Experiencing relatively little drama during NSD, Bama hauls in an impressive class. Based on some of the comments flying back and forth, I took some time to look at the top prospects by state and which SEC schools they chose. Since FSU has been in our backyard, I included them to see how they performed.

Here's a breakdown by state for the top 25 and top 5 recruits for GA, LA, FL, AL, TN and MS:

Top 25 from each state

State: AL | GA | FL | LA | MS | TN

Aubie 5 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1

Arky 1 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1

BAMA 8* | 5 | 1 | 2 | 0 | 1 *Philon is up in the air - we possibly had to offer a greyshirt

FSU 2* | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 *Winston has yet to sign

Gators 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0

GDogs 0 | 5 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 1

LSU 1 | 1 | 0 | 13 | 1 | 0

MS St 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 11 | 1

SCAR 0 | 4 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0

TA&M 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0

Vandy 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 6

Vols 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 2

Here's where it gets interesting when going for star pt avgs on recruiting boards.

Top 5 from each state (so these numbers would be inclusive of the numbers above).

State: AL | GA | FL | LA | MS | TN

Aubie 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1

Arky 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0

BAMA 3 | 1 | 1 | 2 | 0 | 0

FSU 2* | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0

Gators 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0

GDogs 0 | 3 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 1

LSU 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0

Miss St 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 2 | 0

SCAR 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0

TA&M 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0

Vandy 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 6

Vols 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1

The Vols got thumped by getting outrecruited by Vandy in the top 25 and only pulling 1 top 5 recruit in their home state.

Aubie missed on the bigger in-state talent and we took the GA boys.

LSU pulled the best in state but lost out on their top tier talent with Bama poaching 2 of their top 5.

Despite appearances, the GA bulldogs still pulled 3 of their top 5 in state recruits. Georgia was fertile cruitin' grounds this year.

Miss St dominated in state but the talent wasn't that great.
