This class feels a lot like Missouri’s to me. A&M signed a few big-name guys, and the rest of the recruits will start out pretty far down the depth chart. RB Trey Williams is one of the best running backs in the nation, and I think Williams will be a significant contributor next year.

Steve Spurrier continued to prove why he’s one of the best in the business in the 2011 campaign. Not only did he put together back-to-back 10-win seasons, he did it in 2011 after losing his QB and RB in mid-season. Fortunately for the Gamecocks, they only have to replace a few guys on the offensive side of the ball.

The Vols are looking to get back to the state of a premiere SEC program, and recruiting is a major part of the process. With the 2012 class, Derek Dooley is looking to build his young team back into an SEC power. We grade his 2012 class and analyze how well the Vols filled their needs this year.

Next up on our look at each SEC team’s signed recruiting class, we take a look at the LSU Tigers. Where are the holes that LSU needed to fill? How well did they replace key losses? We have the answers and the grade for the 2012 LSU class.

Vanderbilt had a great recruiting season for James Franklin. There is a ton of energy in Nashville right now surrounding this program. Check out their signing class report card:

Next up on our SEC 2012 class grades is Mississippi State. The Bulldogs lost a lot after a disappointing 2011 season, but Dan Mullen’s team managed to do a nice job filling needs headlined by the five-star Quay Evans. We grade the Bulldogs’ 2012 signed class.

Next up on our analysis of the SEC 2012 classes is the Arkansas Razorbacks. The Hogs lose a ton of production at wide receiver and their best defensive player in Jake Bequette. Were they able to fill their needs? We grade the 2012 signed class for the Arkansas Razorbacks.

As we continue our look around the SEC at the 2012 signed classes, we focus on the Auburn Tigers. With a team still in rebuild mode after the National Championship, Auburn also has to replace the running back production from the now departed Michael Dyer. We grade how well Auburn filled their needs with this year’s class.

We continue our look around the SEC at each team’s 2012 recruiting. We look at the Missouri Tigers’ class. Sure we know about Dorial Green-Beckham, but what other holes did the Tigers fill? We grade the SEC newcomers’ most recent class.

The Georgia Bulldogs had just a few needs to fill after the 2011 season, and Coach Mark Richt and Co did what they needed to do signing in a top ten 2012 class. We grade how we Georgia filled each need and the overall class.
