The Irish grab two prospects, is big-timer Chris Watt on the horizon?
| #5 Wisconsin – 9 commits | ||
| DT | **** | Jared Kohout |
| OG | *** | Ryan Groy |
| DE | *** | Shelby Harris |
| QB | *** | Jon Budmayr |
| OT | *** | Zac Matthias |
| RB | *** | Montee Ball |
| TE | *** | Brian Wozniak |
| MLB | * | Chris Borland |
| OL | * | Travis Frederick |
Wisconsin moves past Michigan State because I give slightly more value (up to a bonus star) to any offensive lineman that Wisconsin deems worthy (and they have 3 so far in this class).
| #6 Michigan State – 9 commits | ||
| RB | **** | Edwin Baker |
| RB | **** | Larry Caper |
| SLB | **** | Chris Norman |
| WR | *** | Donald Spencer |
| DT | *** | Blake Treadwell |
| QB | *** | Andrew Maxwell |
| WR | *** | Patrick White |
| WR | *** | Dana Dixon |
| OL | * | Micajah Reynolds |
| OL | * | Nate Klatt |
Nate Klatt becomes a Spartan.
| #7 Minnesota – 8 commits | ||
| QB | **** | Moses Alipate |
| RB | *** | Hasan Lipscomb |
| C | *** | Ed Olsen |
| OT | *** | Josh Campion |
| WR | * | Victor Keise |
| DE | * | Nick Rengel |
| OL | * | Brooks Michel |
| K | * | Dan Orseske |
Keise, Rengel, and Michel probably low-3/high-2 guys. Kickers are rarely rated very well.
| #8 Illinois – 5 commits | ||
| DT | **** | Lendell Buckner |
| OT | **** | Leon Hill |
| WR | *** | Steve Hull |
| CB | * | Joelil Thrash |
| FB | * | Greg Fuller |
Steve Hull to the Illini.
| #9 Indiana – 9 commits | ||
| DT | *** | Adam Replogle |
| WR | *** | Jamonne Chester |
| WR | *** | Duwyce Wilson |
| DE | * | Josh Keyt |
| QB | * | Edward Wright-Baker |
| S | * | Nick Zachery |
| LB | * | Jeremy Gainer |
| S | * | Kenny Watkins |
| S | * | Demetrius Carr |
| S | * | Ted Bolser |
Indiana gets a boatload of commits. Keyt will be a 2-star (he is being brought in as a greyshirt long-snapper), Gainer might end up a mid-to-high 3-star, and the rest will be in the low 3-star range.
| #10 Northwestern – 4 commits | ||
| QB | *** | Evan Watkins |
| RB | * | Mike Trumpy |
| DE | * | Anthony Battle |
| WR | * | Drew Moulton |
Northwestern is still in on a couple of big-timers. Will they be able to land one?
| #11 Iowa – 2 commits | ||
| OT | *** | David Barrent |
| FB | * | Brad Rogers |
Ferentz’s glory days in recruiting seem to be over.
| #12 Purdue – 2 commit | ||
| S | * | Ishmael Aristide |
| WR | * | Gary Bush |
Not sure where Aristide will be ranked, but it has to be a more important commit than a long-snapper. He was on the verge of becoming a big prospect before a junior year injury.
