Class of 2014: Top-ranked by conference (AQ)
ACC -- Tim Brewster, Florida State: The Noles' recruiting coordinator and
former Minnesota head coach had a hand in seven pledges for the Noles and
was the primary for five-star running back Dalvin Cook (Miami, Fla./Central)
and five-star receiver Ermon Lane (Homestead, Fla.) -- both of whom flipped
from rival Florida. Brewster still may not be done, as five-star defensive
end Mailk McDowell (Southfield, Mich.) still has not signed a letter-of-
intent with Michigan State, where he verbally committed. The Seminoles are
in the thick of things and have some support within McDowell's family and
very well could land him when all is said and done (Ohio State and Michigan
also are in the mix), which would make Brewster's haul even more impressive.?
Big Ten -- Mike Locksley, Maryland: Locksley had the best individual effort
in the Terps' new league, playing a part in seven verbal commits, including
five-star offensive lineman Damian Prince (District Heights, Md./Bishop
McNamara) and U.S. Army All-American defensive end Jesse Aniebonam (Olney,
Md./Good Counsel). Locksley, Maryland's offensive coordinator, is one of the
best in the country at landing DC-area talent, which is good news for Terps
fans as the metro area figures to be a huge Big Ten battleground with Larry
Johnson now at Ohio State and former Maryland assistant James Franklin
leading the Penn State program.
Big 12 -- Kendal Briles, Baylor: There is a strong argument to be made that
the Bears signed the best class of receivers in the country in 2014 -- and
Briles, Baylor's recruiting coordinator, was the primary recruiter of record
for the headliners, including KD Cannon (Mount Pleasant, Texas), Davion
Hall (Texarkana, Texas/Liberty-Eylau) and Ishmael Zamora (Houston, Texas/
Alief Elsik). Briles, the son of Baylor head coach Art Briles, is one of the
best in the country at early identification of elite talent. The Bears
annually are the first scholarship offers of many for the best in the state
of Texas.
Pac-12 -- Tee Martin, USC: The Trojans finished the 2014 cycle with a bang -
- sweeping the "Los Angeles Three" -- cornerback Adoree' Jackson (Gardena,
Calif./Serra), safety/athlete John "JuJu" Smith (Long Beach, Calif./Poly)
and offensive lineman Damien Mama (Bellflower, Calif./St. John Bosco).
Martin was the primary recruiter of record for all three and finished No. 2
nationally behind McClendon in the national recruiter rankings. No single
recruiter had as big of a national signing day as Martin.
SEC -- McClendon: Landing five-star defensive end Lorenzo Carter (Norcross,
Ga.) on signing day pushed McClendon to the No. 1 spot. He was in contention
the entire cycle, however, as the primary recruiter for both of Georgia's
five-star running back signees- Nick Chubb (Cedartown, Ga.) and Sony Michel
(Fort Lauderdale, Fla./American Heritage). He also landed four-star receiver
Isaiah McKenzie, Michel's teammate, on signing day without McKenzie making
an official visit and two more Florida four-stars- defensive end Keyon Brown
(Wauchula/Hardee) and offensive guard Isaiah Wynn (St. Petersburg/Lakewood)
