And, to put it mildly, Clemson and
Clemson has taken the lead, ranked No.20 nationally on Scout’s list. The Gamecocks are 26th overall, and then comes the biggest surprise.
N.C.
And where is
East Carolina
What does all this tell us?
Our ACC schools are sort of flipped upside down. But the bottom line is that overall, the SEC (ouch!) is walloping the ACC in recruiting. Just consider that four of the top six schools in the rankings are SEC members.
That must be why my cohorts started that goofy SEC blog (just kidding fellas!)

It says that ranking a recruiting class nearly six months before signing day is laughable.
Rome wasn't built in a "day" either.
You must be a UNC fan.
Whats so surprising about Wake taking the lead amongst schools in North Carolina? Grobe is a great coach, and in the last 5-10 years, Wake has clearly had the best individual season of any of the schools in this State. And that includes when my Wolfpack went 11-3 in Rivers' junior year.
"N.C. State is a respectable 39th, with surprising Duke right behind at No.45.
And where is North Carolina? The Tar Heels are 59th, just behind Northwestern."
Looks like UNC-CH now has their own smoke and mirrors man at the helm.
We rank recruiting classes as we go along because it's interesting (everybody loves rankings), but also as more and more kids commit early. Classes are filling up fast, to the point where the Tar Heels won't have enough targets left to make much movement up the list if they don't get busy soon...
Butch Davis is making plans to leave UNC because he now knows he is not a Mac Brown recruiting success and you can see UNC is a laugh and the football strength will quickly go back to what it was in the Bunting years. Butch even made the statement that he didn't now where he would be in a few years from now and the dumb Tar Pit posters just ignored it instead of questioning that statement from his mouth about a week ago. This will be his last year when a good football college offers him a great job.
The reason many teams are as high as they are is due to the number of recruits, period. Clemson only has 2 4 star recruits (5 from Rivals), SC 4 4 star recruits (3 from Rivals), and UNC has 1 5 star (1 5 Star & 1 4 star from Rivals). The other issue is that UNC has 4 recruits who have not been rated (3 in Prep), meaning their stars will be adjusted later which will improve their standing.
Not to mention that Butch informed everyone that he has 9 recruits and 4 to 5 silent commitments and plans to take anywhere from 18 – 20 this year. That leaves only about 5 or 6 players left to fill the class.
Best bet is to use average stars, which are irrelevant until everyone has been evaluated and ranked.
By the way, Rivals has NCS at #1 in NC, followed by UNC, Duke, and then Wake.
Your goofy cohorts who started the SEC blog have one question:
How's that Wofford class shaping up?
