The conference with the most top-end commitments is the SEC. Known as a football recruiting super power, the SEC has really picked things up recently on the basketball side, and the conference has a high of six commitments ranking within the Top 50.
This is especially impressive considering Kentucky hasn’t reeled in any top-flight commitments yet, and there is no doubt John Calipari will have things rolling on the recruiting trail.
Auburn has been leading the way in the SEC. Bruce Pearl’s haul currently is the best in the nation, and it is led by Auburn legacy recruit Austin Wiley, who is the No. 13 overall prospect. (His mother and father were both Auburn student-athletes.) Also Auburn has Top 50 pledges from point guard Davion Mitchell as well as forward Chuma Okeke.
Also Mississippi State has a five-star pledge in Nick Weatherspoon, while Vanderbilt, Texas A&M and Arkansas have landed Top 100 prospects.
Overall the SEC is off to a great start, and once Kentucky gets it going, things could be looking better than ever for hoops talent entering the conference.
