Checked out the Rivals state lists of recruits. Here are the current number of commits of four and five star recruits:
Big 12 states have 50 four and five stars [Texas has 43 of those]. Commits by conference:
Big 12..................................................15 [Baylor has eight of those]
SEC....................................................13 [TAM has six of those, LSU and Arky have three each, and Bama one]
Pac 12..................................................2
Big 10...................................................0
ACC......................................................0
SEC states have 139 four and five stars. Current commits by conference:
SEC...................................................75
ACC [3 states shared with SEC].......24
Big 10 [mostly tOSU] ..........................9
Pac 12 [USC]......................................2
ND.......................................................3
Big 12...................................................0
Big 10 states have 65 four and five stars.
Big 10................................................35
ND......................................................5
SEC....................................................2
ACC [one shared state]......................8
Big 12................................................0
Pac 12 states have 66 four and five stars
PAC 12.............................................31
Big 10.................................................4
Big 12 [OU 2, UT 1]............................3
ND.....................................................2
ACC...................................................2
ACC states have 121 four and five stars, but share three states with SEC and one with Big 10.
ACC.................................................43
SEC.................................................45
Big 10..............................................8
Pac 12..............................................5
Big 12 [actually OU]..........................3
ND....................................................3
Conclusions:
TAM to the SEC was the worst thing which could have happened to the conference
The Big 12 is really slipping in comparison to the other conferences.....even the ACC
Conference loyalty is by far the weakest in the Big 12 states.
Footnote: I did this research early this morning before going to church. I tried to go back and double check a few items before writing this, but got the note that Rivals was updating the data base, so some of this might be slightly off, but it's essentially right.;
