5 of the top 8 recruiting classes right now are SEC schools.

Proof that Auburn is single handedly dragging the conference to the top. It was inevitable that this happen though:

- Dominate conference in football
- Dominate conference in baseball
- Soon to be dominate in basketball

Are you guys really prepared for an all SEC final four? If not please start because it will be a reality within 3 years.

The SEC needs to crack the Top 3 in CBB conferences before they worry about being #1. Theyre 4th or 5th now ( id say 5th but wouldnt be outraged if someone said 4th )

SEC has always been able to get top recruits due to the huge athletic budgets their schools have.

But the kids leave early or the talent can't gel.

Totally inconsistent. A team can make the final 4 and then not make the tournament for a decade.

I will never fear SEC Hoops in basketball.

There are like 4 programs I would even be confident scheduling a home and home with over a 2 year stretch to bank on them being quality scheduling for both years.

Excellent. We are going to own CBB while you guys are asleep at the wheel.

Only like 3 fanbases can even engage with you from a Duke basketball standpoint.

Let's not kill all that momentum by allowing football to enter the convo

Something is funky with the Hoop site right now

fwiw, the SEC finished with one team inside of kenpom's top 30 this past season

the ACC, in a notable down year, still had three teams in kenpom's top 30

Outside of Bobby Portis and Daniel Gafford, the biggest issue Mike Anderson had in recruiting was letting the blue chip in-state guys get away to programs like Kentucky and Florida. Hopeful that Muss being able to land 4 out of the 5 big time in-state recruits for this class will be the shot in the arm we need to getting back to the tournament on a consistent basis.

9 new players on next year's roster, should be interesting to see how it plays out. You'd think with all the respected coaches programs around the league have hired in the last few years that the conference would be on the rise soon.

Muss is great. I firmly believe you were a tournament team this year if not for injuries. My guess is next year you'll be a single digits seed in the tournament.

Yea, they should be up a tier and Ucla has become somewhat of a college basketball pariah

Based on consistency I would put Gonzaga in great. Otherwise, pretty decent list although ... rewarding programs for shit they've done decades ago, like Cal.
