Thursday. Friday. Saturday. Sunday. Monday. Tuesday. National Signing Day.
Seven days from now we at MrSEC.com will be bringing you up-to-minute recruiting news and information from first thing in the morning til the fax machines stop humming that evening. When you want to see what’s happening all across the conference — including with Missouri and Texas A&M — this site should be your first stop.
As we start the countdown until signing day, we wanted to take another look at our current SEC big board. There’s been some shifting since our last check a week ago. As usual, we’re using rankings from Rivals.com.
First we measure the quantity of each schools commitment class to date:

Now, here’s a look at just the high-end prospects… commitments from four- and five-star athletes only. Just as buying more lottery tickets improves your odds of winning, the more blue chip recruits you sign, the better your odds of finding some actual blue chip players.
