Superprep recruiting class rankings for 2005 SEC

[HogInMemphis]

See below for rankings by Superprep.

I don't follow this stuff at all but I came across this. Is this about where most rated the Hogs' class this year? 9th in SEC and 32nd nationally? What is interesting is that the only teams' classes rated worse than the Hogs are the only teams in SEC last year that had worse SEC record than the Hogs. I guess that's about where we are: better than Miss St, KY and Vandy, about the same as Ole Miss and SC and Bama most years and slightly below Auburn and way below Tenn, Fla, Ga and LSU.

It depends on who you ask, but the Big 3 plus LSU have owned us in recruiting, just like they have on the field. The next group is the group that some folks have us at the top and some at the bottom. Just like on the field. The bottom group is the one we finish on top of on everyone's list. Just like on the field.

Like most schools, to elevate our game on the field we have to find some players that no one thought would be major studs and, well, turn them into major studs.

That rating likely reflects the questions over health that way too many of our recruits seem to have hanging over them. Should most recover and contribute that ranking would bump up to around 20, I would imagine. And, that same improvement (or drop) could be experienced by any of the teams. How's that for non-commital?

well said those will change also based on who didn't qualify or make it to campus for whatever reason . this year ALA ,signed 30 players but some will be placed at JR. COLLEGES .

There's no reason why we should not be able to recruit the way Tennessee does.  TN doesn't produce very many high-major prospects and the Vols don't have any better facilities than we do. I guess players don't care that Knoxville is one of the most polluted cities in the nation.  Then again, a new SUV, a couple of skanks and a bottomless bank account can tend to sway a person.

And people say that the recruiting rankings don't mean a thing.
