Compare to the previous edition of the recruiting class rankings. After no commits last week (I think one of the first ever since I’ve been doing the rankings), there’s been plenty of action this time around:
5-25-09 Notre Dame gains commitment from Alex Welch.
5-27-09 Michigan gains commitment from Jordan Paskorz.
Mild disclaimer: I’m not going to be super-diligent about checking all 3 rating services, except in the case of new commits or if the “OMG SCOUT 400” is released.
| #1 Michigan – 11 commits | ||||
| Name | Pos | Rivals | Scout | ESPN |
| Ricardo Miller | WR | **** | **** | 150* |
| Devin Gardner | QB | **** | **** | 150* |
| Marvin Robinson | S | **** | **** | 150* |
| Jerald Robinson | WR | **** | **** | 77 |
| Jeremy Jackson | WR | *** | *** | 150* |
| Stephen Hopkins | RB | *** | *** | 77 |
| Antonio Kinard | LB | *** | *** | 77 |
| Jordan Paskorz | DE | *** | *** | NR |
| Tony Drake | RB | *** | NR | 77 |
| Drew Dileo | WR | *** | NR | 75 |
| DJ Williamson | WR | NR | NR | NR |
Jordan Paskorz (hopefully) gets the defense train rolling for Michigan. Michigan’s got lots of commitments from slightly lesser-ranked guys, limiting their upside for the rest of the class. I’d be shocked if they finish the year at the top of this list.
| #2 Ohio State – 5 commits | ||||
| Name | Pos | Rivals | Scout | ESPN |
| Andrew Norwell | OL | **** | ***** | 150* |
| Jamel Turner | DE | **** | ***** | 150* |
| JT Moore | DE | **** | *** | 78 |
| Scott McVey | LB | *** | *** | 77 |
| David Durham | LB | *** | NR | 150* |
No change for the Buckeyes.
| #3 Penn State – 5 commits | ||||
| Name | Pos | Rivals | Scout | ESPN |
| Paul Jones | QB | **** | ***** | 150* |
| Adrian Coxson | WR | **** | **** | 150* |
| Silas Redd | RB | **** | **** | 79 |
| Mike Hull | LB | **** | **** | 77 |
| Luke Graham | OL | NR | *** | NR |
Penn State passes Notre Dame, as their commit list is far more impressive overall at this time.
| #4 Notre Dame – 3 commits | ||||
| Name | Pos | Rivals | Scout | ESPN |
| Chris Martin | DE | ***** | ***** | 150* |
| Alex Welch | TE | **** | *** | 79 |
| Christian Lombard | OL | *** | **** | 150* |
| Daniel Smith | WR | *** | **** | 78 |
Notre Dame picks up a pretty good tight end in Alex Welch.
| #5 Minnesota – 4 commits | ||||
| Name | Pos | Rivals | Scout | ESPN |
| Jimmy Gjere | OL | **** | **** | 79 |
| Lamonte Edwards | Ath | **** | *** | 76 |
| Antoine Lewis | WR | *** | *** | 76 |
| Tom Parish | QB | *** | NR | 73 |
Antoine Lewis gets 3-star ranking from Rivals.
| #6 Illinois – 3 commits | ||||
| Name | Pos. | Rivals | Scout | ESPN |
| Corey Cooper | CB | **** | **** | 150* |
| Chandler Whitmer | QB | *** | *** | 150* |
| Shawn Afryl | OL | *** | *** | 69 |
Nothing new for the Illini.
| #7 Michigan State – 2 commits | ||||
| Name | Pos. | Rivals | Scout | ESPN |
| Max Bullough | LB | **** | **** | 150* |
| Tony Lippett | WR | NR | NR | 78 |
Lippett still unrated. ESPN ranks him higher than most of Michigan’s commits, which like, wow, you’re dumb.
| #8 Iowa – 3 commits | ||||
| Name | Pos. | Rivals | Scout | ESPN |
| Austin Gray | LB | *** | *** | 77 |
| James Morris | LB | *** | *** | 74 |
| Jim Poggi | LB | NR | NR | NR |
Gray and Morris each get 3-star ratings from Rivals.
| #9 Wisconsin – 2 commits | ||||
| Name | Pos. | Rivals | Scout | ESPN |
| Konrad Zagzebski | LB | *** | *** | 76 |
| Marquis Mason | WR | *** | NR | NR |
Zagzebski and Mason still the only Badgers holding it down.
| #10 Indiana – 1 commit | ||||
| Name | Pos. | Rivals | Scout | ESPN |
| Andre Kates | CB | NR | NR | NR |
Indiana grabs JuCo Andre Kates to get on board.
Northwestern, Purdue – 0 commits.

I think Penn St should have passed OSU as well as ND. Jo Pa keeps stocking up, they may just send him to a taxidermist one of these days (if they haven’t already)!
