Message: [QUOTE="DefenseBB, post: 3533713, member: 7492"] Not sure you're reading my comments as they are intended. SC can not have a #1 class every year as you simply would not have any room on the roster. Same goes for MSU who signed 4 players. Not ranking high this year makes sense. I am talking about ALL the other 12 programs in the SEC and their lack of gathering top players. Tennessee needs to have top recruits every year because top recruits transfer every year. :rolleyes: As far as my "derision" I am noting that the SEC is DEAD LAST in winning percentage of the P5 Conferences but 2nd in PAY. My gosh, Joni Taylor, 1st year coach making $750K? Matthew Mitchell with all of ONE Conference title making $1.2MILLION and where is his recruiting if he's so elite? This year with Jaz and Rhyne better be a banner year. Nikki McCray with just 3 years HC experience getting $750K while just 2 years ago Vic, who built that program was at $465k. Kellie Jolly Harper getting $750K. That's downright silly money. And what exactly have any of them proven? Like I said, I look at the list of coaches and I am not impressed. I asked directly what facts, stats or other evidence do you have that would change my view as why they should be ranked higher? As far as the other conferences-the Big12 is also a disaster with Coale at $1.1 mil and cupcake lover Stollings. Schneider for all is D3 success is an absolute bust for Kansas. The BigTen with McGuff at $1.175Million is also a major head scratcher, however the rest of those coaches are paid fairly appropriately. The adding irritant is not so much Tennessee (fans are still annoying as evidenced by the ORANGE in Hartford this year and their yapping before and during the game) but Andy "HOMER FOR THE SEC" Landers on the ESPN studio show and yes many, many of the SEC brethren on this forum who routinely tout how "awesome" the SEC is. I am simply stating some facts that contradict that. If that's derisive, so be it. But as I have said many, many times, Dawn deserves her salary and her esteem for what she's created at SC, regular success with multiple squads (Unlike Schaefer who needs to win with big T) and I respect Gary Blair and how he's been pretty good even since his title 9 years ago. Neighbors seems to be on the upswing but is very, very guard orientated and I am not how well that will play against SC and MSU. [/QUOTE]
