SEC Commitment Comparison – 10/4/09
October 5th, 2009 ║ Posted By: John Pennington ║ Permalink ║ Tags: Alabama, Arkansas, Auburn, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, LSU, Mississippi State, Ole Miss, South Carolina, Tennessee, Vanderbilt
There’s been quite a bit of movement on our recruiting Big Board in the last two weeks (since we updated it).
Several teams have added verbal commits (Arkansas, Kentucky, Mississippi State and South Carolina).
Some have lost commits (Tennessee).
And some have lost a verbal (Alabama) to an SEC rival (Auburn). Florida commitment Matt Elam is now looking long and hard at Tennessee, as well.
Adding things up, here are our rankings as the leaves begin to change. As always, we use Rivals’ star rankings, but we assign one point’s value to all zero- or one-star players.
