Alabama No. 1, but SEC teams have a big signing day
OXFORD, Miss. (AP) — The Southeastern Conference — at least compared to its recent his- tory — struggled some on the football field this season. But many of the league’s 14 teams were among the best in the country on national signing day, with six of the nation’s top 12 classes coming from the SEC, according to the 247Sports com- posite rankings posted on Wednesday night. Alabama finished at No. 1 in the recruiting rankings for the seventh straight season, pulling in six five-star recruits and an impressive 18 four-star recruits. Georgia, LSU, Auburn, Florida and Texas A&M couldn’t quite match the Crimson Tide, but weren’t far behind. Alabama coach Nick Saban isn’t concerned about where his class or particular players are slotted in the national rankings. “I don’t know anything about that,” Saban said. “We kind of eval- uate the players like we’re going to draft them and take the guys that meet the criteria, the critical fac- tors that we want at positions.” Alabama’s six five-star players included prized running back Najee Harris, who Saban called “very complete.” It’s probably not surprising that second-year Georgia coach Kirby Smart pulled in a big class. After all, he learned under Saban for several years while he was the Crimson Tide’s defensive AP photo coordinator.
