SEC Rebounds!

After and early morning period in which four of the better prospects switched and left the conference, the SEC has begun to make its move.

Ole Miss and Arkansas pulled upsets to start the SEC run. Houston Dale Nutt pulled off a major recruiting coup in landing 5-star Hargrave running back Enrique Davis. He signed with Auburn last season but did not qualify. Davis could start right away and is easily the best player in this Ole Miss class - Darius Barksdale aside.

Bobby Petrino also made big news around noon today. Longtime USC commit Joe Adams is a dynamic prospect. He switched and signed with the Razorbacks.

Adams is a special, do-it-all type athlete. He does not run — he glides. Even his lateral, open-field movements are very smooth. He runs the underneath routes as well as any other prospect in the nation. Once he’s got a step, he is gone. Adams’ top-end speed is blistering, and he will get to the edge consistently. He is comfortable carrying the ball out of the backfield and has the potential to be a really solid return specialist also.

Then again, Adams could be a cornerback. In the mold of a Champ Bailey or Charles Woodson, Adams could find himself on both sides of the ball. He has the room to get bigger and stronger. There is no doubting his raw athletic ability. With the physical tools that he has, Adams could find himself at a variety of positions on the next level. His natural instincts are strong and will carry him a long way into the early development process.

Kentucky also won a nice prize in homegrown wide receiver Aaron Boyd. He should step in and help right away and is likely the top prospect in this Wildcat class - at the minimum he is the best prospect in the state of Kentucky.

Vols fans had a nice start to the day with the signing of Thomasville, NC athlete E.J. Abrams-Ward. This tall, lanky prospect could play on either side of the ball.
