The SEC is dominating the recruiting scene for the 2016 signing class.
And in other news, water is wet.
ESPN’s “Recruiting Nation” has released its final ESPN 300 for the 2016 class, which is the website’s rankings of the best 300 players.
Among the Top 100 on that list are 27 SEC commitments. Eight different schools are represented among those players.
ESPN has two Ole Miss commitments ranked in the Top 10. OT Gregory Little is the No. 2 ranked player, and DT Benito Jones is the No. 7 player.
In somewhat surprising news, only three of those 27 are committed Alabama, with the highest-rated being OT Jonah Williams at No. 25.
