It's funny to see individuals get in such an uproar over recruiting classes and who de-commits, and what schools are ranked higher than ours and because they have more 4 star and 5 star recruits those teams will beat us, etc. Would I like a few more 4 & 5 star recruits in SC's column, yes but I don't worry because it is what you do with them when you get them and our coaches get the most out of them and you only have to look at our record against the other schools over the last 3-4 years to prove that.
To me, the most important achievement we need is not 5star recruits but a SEC Championship. Until we win one of those, we will be looked at as a contender but that's all. These other schools have more tradition than us so they get by on that and get special props as well. We have worked our tails off to become a contender and we can compete with any one in the nation, but we desperately need to win the SEC to solidify our current success and for us to be really looked at as legit.
