OU is going to kill it recruiting in SEC territory. This is only going to strengthen OU, not weaken it. Anyone thinking otherwise doesn't know what they are talking about.
The jury is out on that. Kids in the southeast (outside of Arkansas and Texas which are not really southeast) view Oklahoma as a Midwestern school far from where they grew up.
With the right program and head coach you can be a Tennessee, Notre dame or Oregon and successfully recruit nationally - but, when the playing field is generally equal, you will recruit at a disadvantage to the Ohio, Georgia, or Florida schools that can get a large percentage of their players in state and recruit more regionally.
The risk exists for degrading into a Nebraska if too many of the national and regional players are going elsewhere and your in state talent is inadequate.

I think you also have to look at a world in which Saban is retired. He just turned 70 and I suspect he may be thinking about it by 75. It really is not that far off.
