SEC Commitment Comparison – 1/31/12

National Signing Day is just hours away and that means it’s time for one last check of the current SEC commitment lists.  The new Big Board reflects movement at six different league schools since yesterday.  How much more shuffling can we expect in the next 24 hours?  You’ll have to stay with us right here at MrSEC.com all day tomorrow to find out.

We’ll be bringing you updated signing lists from all 14 league schools — including Missouri and Texas A&M all day — so you can keep up with your own school as well as your rivals.  We’ll also provide running blog updates as the last big name players make their announcements.  Will there be a Cyrus Kouandjio surprise this year?  Will use a mascot for a prop as Isaiah Crowell did a year ago?  We’ll have ya covered all day starting bright and early tomorrow morning.

All that said, here’s our final look at the SEC’s commitment lists according to quantity, quality, and high-end stars… followed by our pre-signing day rankings.  (As always, we’re using the star-rankings provided by Rivals.com.)

Kouandjio’s Decision To Come Down To A Family Vote?

The father for five-star offensive lineman Cyrus Kouandjio told The Tuscaloosa News yesterday that a family vote may decide the players’ college destination.  And that’s probably not what Auburn fans want to hear.

As everyone already knows by this point, Kouandjio selected Auburn on national television yesterday only to get cold feet.  His coach said he “looked miserable” after making his choice. 

Kouandjio’s older brother Arie Kouandjio is already an offensive lineman for Alabama.

Currently, Auburn and Alabama are ranked in the Top 5 in most recruiting rankings.  Where the big lineman from Washington, DC goes will no doubt tip the scales in Bama’s direction… or Auburn’s on the rankings front.  In reality, those rankings don’t mean a thing, but in the state of Alabama… they’re just one more thing to hold over the head of your hated rival.

Kouandjio Is Holding Off On Signing

The fat lady has been sent back to the dressing room.  Key offensive line prospect Cyrus Kouandjio will delay signing his letter of intent to Auburn.  No one seems to be sure how long his delay will last.

The five-star prospect chose Auburn over Alabama today in a surprise move considering the fact his brother plays for the Tide.

Apparently his mind isn’t fully made up yet.

Kouandjio Hasn’t Signed Yet, Still “Confused”

Shortly after noon Cyrus Kouandjio — the nation’s top offensive line prospect — announced that the would be signing with Auburn.  As of yet, he still hasn’t… and the talking heads at ESPN wonder if he will at all.

Recruiting analyst Jamie Newburg said moments ago that he has been told by “someone very close to the situation he’s still very confused.”  According to Newburg, “this one might not be done for big Cyrus.”

Alabama is currently ranked #1 in Rivals’ rankings.  Auburn has climbed all the way to #2 on ESPN’s big board.  Whoever lands Kouandjio could ultimately claim the impressive (and utterly meaningless) recruiting national championship.

Kouandjio Picks Auburn Over Alabama

The #1 prospect in the nation according to The Sporting News has decided to play ball for Auburn.  Five-star offensive line prospect Cyrus Kouandjio announced his selection of Auburn over Alabama just a few minutes ago.

Kouandjio has an older brother who is already on Alabama’s team.  His brother told him to follow his heart.  Now he will… to The Plains.

Auburn and Alabama continue to trade signing day blows as both are on their way to Top 10 — if not Top 5 — nationally-ranked classes.
