So I know that this year's recruiting season isn't even over yet, but I thought it'd be fun to take a look at how the SEC is shaping out right now. So i evaluated each team and ranked them. Bottom line is SEC will be much better next year. Hope I wasn't biased!
Florida- Florida is losing their 3 leading scorers, F-Erik Murphy (12.8 ppg),G-Mike Rosario (12.5 ppg),G-Kenny Boynton-12.1 ppg). However they are still bringing in a top 10 recruiting class. Joining the Gators, G-Kasey Hill (#9- ESPN 100) and F-Chris Walker (#14- ESPN 100). Billy D always has a good team, and this year will be no exception.
Kentucky- Still a lot of question marks surrounding Cal's team for the 2013-14. However the bottom line is, this team will be the most talented in the SEC without a doubt. Gaining arguably the greatest recruiting class in CBB history.Adding 6 5 star recruits ( 5 of which are Mcdonald's AAs) Kentucky still needs to sort out their roster. But once that's finished, expect this team to make some noise.
Ole Miss-Losing Reginald Buckner and Murphy Holloway down low is bound to hurt the Rebs a lot. Not to mention their recruiting class so far is looking pretty weak (A 3 star and a couple of no-names). Don't expect the Rebs to be as good as they were last year.
Vanderbilt- A very young team, the dores are losing no one from last year's squad. But they are also helped out by the addition of Damian Jones (#82- ESPN 100). The dores showed some promise late last year in the SEC tourney, they should show some improvement with their experience from last year along with Jones joining the squad.
Missouri- Frank Haith's seat is getting hot, and the loss of three starters (Bowers, Oriakhi, and Bell) shouldn't help in cooling it down. However, Haith is bringing in a strong recruiting class, ranked 21st in the nation. Joining the Tigers are F- Jonathan Williams (#54 ESPN 100) and G- Wes Clark (#83 ESPN 100). UPDATE: HUGE blow with Pressey gone. Sorry Tigers
Tennessee- Make or break year for Coach Cuonzo Martin. Only contributor Big Orange is losing is Skylar Mcbee, the Vols are looking to finally make a return trip to the tournament. With a healthy Jerron Maymon, and incoming guard Robert Hubbs (#34 ESPN 100). Veteran leadership and experience will be the driving force of this team. GO BIG ORANGE!
LSU-Looking to be a very hot team. With a top 10 recruiting class and losing no notable players, Lsu is looking to become a powerhouse. Joining the Tigers are F-Jarrell Martin (#10 ESPN 300), F-Jordan Mickey (#54 ESPN 100), and G-Tim Quarterman (#84 ESPN 100)
Georgia- The one brightspot on this Bulldog team, KCP, is likely going to the draft. Georgia also has a terrible recruiting class coming in. Dog fight for the 13 seed in the SEC tournament this year? (Miss State + Georgia)
Mississippi State- One of the worst SEC teams i've ever had to watch. And besides a 3 star, they're looking at a pretty weak incoming class. Looks like Stansberry got out at the right time.
Texas A&M- TAMU is losing one of the most dynamic players in the SEC in Elston Turner. However, they do have a decent class coming in consisting of a couple of 3 stars. The aggies aren't gonna be a powerhouse, but they should be competitive.
Arkansas- Arkansas will be taking a big hit next season with the loss of G- BJ Young and(15.2 ppg, 3.2 apg) and G-Marshawn Powell (14.5 ppg, 5.4 rpg) to the draft. However the incoming Top 20 class consisting of F- Bobby Portis (#13 ESPN 100) and C-Moses Kingsley (#46 ESPN 100) will hope to fill the scoring void left by the dynamic Young. If Coach Anderson can get his boys to play well away from home(1-13 on the road last season) and fix the depleted frontcourt left by the departures of Young and Powell, Arkansas could crack the top 7 in the SEC.
Alabama- Anthony Grant's team seems to be one of the bubble teams every year (much like Tennessee). With all players from last year returning and an incoming top 35 class headed by C-Jimmie Taylor (#71 ESPN 100) and F-Shannon Hale (#94 ESPN 100) Alabama could easily be an SEC contender.
South Carolina- Frank Martin has successfully recruited a top 40 recruiting class headlined by G-Sindarius Thornwell (#39 ESPN 100). The gamecocks have lost no players, so they should show at least some improvement this year.
Auburn-Auburn was a young team last year that lost numerous close games, and their record didn't nearly show how good they actually were. Unfortunately the Tigers are losing a lot of talent this year, and the only real player they're getting out of their recruiting class is a 3 star. At the end of next season you can probably find them down at the bottom of the SEC with Mississippi State and Georgia.
Ranking the teams:
1)Kentucky
2)Florida
3)Tennessee
4)LSU
5)Alabama
6)Ole Miss
7)Vanderbilt
8)Arkansas
9) Missouri
10)Texas A&M
11)South Carolina
12)Auburn
