IMO Nick Perry is the most underrated guy in our signing class...he belongs a little further up the list.

Define Southeast. Philip Sims was not on the list and Virginia is definitely a Southeastern state. Also did not see any entry from here in the Old North State. Surely you folks still claim us a Southeastern state. At least we think we are.
Could it be that they are only ranking players from states that have a team in the Southeastern Conference? If so, that should be spelled out. This was/is very misleading.

how can any state with "North" in it's name be considered a Southern State?
You are kidding, right?

yeah, I went up to North Carolina the other week. It was something like 84 degrees with no humidity. It felt amazing. I can't place a state in the South category when it feels like that and I'm down here with it at 98 degrees, with the "Real Feel" or whatever it is at 107.
Virginia was the center of the Confederacy and if you've never spent a summer at Fort Bragg then I can tell you it is can get as hot and humid as anywhere in GA or AL. I agree both should be considered southern states but as far as the list I couldn't really care less what states they include as it doesn't change my opinion of their abilities or their position as national recruits.

I'm going to have to disagree with that. No place in CONUS stays as hot and humid as the swamps in lower..Alabama, Miss, and La. I could probably throw the Okefenokee in Ga in there as well. Oh, and we got skeeters the size of pigeons too
The Super Southeast 120 is obviously geared towards the SEC only states. It makes sense since the Press Register is a regional newspaper.

You may be right on those places but those are exceptions that defy all laws of nature.

Having lived in Mobile for a good period and hung out and worked in the Mississippi Gulf Coast area and lower Louisiana I stongly concur.
