National champion LSU will need to reload fast just to stay on top of the Southeastern Conference. Aside from Alabama, Florida and Georgia added highly touted recruiting classes to their already well-stocked rosters.

Rivals.com had Florida’s class ranked third and Georgia’s sixth. LSU was No. 11.

As usual, Oklahoma mined talent-rich Texas to put together another top recruiting class. The Sooners’ three highest rated players — defensive end R.J. Washington, running back Jermie Calhoun and offensive lineman Stephen Good — all played high school football in Texas.

The Sooners’ class was ranked fifth by Rivals.

Southern California coach Pete Carroll has been the king of recruiting since he took over the Trojans in 2001, consistently landing classes ranked in the top two or three nationally. USC was 7th according to Rivals.com, but don’t think the Trojans have slipped. Their ranking was held down because they signed only 18 players, while most teams inked at least 20. Alabama and Miami both signed 33.

“USC’s top 10 players would be right there with Ohio State’s at the top,” Lemming said.

Even without Pryor, Ohio State (No. 9), which also had a relatively small class of 19 signees, and Michigan (No. 10) had classes ranked in the top 10 by Rivals.com.

Pryor has until April 1 to make up his mind. Fans of the Buckeyes, Wolverines, Ducks and Nittany Lions will be anxiously awaiting.
