The SEC continues to dominate in the battle to build the best classes of 2016. The SEC has commitments from 11 of the top 50 players in the country, including three elite quarterbacks, and is in the mix to add more. With the all-star games coming up you can expect even more movement before national signing day. Several SEC targets remain uncommitted.
