National signing day is exactly nine weeks from tomorrow. It’s been four weeks since our last SEC commitment comparison. With time winding down there have been a number of moves — both for the good and the bad — across the league in the last month.
As always, we use Rivals’ star rankings as our guide. For each star they hand out, we assign a value of one point. We also give all 0-star prospects a point.
First, let’s look at the total talent each program — including newbies Texas A&M and Missouri — are bringing in this offseason. At the far right of the table you’ll see how many points each school has gained or lost since our last comparison back in late-October:
