Big Ten Recruiting Class Rankings 3-21

Submitted by Tim on

There have been a lot of requests for this to become a recurring feature (as it was on Varsity Blue), so I'll post the rankings weekly in the diaries, and frontpage it occasionally. The team rankings are very rough estimates until the services have released more full individual grades.

Action since last rankings:

3-12-10 Indiana gains commitment from Mike Replogle.
3-15-10 Ohio State gains commitment from Antonio Underwood.
3-16-10 Ohio State gains commitments from Brian Bobek, Chase Farris, and DerJuan Gambrell.
3-20-10 Notre Dame gains commitment from Brad Carrico

Big Ten Recruiting Class Rankings
Rank School # of Commits Rivals 250 Scout Average ESPN 150
1 Ohio State 7 1 1.86 1
2 Minnesota 3 1 2.67 2
3 Michigan 3 1 1.67 1
4 Michigan State 2 1 3.00 1
5 Notre Dame 1 0 3.00 0
t-6 Illinois 1 0 1.00 0
t-6 Indiana 1 0 1.00 0
t-6 Northwestern 1 0 1.00 0
9 Iowa 0 0 0 0
10 Penn State 0 0 0 0
11 Purdue 0 0 0 0
12 Wisconsin 0 0 0 0

I'll only make charts for the teams that currently have commits. Rivals 250 means that a given prospect is on the Rivals 250 to Watch, and ESPN 150 means that a prospect is on the Watch List for the ESPNU 150. Scout ratings are on the 5-star scale.

Look at the title of this post... Big Ten Recruiting Class Rankings 3-21... (as if we were looking at teams number 3 through team number 21...) Get it? That would make it appear as if the Big Ten is expanding past the speculated 12... Hmmmmmm... I could go slower if that would help... (Irish fans... sheesh!)
