The wows and woes of signing day 2012..

Hello football fans. Scott here, and man it's been awhile. I was able to duck away from my very demanding schedule for a moment to discuss a little football. What better day to make time than the end of National Signing Day?

The SEC is stacked again with 10 schools falling into the top 25.

25.Vanderbilt
24.TCU
23.Tennessee
22.Texas Tech
21.Missouri
20.UCLA
19.Oregon
18.Auburn
17.California
16.LSU
15.South Carolina
14.USC
13.Texas A&M
12.Oklahoma
11.Miami
10.Stanford
9.Notre Dame
8.Clemson
7.Ohio State
6.Michigan
5.Georgia
4.Florida
3.Texas
2.Florida State
1.Alabama

Now a little detail:

Bama stole the spotlight once again, pulling the number 1 spot out in recruiting. Saban and company pulled in a hefty class of 28 with 13 in the ESPNU 150. This includes RB T.J. Yeldon, DB Landon Collins, and LB Reggie Ragland to name a few. What a haul.

WOE: Kwon Alexander snagged by LSU when Bama is losing so much on defense.



Auburn finished 18th, but more importantly, recruited in the right positions to fill some holes in the weak areas. With a class of 17 headlined by OT Avery Young, things are looking up for the tigers. Picking up QB Zeke Pike, WR Ricardo Louis, and CB Josh Holsey certainly can't hurt this young team in need of big time play makers.

WOE: T.J. Yeldon picked up by Alabama after Michael Dyer's departure.



Honorable mentions:

Missouri- Snagged top prospect WR Dorial Green-Beckham.
Tennessee- S LaDarrell McNeil tops a class containing 3 in the ESPNU 150.
LSU- OLB Kwon Alexander leads a hefty class of 22.
South Carolina- WR Shaq Roland comes in with a class of 24.
Texas A&M- WR Thomas Johnson and QB Matt Davis should give Kevin Sumlin's offense some firepower.
Georgia- Got a top 5 class. Georgia.... Got a top 5 class? 21 commits led by RB Keith Marshall. Look out East.
Florida- Landing the #4 class might lengthen Muschamp's stay in the swamp. DE Dante Fowler and DE Jonathon Bullard should bring Florida's D closer to SEC quality.
Vanderbilt- Congrats Coach James Franklin for pulling in what is possibly the best class in Vandy history. Look out for RB Brian Kimbrow.

Now, is it September yet???
