Updated 2019 Team Recruiting Rankings: SEC currently boasts half of the top 18 classes in the nation

If you take a look at the top of the team recruiting rankings for the 2019 recruiting cycle, one thing should immediately jump out to you — there’s a whole lotta SEC teams listed.

With the NCAA recruiting calendar currently in a dead period and high school all-star camps taking place all over the country, we thought it would be a good time to take a look at where things stand in the 2019 recruiting cycle with the first signing period roughly six months away.

However, if you are not totally satisfied with your school’s place on the list, things could be changing in a hurry. Don’t be surprised to see some movement on this list with The Opening Finals starting Saturday and running into next week. There are always commitments at that event and this year will be no different. Where the elite prospects end up will inevitably change these rankings.

Here is a look at where every SEC team is currently ranked by 247Sports Composite Team Recruiting Rankings heading into July.
