It’s still early in the process, but here’s an early look at how the 2011 recruiting classes are shaping up. Check out your favorite school or see where players from your high school have committed!
12. Vanderbilt – It’s not easy recruiting at Vandy, but having only two recruits committed at this stage is not a good sign. OL James Lewis could be a star in the making, though.
11. South Carolina – They have only seven players committed but all seem to be pretty solid. QB Martay Mattox is a dangerous QB that can run and throw.
10. Miss St. – They also have only seven committed players but have done a good job recruiting in-state. Jermaine Whitehead and C.J. Johnson are two off Mississippi’s best.
9. Ole Miss – Miss State is winning the in-state recruiting war, but the quality of talent coming in to Ole Miss is better. Cody Prewitt is considered by some as the best ATH in Mississippi. But the best recruiting job Houston Nutt has done this offseason was getting Jeremiah Masoli to transfer in.
8. Kentucky – This is a team to keep an eye on because they have 14 player committed. DB Glen Falukner could be the best player out of the state of Illinois and the best safety in the country.
7. Tennessee – What’s interesting about the Vols is that they have no in-state commitments. OL Alan Posey and DB Brian Randolph could do some damage right away.
6. Arkansas – Bobby Petrino has done a good job getting the in-state guys. Landing OL Brey Cook is huge who is the best player in Arkansas and the one of the best lineman in the country.
5. Auburn – They only have eight players committed, but they are some of the best players in the southeast. OL Reese Dismukes and OL Thomas O’Riley lead the way for the Tigers.
4. LSU – As usual, LSU held onto their in-state players which are some of the best in the country. La’El Collins is considered by many as the best player in Louisiana.
3. Georgia – 13 players have committed to play for the Red and Black and 11 of them are from the state of Georgia. Nick Marshall, Sterling Bailey and Christian LeMay are some of the names Dawg fans will know real well soon.
2. Florida – 10 players have committed to the Gators and they all fit the mold of Florida football. DE Jeoffrey Pagan is one of the best defensive linemen in the country and the best player from North Carolina.
1. Alabama – When you are the champs, everyone wants to be a part of it and ‘Bama has had no problems bringing the best recruits in. LB Brent Calloway is the best player in the state of Alabama and WR Danny Woodson is not far behind Calloway.
