Oklahoma and Texas should do a lot better next year both should have a solid top 10 season next year and that will go a long way to each school winning some recruiting battles.
The SEC is looking to take in some of the best high school football players.
SEC is looking to have 7 out of the top 10 recruiting haul . The rich get
richer as The Tide is projected to have the #1 haul with Texas A&M 3rd.....

What I take from that is that unless you're at the top, it sucks to be in the SEC
kenny young to UCLA-aggies really wanted him. big get for the bruins.
and mattrell mcgraw to oregon. pac 12 pulling some big names today.
dupre to LSU; noles had a shot at him as well.
evans screwed auburn over
What I am taking from this draft class is that in the eyes of the players the Pac-12 is better than the Big 12. You would think after a non-SEC won the championship it would hinder the conference but then Alabama, LSU and A&M sign all of this classes five star recruits. That conference is the 2010 (I think) Heat.
I'm going to console myself to the fact that Bosie state and BYU never have good recruiting classes but both seem to rise up and kick the teeth in of big time programs.
both would kill to have a recruiting class like Texas has. After seeing how many SEC schools are in the top 10, I'm pretty sure that the aggsy are never going to win something of significance over the next 3 or 4 years which bodes well for Texas. I'm also starting to think it's only a matter of time before Texas makes a move out of the Big 12. A few more recruiting classes like this one and Texas will have no choice.
BTW congrats to the ags for a of a class
Yep. Why would you want to live in Methlahoma or Kansas when you can live in California? If you're gonna live in some backwater state, you might as well play in the best conference in the country.
How's USC doing? I haven't been paying attention!
Boise did flip 4-stars from Aggy and UW this year and might be getting a 4-star linebacker who USC was after, tbh.... at the end of the day, though, it's all about player development, the star system is just basically good advertising for your program....
having a good day and have moved up to 18th. if they pick up juju smith (who is down to ucla and usc) they could move into the top 15
SEC is definatly dominating recruiting, but the star rating is pretty bad for quite a few of these kids. Manzeil = 3star, RG3 = 4 star, Luck = 4 star, mariota = 3 stars, megatron= 4 stars, colt mccoy = 3 stars, sam bradford = 3 stars ,jake mathews = 4 stars, mike evans = 3 stars, etc..I am sure there are some great 5 star college players of the past, but I am guessing the rate is pretty low.

Thanks for the update.
IIRC the odds of a 5 star panning out to a 3 star is about 3 times as high.
Also, just because they were lower rated as high school seniors doesn't mean they didn't improve or grow dramatically during college.
3X huh? Did you just make that up or do you actually have some factual info? Not sure what you call panning out but I suggest you look at ATM roster from last season and tell me what 5 stars athletes panned out over the 3 or 4 star players on the same roster..
I guess with so few 5 star players on any one roster its pretty difficult to say the overhyped rate on these types of players. Just find it funny how the media crowns a champion on something so dumb.
There was a analysis done a few years ago that measured all the high school 5-star athletes and basically 35% of them actually live up to their recruiting status and get drafted into the NFL.
Rivals called it a success, I think it sucks, now if it was 65% I might agree with them.
My opinion a 5-star is a guy that will be in the NFL.
The fact that the vast majority of guys on the Denver Broncos and Seattle Seahawks were 2 & 3 star guys on the Rivals site tells me development and coaching are much more important that star ratings.
Google what IIRC means. Well, let's see. Trey Williams was the only 5 star on our roster last year as far as I can recall. RSJ was right there. RSJ got hurt and trey, when he got touches, was incredible. 5 stars are statistically more likely to be better by a good margin since they are so selective about handing them out. It's pretty simple, actually. If you want to play the pick and choose game, what about Julio jones? Jameis Winston? We can do this all day.
Yeah, this is what I'm referencing. Remember they are ranking high school seniors that will grow physically. Also, coaching does make a big difference. A 2 star senior could put on 50 pounds between his junior year of college and graduating high school and turn into a beast.
