldogs and Alabama Crimson Tide have the two top recruiting classes in the country. Last season, Texas A&M, Alabama, and Georgia finished with the three top recruiting classes in the country (in that respective order).

Early signing day takes place on Dec. 21. The SEC recruits the best of any conference in the country.

This recruiting cycle, Texas A&M has added quality recruits, but does not have the quantity to even be a top-ten recruiting class. Alabama and Georgia are elite recruiting programs and continue to load their rosters with talent. After finished with the No. 15 recruiting class in 2022, Missouri is not even among the SEC’s 10 best recruiting schools this cycle.

Texas A&M, Mississippi State, and Ole Miss are the only top SEC recruiting teams with lower ranked recruiting classes, per 247Sports, than the 2022 recruiting cycle. There is still a long way to go in recruiting, but this is how things look ahead of signing day.

Now that it’s all over, what mattered about National Signing Day 2021 and the entire recruiting period coming off the weirdest possible season?

Here are five observations and things that matter – especially if you don’t care about recruiting.

5. Yes, National Signing Day was last Wednesday

You can be forgiven if you didn’t notice that the first Wednesday in February passed without you noticing any sizable changes in your world.

There used to be a time when that date meant something to college football fans looking for something to care about in the middle of a random weeks, and was a national holiday for the fetish crowd that gets WAYYYYYYY to into the college whims of teenage guys.

But that’s all changed, and it’s good thing.

As a friend of mine put it, now it goes Early Signing Period > Transfer Portal > National Signing Day.

And that was what made the 2021 recruiting season so strange. The Early Signing Period in late December has destroyed the February National Signing Day, mainly because everyone signs on as soon as they’re able to.

(Why the superstar recruits don’t hold out until the last possible second as the value goes up and the “offers” become more tasty is beyond me – but that’s for another day.)

This year, though, late December meant something beyond the random bowl games, which meant that college football fans had to care about how the extended season ended, which meant that random interest in recruiting was next to nothing.

Coaches and recruiters couldn’t work like normal in the COVID year, there wasn’t a Terrelle Pryor or Justin Fields or Rashan Gary or Jadeveon Clowney who captured the recruiting world’s imagination, and there’s the one big aspect that has totally killed interest in recruiting …

Who cares about a bunch of questionable prospects who may or may not be worth the trouble when you can go get the guys you need in the transfer portal?

But recruiting still matters, especially at the highest level. Now, it’s a strength in numbers game considering so many players will be off to the transfer portal the second they see where they are on the depth chart. Obviously, the more great recruits you get, the more chances that a few will work out.

At the end of the day, whether recruiting has lost its mojo or not, you still need the guys.

2021 SEC Recruiting Rankings, Breakdown

No, really. How good were the SEC classes this 2021 recruiting season?

SEC East

1. Georgia Bulldogs

The bar is set at a ridiculously high level for Georgia recruiting, and Kirby Smart and his staff hit it. There’s the normal array of four and five-star guys with a little bit of something for every spot, but it’s all about Brock Vandagriff. If he’s not the best quarterback recruit of the 2021 season, he’s close. As long as he’s close to being as good as advertised, this is a class to keep the program’s national title expectations high.

2. Florida Gators

It’s not as good a class as the last few, but it’s close enough. No, this isn’t as strong as what Alabama and Georgia brought in, but it’s more than fine for what it needed to do. There isn’t a superstar quarterback signing – Carlos Del Rio is a good prospect, though – and there isn’t a ton for the skills spots, but the defense is loading up with a slew of excellent defensive backs to throw at the pass D problem.
– 2021 Schedule Analysis, Best & Worst Scenarios

3. Tennessee Volunteers

It’s not nearly the class of 2020, but considering all the craziness, all of the changes, and all of the uncertainty, it’s a terrific group coming in. Josh Heupel didn’t get a chance to do much of anything, but the former staff got the job done to load up with a slew of strong offensive talents who should thrive under the new regime.

4. Missouri Tigers

It might not quite be the best recruiting class since Missouri joined the SEC, but it’s not all that far off after Eliah Drinkwitz got a full year to hit the recruiting trail. The pass rush got the most help with a tremendous group of ends, the secondary got more bodies, and Tyler Macon is a dangerous dual-threat quarterback who should be a perfect fit for what the coaching staff wants to do.
– 2021 Schedule Analysis, Best & Worst Scenarios

5. Kentucky Wildcats

It’s okay. Kentucky never lands the elite of the elite talents, and it’s good at succeeding in a recruit-to-a-type sort of way, but this isn’t as strong as the 2020 class and there are a few holes. The 2022 class has to focus more on the defensive line and offensive backfield, but that’s being a bit nitpicky. The receivers are nice, the defensive backs are sneaky-solid, and for what UK does, it’s a fine group.
– 2021 Schedule Analysis, Best & Worst Scenarios

6. Vanderbilt Commodores

Who comes up with a strong recruiting class after a coaching change? Most of the work was done by Derek Mason and the former staff and new head man Clark Lea picked up from there. It’s a big class that might be the program’s best in several years starting with a whole lot of very good prospects for the defense. WR Quincy Skinner is one of the stars of the class, but this group is put together to lock down the other side of the ball.
– 2021 Schedule Analysis, Best & Worst Scenarios

7. South Carolina Gamecocks

It’s a rough class mostly because of 1) the midseason coaching change and 2) the bigger classes in the previous years. The hope is for QB Colten Gauthier to make this small group great – if you can find a strong SEC starting quarterback, the class is made – but there’s no real star power. The other odd thing? There’s not a lot from South Carolina with just three in-state players signing.

Recruiting 2020: 5 Things That Matter After National Signing Day

There are still a few storylines in the 2020 recruiting season – like RB Zachary Evans not deciding on a school yet – even though National Signing Day came and went, but for the most part, it’s on to 2021.

Here are five observations and things that matter now that it’s over.

5. National Signing Day is Blockbuster …

And the Early Signing Period is Netflix.

I used to hate National Signing Day.

The lead-up required weeks and weeks of research and discussion and speculation all for one silly day when older men made a really big deal about where a bunch of kids were going to college.

The worst part about it all was the lack of a true payoff. It was all speculation about how good the undeveloped talents could be three or more years – for the most part – after they signed.

NSD took on a life of its own outside of the normal college football world. It became an occasionally creepy time with message board threats, genuine anger, and a whole lot of pressure. It was also a celebration.

And I sort of miss it.

The first Wednesday in February used to be the one big day of the college football offseason.

The NBA has its free agency period and trade deadline, the NFL has its draft, and baseball has its hot stove league. National Signing Day was a chance for college football fans to look ahead to what might be happening with their respective programs, and it was a time to talk college football before settling in for a big snooze over the following six months.

[lawrence-related id=507396]

Now, most top players are all but locked in several months, if not years, in advance. The Early Signing Period in late December is when everyone of note signs on – which totally gets blown off nationally because the bowl season is in full gear – and the transfer portal has become more important than either of the two signing days.

Not all that long ago, National Signing Day was wall-to-wall all-day TV coverage on at least two of the all-sports station. Every major web site treated it like Christmas because of all the page views and traffic, and it was a major, major thing.

This year? It was an hour-long wrap-up show – if that – on one of the ESPN networks or conference-only channels, because nothing really happened.

Anecdotally, I used to be hit up for at least 15 radio appearances across the country on NSD. This year, I was had the same 15+ requests, but the talk was 95% about Mark Dantonio.

National Signing Day just isn’t a thing anymore. The hype and craziness around recruiting has peaked, and now it’s more business-like and subdued.

It’s just another day in the college football offseason.

However, there are parts of this that really do matter, starting with …
