Huge week for the Bucks with tons of commits. Their remaining slots are probably reserved for specific guys they know they’ll get (i.e. Marcus Hall).

| C | *** | Ty Howle |
| CB | *** | Stephon Morris |
| WR | *** | Brandon Felder |
| OG | * | Frank Figueroa |
Curtis Drake is being brought in as a QB unless the Nittany Lions get a top-notch signal caller in this class (in which case he will likely be a WR). Penn State has a quantity-over-quality class right now.

| RB | ***** | Cierre Wood |
| MLB | **** | Carlo Calabrese |
| RB | **** | Theo Riddick |
| DT | **** | Tyler Stockton |
| OL | *** | Alex Bullard |
| TE | *** | Jake Golic |
| LB | *** | Dan Fox |
| P | * | Ben Turk |
| K | * | Nicholas Tausch |
Nothing new for Notre Dame. Is Charlie’s gravity losing its pull?

| RB | **** | Edwin Baker |
| RB | **** | Larry Caper |
| SLB | **** | Chris Norman |
| WR | *** | Donald Spencer |
| DT | *** | Blake Treadwell |

Montee Ball, Brian Wozniak, and Travis Frederick commit to the Badgers.
| #6 Minnesota – 6 commits | ||
| QB | **** | Moses Alipate |
| RB | *** | Hasan Lipscomb |
| C | *** | Ed Olsen |
| OT | *** | Josh Campion |
| WR | * | Victor Keise |
| DE | * | Nick Rengel |
Keise will probably end up a low 3-star/high 2-star. Same with Rengel.
| #8 Illinois – 4 commits | ||
| DT | **** | Lendell Buckner |
| OT | **** | Leon Hill |
| CB | * | Joelil Thrash |
| FB | * | Greg Fuller |
The Illini pick up two unrated commits.
| #10 Northwestern – 4 commits | ||
| QB | *** | Evan Watkins |
| RB | * | Mike Trumpy |
| DE | * | Anthony Battle |
| WR | * | Drew Moulton |
Two unrated commits for Northwestern.
| #9 Iowa – 2 commits | ||
| OT | *** | David Barrent |
| FB | * | Brad Rogers |
Ferentz’s glory days in recruiting seem to be over. Barrent drops to 3 stars in Scout update.
| #11 Purdue – 1 commit | ||
| S | * | Ismael Aristide |
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.
| #12 Indiana – 3 commits | ||
| DE | * | Josh Keyt |
| QB | * | Edward Wright-Baker |
| S | * | Nick Zachery. |
Keyt is a long snapper/DE who will greyshirt, according to IUFootball (who deserves props: writing about Indiana football has to be among the most thankless jobs out there). Hoosiers grab Nick Zachery.
