Yes, stever, the sky is falling because Auburn got a couple nice recruits.

In 2003 Mississippi had the #10 recruiting class, LSU #2, Arkansas #11, Missouri #4.
In 2004 Arkansas was #6, Missouri #21, Alabama #23, Mississippi State #25, LSU #26.
In 2005 Mississippi State #4, Alabama #10, Georgia #11, LSU #13, Auburn #22.
In 2006 Tennessee #10, Arkansas #18.
In 2007 Alabama #13.
In 2008 Tennessee #5, Alabama #12, Arkansas #22.
In 2009 Alabama #21, Mississippi #26.
In 2010 Tennessee #7, Missouri #13, Alabama #19, LSU #29, Auburn #32.
In 2011 Arkansas #7, Alabama #9, Mississippi State #14
In 2012 you got me, but even then a #35 Auburn squad pulled 1 top 100 recruit and a guy ranked 106.
In 2013 LSU #5, Arkansas #13, Missouri #19, Alabama #26.
In 2014 Missouri #13, Alabama #24, Auburn #30.
In 2015 Auburn #19, Mississippi State #20.

What can we glean from this? SEC teams are going to pull good players to mediocre SEC programs. Happens every year.

He and hoyahooligan. 'Hooligan who gives a crap about where you finish in recruiting. You either finish first or last in recruiting.

St. John's nor Marquette, as one poster mentioned, basically wasn't on "par" with Auburn, Mississippi State, and Alabama.
