SEC rules recruiting

The Southeastern Conference reigns supreme on the recruiting trail. Alabama is poised to bring in another top-rated recruiting class on Wednesday’s national signing day for football. Six SEC rivals also have built top-10 classes, according to the 247Sports composite rankings of the major recruiting sites. Based on the rankings, the SEC is cleaning up. ESPN.com has four SEC classes ranked in the top 5: No. 1 Alabama, No. 2 Texas A&M, No. 4 LSU and No. 5 Tennessee. ESPN national recruiting director Tom Luginbill thinks the Pac-12 stands the best chance of closing the gap on the SEC on Wednesday. Five of the 15 prospects with five-star ratings are Alabama-bound, including offensive tackle Cameron Robinson and defensive end (pictured). – AP
