Big Ten Recruiting Class Rankings 5-10-09
Posted by Tim on May 10, 2009

Compare to the previous edition of the recruiting class rankings. Rivals released an updated Rivals100, so most of the previously-committed guys have at least some form of ranking. I think when the next set of rankings come out, I may switch the Rivals scores from stars to their “RR” grades, whatever the hell they mean. Thoughts on the potential switch?

5-4-09 Penn State gains commitment from Luke Graham.
5-5-09 Illinois gains commitment from Chandler Whitmer.
5-7-09 Michigan State gains commitment from Tony Lippett.

Big Ten Recruiting Class Rankings 4-19-09
Posted by Tim on April 19, 2009

Compare to the previous edition of the recruiting class rankings. I’ve also added the ESPN rankings for the players that have them at this point. “150*” indicates they’re on the ESPNU 150 watchlist, and their numerical ratings (presumably higher than those who have been rated thus far) have not been revealed yet. Expect some new commits by the next update, as spring games at various schools should yield some recruiting returns.

4-14-09 Minnesota loses commitment from Konrad Zagzebski. Wisconsin gains commitment from Konrad Zagzebski.
4-17-09 Michigan gains commitment from Marvin Robinson.

#1 Michigan – 9 commits
Name Pos Rivals Scout ESPN
Ricardo Miller WR **** **** 150*
Devin Gardner QB **** **** 150*

Antonio Kinard LB NR *** NR
Stephen Hopkins RB NR *** 77
Tony Drake RB NR NR 77
DJ Williamson WR NR NR NR

Jeremy Jackson, Antonio Kinard, and Stephen Hopkins pick up 3-star ratings. At long last, the Wolverines also nab Marvin Robinson.

#2 Ohio State – 4 commits

Andrew Norwell OL **** ***** 150*
Jamel Turner DE **** ***** 150*
JT Moore DE **** *** 78
David Durham LB NR NR NR

JT Moore gets 3 stars from Scout.

#3 Notre Dame – 3 commits

Christian Lombard OL NR **** 150*
Daniel Smith WR NR **** NR

No change.

#4 Penn State – 2 commits
Name Pos Rivals Scout ESPN
Paul Jones QB **** ***** 150*
Mike Hull LB **** **** 77

No change for PSU. Paul Jones has softened his commitment, but both premium sites still regard him as a commit.

#5 Minnesota – 5 commits
Name Pos Rivals Scout ESPN
Jimmy Gjere OL **** **** NR
Antoine Lewis WR NR *** 76
Lamonte Edwards Ath NR *** NR
Tom Parish QB NR NR 73

Lewis and Edwards pick up 3-star ratings from Scout. The Gophers lose Konrad Zagzebski to Wisconsin.

#6 Illinois – 2 commits

Scout gives Afryl 3 stars.

#7 Michigan State – 1 commit

No change for Michigan State’s only commit, Max Bullough.

#9 Iowa – 1 commit

Morris and Gray each get evaluated as 3-star prospects by Scout.

Paul Jones has verbally decommitted from Penn State, but he’s still on the Rivals commit list, so in the rankings he shall stay. Keep in mind that he no longer considers himself committed to the Nittany Lions, though.

Big Ten 2010 Recruiting Class Rankings 3-29-09
Posted by Tim on March 29, 2009

Compare to the previous edition of the recruiting class rankings. The Scout 300 has been released, so a bunch of prospects achieved or changed ratings.

3-26-09 Michigan gains commitment from Tony Drake.

#1 Ohio State – 4 commits
Name Pos Rivals Scout ESPN

Robinson picks up a 4-star ranking from Scout. Surprising that none of Michigan’s other commits have been evaluated yet (mostly Jackson, who was considered to be a very likely 4-star, what with very early Florida and LSU offers). Commit-in-waiting Devin Gardner is a 4-star to both sites.

#4 Penn State – 2 commits
Name Pos Rivals Scout ESPN
Paul Jones QB **** ***** NR
Mike Hull LB **** **** NR

Jones picks up a 5th star from Scout. This is… surprising based on what I’ve heard about him.

#5 Minnesota – 3 commits
Name Pos Rivals Scout ESPN
Jimmy Gjere OL **** **** NR
Konrad Zagzebski LB NR *** NR
Antoine Lewis WR NR NR NR

Scout drops a 3-star ranking on LB Konrad Zagzebski.

#6 Michigan State – 1 commit

Bullough gets 4 stars from Scout.

#7 Illinois – 1 commit

Rivals and Scout disagree on Cooper’s position (Scout says he’s a WR). Without further research, I’ll continue trusting what Rivals says.

#8 Iowa – 1 commit

Still no ranking for Morris.

Big Ten 2010 Recruiting Class Rankings 3-22-09
Posted by Tim on March 22, 2009

Lots of stuff has happened since the previous edition of the recruiting class rankings, so here’s round 2. From now forward, I expect to publish these on a weekly basis. Rivals has released their initial Rivals250, and I believe the Scout 300 either has or will soon be released.

3-8-09 Minnesota gains commitment from Lamonte Edwards.
3-14-09 Michigan gains commitment from DJ Williamson. Michigan gains commitment from Antonio Kinard.

#1 Ohio State – 4 commits
Name Pos Rivals Scout ESPN
Andrew Norwell OL **** ***** NR
Jamel Turner DE **** ***** NR
JT Moore DE **** NR NR
David Durham LB NR NR NR

No more commits for OSU. Rivals isn’t quite as high on Norwell or Turner as Scout, and neither site has evaluated Durham yet.

#2 Notre Dame – 3 commits
Name Pos Rivals Scout ESPN
Chris Martin DE ***** ***** NR
Christian Lombard OL NR ***** NR
Daniel Smith WR NR **** NR

Martin is the highest-ranked guy in the class. Surprisingly, Lombard isn’t in the Rivals 250.

#3 Michigan – 3 commits
Name Pos Rivals Scout ESPN
Ricardo Miller WR **** **** NR
Jerald Robinson WR **** NR NR
Jeremy Jackson WR NR NR NR
DJ Williamson WR NR NR NR
Antonio Kinard LB NR NR NR

Still not a ton of ranked guys for Michigan, though Miller is expected to end up close to a 5-star. Michigan also has an unofficial commitment from QB Devin Gardner, a 4-star to both sites. The Wolverines obviously have a lot of potential to pass the Irish, depending on where their current commits are evaluated.

#4 Penn State – 2 commits
Name Pos Rivals Scout ESPN
Mike Hull LB **** **** NR
Paul Jones QB **** **** NR

No change for PSU. Consensus on the rankings of their two commits.

#5 Minnesota – 3 commits
Name Pos Rivals Scout ESPN
Jimmy Gjere OL **** NR NR
Antoine Lewis CB NR NR NR
Konrad Zagzebski LB NR NR NR
Lamonte Edwards Ath NR NR NR

Edwards could be a wideout or a linebacker (maybe even a big safety) at the next level.

#6 Michigan State – 1 commit
Name Pos. Rivals Scout ESPN
Max Bullough LB **** NR NR

As expected, Bullough is in the 4-star range.

#7 Illinois – 1 commit
Name Pos. Rivals Scout ESPN
Corey Cooper CB NR NR NR

A single in-state commit.

#8 Iowa – 1 commit
Name Pos. Rivals Scout ESPN
James Morris LB NR NR NR

I estimate that He’ll be lower-rated than Illinois’s lone commit, but that’s just a wild-ass guess from me.

Indiana, Northwestern, Purdue, Wisconsin – 0 commits.

Inaugural 2010 Big Ten Recruiting Class Rankings
Posted by Tim on March 8, 2009

With most Big Ten teams already sporting at least one commit, it’s time to break out the recruiting class rankings once more. This year, I’ve expanded to include multiple sites’ opinions of each player, though they are listed in order from most to least credible. As Rivals and ESPN release their initial rankings, I’ll update.

For a couple reason (junior days at multiple schools, and the fact that it’s Selection Sunday), no recruiting rankings next Sunday. If there’s reason to, I may publish some later next week instead. The charts should also look prettier in coming weeks.

Ohio State – 4 commits
Name Pos Rivals Scout ESPN
Andrew Norwell OL NR ***** NR
JT Moore DE NR **** NR
Jamel Turner DE NR **** NR
David Durham LB NR NR NR

Lots of highly-ranked guys, al in-state for the Buckeyes. Turner is expected to have 5-star potential.

Notre Dame – 3 commits
Name Pos Rivals Scout ESPN
Christian Lombard OL NR ***** NR
Chris Martin DE NR ***** NR
Daniel Smith WR NR **** NR

Strong start to the class. It will be interesting to see where it ends up if the Irish have another weak season.

Michigan – 3 commits
Name Pos Rivals Scout ESPN
Ricardo Miller WR NR **** NR
Jerald Robinson WR NR NR NR
Jeremy Jackson WR NR NR NR

All these guys are expected to end up in the four-star range.

Penn State – 2 commits
Name Pos Rivals Scout ESPN
Mike Hull LB NR **** NR
Paul Jones QB NR **** NR

A couple good in-state commits for the Nittany Lions.

Minnesota – 3 commits
Name Pos Rivals Scout ESPN
Jimmy Gjere OL NR NR NR
Antoine Lewis CB NR NR NR
Konrad Zagzebski LB NR NR NR

Unlike past years, when Wisconsin would raid the top Minnesota talent, the Gophers are starting to cross the border the other way.

Michigan State – 1 commit
Name Pos. Rivals Scout ESPN
Max Bullough LB NR NR NR

Bullough is expected to end up as a 4-star.

Illinois – 1 commit
Name Pos. Rivals Scout ESPN
Corey Cooper CB NR NR NR

A single in-state commit.

Iowa – 1 commit
Name Pos. Rivals Scout ESPN
James Morris LB NR NR NR

I estimate that He’ll be lower-rated than Illinois’s lone commit, but that’s just a wild-ass guess from me.

Indiana, Northwestern, Purdue, Wisconsin – 0 commits.
