Signing Period!

The signing period has began! A new trend is emerging - signing up a whole team in the same class. First it was the Ohio State dream team headlined by Greg Oden. Then it was the North Carolina team headlined by Brandan Wright. Now it looks like Oklahoma, UConn and Texas have a 5+ man team, while Syracuse is one player away from completing a team with its 2007 (!) class.

The biggest news was the non-news of Greg Oden signing with Ohio State.

It didn't take a rocket scientist to figure out Arizona would get Jerryd Bayless since Texas got DJ Augustin just 48 hours before Bayless was set to announce.

While the ACC, Pac 10, Big 12 and Big East are getting the star recruits, the SEC and Big 11 are struggling. Don't get me wrong they have gotten some really good players, but where are the star recruits - given that a lot of them come from SEC cities/states? At this rate Bruce Pearl is gonna have the best recruiting class in the SEC and ironically most of them are from anywhere but SEC country.
