Michigan adds a commitment this week, so the recruiting rankings are front-paged. Also, Penn State begins their post-sanction slip down the board and there's a new team at the bottom of the list. Changes since the last rankings:

7-23-12: Ross Douglas decommits from Penn State.
7-24-12: Michigan picks up Ross Douglas. Michigan State picks up Devyn Salmon.
7-25-12: Keelon Brookins decommits from Minnesota. Wisconsin picks up Keelon Brookins.
7-26-12: Indiana picks up Demetrius Hill.
7-28-12: Notre Dame picks up Jamel James. Ohio State picks up Tim Gardner. Purdue picks up Keyante Green.

You left off one of Penn State's recruits.  Brennan Franklin is an NR LB from Arizona who committed right after the sanctions were announced.  He also had interest, but no offers from powerhouses like Toledo, Washington, and Colorado.

I would argue that Penn State has Northwestern beaten by a large margin.  Despite the 3 less recruits their star average is 0.74 above northwestern.

Assuming I did the math right, if we pick up Green and Treadwell, we'll get to 3.75 average star rating.  Not too shabby.

Six of PSU's 12 commits reaffirmed their commitments to the school: Breneman, Hackenberg, Sickels, Mahon, Fuller, and Nelson.  The others are anyone's guess. I don't think anyone would be surprised if most of the remaining six bail on PSU.

Ace,

I aoppreciate all your work, but the numbers are not accurate. Rivals has OSU listed with a 3.83 avg star rating. Your numbers show 3.69.  I realize you need to make Michigan's Avg/avg come out on top to justify your work, but I am calling bullshit on you.

If you add up the rating for all the recruits counting the NR guy as 2 stars then divide by 16 you get 3.69.  Fairly simple stuff.

I went back and checked the rivals site again. They have the same rating for Michigan as Ace. 3.57, is that a coincidense? I stick to my original statement. Bullshit, its fairly simple stuff. If you are going to copy a recruiting service, then do it accurately, its fairly simple stuff.

Michigan's numbers match because they don't have any unranked recruits. OSU's don't because they do. Rivals doesn't count unranked recruits at all in their averages. If you think that's more accurate, fine. You'd be wrong, but that's fine. Anyhow, Ace explains how he calculates the averages and he did it the same way when Michigan had unranked recruits.

Rivals rankings methodology—helpfully linked directly from the team rankings page—is not the same as my methodology, which counts all commits and does not add extra weight to Rivals250 recruits.

You could save yourself a lot of time and inaccuracy by just copying 247's composite ratings. They give equal weight to all the recruiting services you list. Why would you list a recruiting site, then not use their rating? If you want to use your own rating system then just label it Ace's rating, it's fairly simple.

Can't say the same about OSU, but I think USC makes a lot of unrealistic promises to recruits with regards to playing time and expectations.  Many guys who would be starters at many other universities are being sold a load of BS and promises and get there, figuring they'd get a chance to play for a National Championship, but to find out too late that they get to watch an NC being won from the bench.

USC is selling playing time on one of the favorites to win it all. That appeals to elite recruits. Penn St. will be selling playing time on a mediocre team looking at a multi-year bowl ban. That's not likely to appeal to a similar level of talent.
