What the list says

The SEC owns this list with 8 of the top 25. If you're recruiting against the conference, you're recruiting against the position's deepest pool.

The class makeup is balanced: 11 seniors, 1 freshmen, and the rest in between. No senior cliff to plan around, but no obvious "build around them for four years" young anchor either.
