Big Ten Recruiting Class Rankings: 2-21
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.
Action since last rankings:
2-17-10 Northwestern gains commitment from IL CB Jarrell Williams.
2-18-10 Michigan State gains commitment from MI ATH Onaje Miller
2-20-10 Michigan gains commitment from MI WR Shawn Conway

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.
| #1 Ohio State - 2 Commits | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Name | Position | Rivals | Scout | ESPN |
| Steve Miller | DE | 250 | 4 | 150* |
| Kenny Hayes | DE | 250 | 4 | 150* |
The Buckeyes start their recruiting class with a couple bigtime defensive ends.
| #2 Minnesota - 2 Commits | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Name | Position | Rivals | Scout | ESPN |
| Tommy Olson | OL | 250 | 3 | 150* |
| Calvin Phillips | RB | NR | 4 | 150* |
Minnesota gets a good start to the 2011 class, but let's be honest: they'll both just end up decommitting anyway.
| #3 Michigan - 3 Commits | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Name | Position | Rivals | Scout | ESPN |
| Delonte Hollowell | CB | 250 | 3 | 150* |
| Greg Brown | CB | NR | 1 | 150* |
| Shawn Conway | WR |
NR | 1 | 40 |
The Wolverines pick up an in-state sleeper at Junior Day.
| #4 Michigan State - 1 Commit | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Name | Position | Rivals | Scout | ESPN |
| Onaje Miller | RB/Ath | NR | 1 | 45 |
The Spartans grab a Lansing native who will probably be a running back.
| #4 Northwestern - 1 Commit | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Name | Position | Rivals | Scout | ESPN |
| Jarrell Williams | CB | NR | 1 | 40 |
Northwestern gets on the board with a local product that hasn't caught the attention of the recruiting sites yet.
As I said earlier I think he can be a solid player. If he gets some speed working out with Barwis he could be really, really good.
Sounds like we're recruiting Conway as a WR.
Whoops, that was a copy/paste error. He's definitely a WR/TE, not a DB.
Tim, this may be a big pain...but i'll ask anyways. Can you make it so that the Michigan recruit's scores like to their profiles at the recruiting sites? Like Brown's "150*" be a link to his ESPN recruiting profile, this "NR" go to his Scout profiles, etc.
YMRMFSPA: Adrian Arrington...wishfull thinking I know but hey its the offseason.

Isn't Conway a wide receiver?
