SEC soaked up an unbelievable amount of talent this cycle.

My thoughts exactly. SEC is gonna be tough for several years to come, IMO.

By my count, the SEC took 26 of the ESPN 100, and four of the top ten, if you include Diallo. That seems like a lot for a "football conference."

Even if you remove the 8 UK recruits, that is still pretty impressive. 18 top 100 guys. 11 of the 14 teams grabbed at least one top 100 player.

Mizzou- 3
UF- 3
Bama- 2
LSU- 2
Arky- 2
Aub- 2
MSU- 1
UGA- 1
A&M- 1
Ole Miss- 1

(Note: Mizzou could get a fourth top 100, if Jontay Porter is able to reclassify.)

That and the returning talent should make for a much more competitive league. Just have to hope these teams can take care of business in the out of conference schedule so their RPI's aren't atrocious.

I can't say how this year stacks up against some of the past. But we've seen SEC have excellent recruiting hauls. Only to do nothing with it because of piss-poor coaching and schools that really don't seem to care much about basketball.

I like some of the recent coaching moves the SEC made, but I need to see more. SEC has had excellent recruiting classes very recently.
