SEC Signing Day

SEC Signing Day
by PaulsboroNJIrish (2019-02-07 09:38:37)

Casually looked at some of the scroll at the bottom of ESPN to see one after another SEC school pick up another recruit. My question is why did it seem that the sec was almost exclusive in this? Do they work harder to "flip" kids? Are the "type" of kid they recruit, like blue chips, more likely to wait to sign? Is there anything eligibility wise that has some kids wait to sign? Or is the recruiting battle in the SEC just that much more intense in respect to "poaching" kids within the sec (noticed those that flipped generally flipped from one SEC school to another).

Also would like to know opinions on if/when that changes? Has the talent level in the SEC risen the past 10-15 years or was it generally always higher in that conference?
