the demographics have shifted and the best players are concentrated in the SEC footprint and the SEC produces more NFL talent every year than the other conferences and it is perceived that the SEC is the best/toughest conference. So those top players can stay closer to home and play in what they think is the toughest conference that prepares them for the NFL.

So it's no surprise that SEC schools dominate recruiting rankings. SEC schools are also expanding their reach and now pull in top talent from the west coast as well. They got several top players from the West Coast, with the addition of A&M it has opened up Texas for them better than before.
