It stinks so much to be in the SEC.

You can put together a terrific recruiting class and it barely gets noticed because of all the powerhouse talent going to Alabama, Texas A&M, Georgia, and the rest of the giants.

But Shane Beamer put together something terrific after getting a year to work.

Like all newly hired head coaches, trying to get anything together after being on the job for ten minutes is tough. He put together a stunner of a 2021 season on the field, he was able to show where the program is headed, and that played a massive role in his overall recruiting class.

Start with getting QB Spencer Rattler from Oklahoma, keep it going with RB Christian Beal-Smith from Wake Forest, TE Austin Stoner from OU, S Devonni Reed from Central Michigan, and on and on and on.

Improving right now through the transfer portal wasn’t a problem. Then it became time to build for the future with Tanner Bailey his potential quarterback in a few years.

He landed a few nice defensive linemen and a whole lot of defensive backs to improve the all-around team speed and athleticism.

Again, it might not seem like much compared to some of those other SEC programs, but this might be a top 20 overall class to go along with even more interest from the transfer portal.

It was a big-time brand up class.
 
ESPN (for what that is worth), has the final class ranking at #17 nationally. Still only good for seventh within the SEC.
