Big Ten 2009 Recruiting Class Rankings 2-8-09

Action since last rankings (pace yourself; there’s a lot):
1-28-08 Iowa gained commitment from Jake Reisen.
1-30-09 Indiana gains commitment from Griffen Dahlstrohm(!).
2-1-09 Michigan State gains commitment from Jairus Jones.
2-2-09 Ohio State gains commitment from Marcus Hall. Illinois loses commitments from Jamar Bass and Cornelius Carradine. Purdue gains commitment from Antavian Edison.
2-3-09 Ohio State loses commitment from Justin Green. Illinois gains commitment from Justin Green. Michigan gains commitment from Quinton Washington. Illinois gains commitment from Michael Buchanan.
2-4-09 Michigan loses commitments from Pearlie Graves and DeQuinta Jones. Michigan gains commitments from Denard Robinson, Adrian Witty, and Je’Ron Stokes. Penn State gains commitment from Justin Brown. Notre Dame gains commitment from Manti Te’o.  Illinois loses commitment from Kraig Appleton. Wisconsin gains commitment from Kraig Appleton. Minnesota gains commitment from Eric Carter. Minnesota gains commitment from Eric Jacques. Purdue gains commitment from Kevin Pamphile.
2-6-09 Notre Dame gains commitment from Roby Toma.
2-7-09 Illinois loses commitment from Darryl Lee.

These won’t quite be the final rankings, as a few schools (Michigan among them) may pick up a late recruit or two. I may also give another set of rankings when we know who has enrolled for the fall. First 2010 rankings should be coming next week, as long as there are no changes to the 2009 classes.

Bolded players are already enrolled at their school of choice.

    remind me, what do bold names mean?

  2. Tim says...

    Guys who are already enrolled. Post updated with that info as a reminder.

  3. Jacques Auef says...

    interesting that MSU, with their better than UM’s recruiting class, has no one enrolling early.

  4. Tim says...

    Why aren’t there air quotes around “better than UM’s?”

  5. Jacques Auef says...

    maybe because i effed up. Should have used “‘s.

    Please keep in mind who and who doesn’t “qualify” for each team. Should know that by august, right?

  6. tazredii says...

    Any word on whom RR may be looking at after signing day? We have a bunch of scholarship slots to give.

  7. I know nothing says...

    Tim, can you put up the 2010 rankings, quickly, so you can show UM at #1 at this point? It would be nice to beat osu for once, as short lived as it may be!!! 3 4 star WR’s to start is not too shabby.

    Go Blue!!

  8. Tim says...

    Haha, I wish. OSU already has a couple 5-stars and one other guy committed for 2010.

  9. Pete says...

    Why is Q. Washington listed as a DT? Did I miss something?

  10. Tim says...

    Oops, I put him in the slot of one of the DTs and forgot to change position. Should be OL.
