Reaction to the SEC Signing Classes, Which Freshmen Could Player Immediately?, Big Winners & Losers of Signing Day? Dec 22, 2023

Show notes

On today's show, we recap a very busy National Signing Day and the aftermath with our Recruiting Insider Brian Smith. Who were the biggest Winners and Losers this week?

We start discussing what happened this week with the Florida Gators as Billy Napier lost some big names in his signing class, but salvaged the day by locking in QB DJ Lagway and D-lineman LJ McCray. We also get Brian's thoughts on Georgia and Alabama once again locking in top two ranked classes. And Texas & Oklahoma both did work in recruiting Top 10 classes as they both prepare for the move to the SEC.

In addition, Brian talks on Hugh Freeze's Top 10 class at Auburn as Cam Coleman and Amaris Williams should play early and often. LSU's class was solid but missing some wow factor, Tennessee could see early action from WR Braylon Staley and DE Jordan Ross.

Brian also gives his thoughts on Mike Elko and Jeff Lebby bringing in their first recruiting classes at A&M and Mississippi State. Shane Beamer needed a big haul at South Carolina, and Dylan Stewart and Josiah Thompson were good gets. Lane Kiffin and Ole Miss bring in a nice class, but are impressing more in the portal. Mizzou's Williams Nwaneri should be a Day 1 starter. Sam Pittman's class at Arkansas was justok, as was Kentucky's as QB Cutter Boley will look to push Brock Vandagriff. And Vandy's class was highlighted by four-star safety Dontae Carter.

On today's show, we go Around The Conference as we get you caught up on the latest in returnees and transfer portal announcements – Ole Miss is getting a haul of returnees as they try to build off their 10-win season a year ago with plenty of offensive weapons returning.
