Ok, so Pryor is yet to decide and he could go to UM, OSU or PSU which if you believe the experts could change the balance of the Big Ten Races in 2009-2011. Oregon is in the mix and maybe LSU. Also Sam McGuffie who was a heralded UM recruit (see YouTube video below) at RB is nto signing yet, he might end up at Cal. This could be due to some other signees at UM.
The Rivals and Scout ratings for each team and links to the team announcements are on the
website.
Quick comments on each team
Buckeyes...as expected strong class, another Top Ten with a chance to really hit the jackpot if they land Pryor
Michigan...rose from 13 to a Top Ten finish with some last minute switches. However this is a team without a QB
Illinois..Zook continues to land talent including WRs and a QB, 3 good classes now means they should have the talent to contend for the next several years.
Minnesota..wow never thought they would land in the Top 25! Let's see if this class rallies a dead fan base
Michigan State..loaded up on defense which is what they needed, the rebuilding process is well on its way
Indiana..this was a team on the rise, between early grad of star WR and this low rated class..the finger seems to be pointing back down
Northwestern..never a strong class along scored some of the better Chicago area talent on OL and other areas
Purdue...this mediocre performance is related to so so play on the field plus Tiller stepping down at the end of next year.
Iowa..a few years back they were in the Top 10 or 25...no longer..Ferentz may wish he took an NFL gig
Wisconsin..big delta between Scout and Rival. Badgers usually match or beat their signing day ratings..they get a lot out of their talent in other words
Penn State...very average class. Signing Pryor would change the landscape a lot. I have to believe JoePa's age and lack of successor is impacting the 'Lions.
Anyone have stats of how well these teams did in the years 2003,2004,2005?
