Here are the SEC rankings and the Ole Miss position.

On Thursday, we’ll reexamine the final tabulation. A great deal of volatility always occurs at the end of the process and 2016 should be no exception. However, where Ole Miss ranks going in (according to 247 Sports) is a great position to have. We’ll update the signings as these happen this morning.

Pre-Signing Alignment:

1. LSU

      22 Commits – Five Stars 2 / Four Stars 16

4. Ole Miss 22 Commits – Five Stars 2 / Four Stars 7

7. Florida 26 Commits – Five Stars 0 / Four Stars 9

8. Alabama 17 Commits – Five Stars 1 / Four Stars 9

11. Georgia 16 Commits – Five Stars 2 / Four Stars 8

17. Auburn 17 Commits – Five Stars 0 / Four Stars 8

18. Texas A&M 19 Commits – Five Stars 0 / Four Stars 8

20. Arkansas 21 Commits – Five Stars 1 / Four Stars 4

24. Kentucky 25 Commits – Five Stars 1 / Four Stars 2

26. Tennessee 17 Commits – Five Stars 0 / Four Stars 6

27. S. Carolina 23 Commits – Five Stars 0 / Four Stars 4

47. Vanderbilt 19 Commits – Five Stars 0 / Four Stars 2

      Quarterback from Brandenton, Florida – 5-star who is arguably best quarterback in USA

2. Benito Jones Defensive Tackle from Wayne County – 5-star force who has unlimited potential!

3. Charles Wiley WDE from Stockbridge, Georgia – 4 stars

4. Gabe Angel Tight End from Cookeville, Tennessee – 4 stars

5. Eli Johnson Center from Oxford

6. Greg Eisworth Safety from Grand Prairie, Texas

7. Donta Evans Linebacker from Lawrenceville, Georgia
