A quick look at Big Ten recruiting classes:

Here's a quick look at Big Ten recruiting classes... with the Rivals and Scout rankings averaged out.

Team Scout Ranking Rivals Ranking Average
Ohio State 7 8 7.5
Michigan 8 9 8.5
Illinois 18 24 21.0
Minnesota 27 17 22.0
Wisconsin 26 41 33.5
Penn State 40 42 41.0
Iowa 41 53 47.0
Michigan State 57 47 52.0
Purdue 49 64 56.5
Northwestern 68 71 69.5
Indiana 64 77 70.5

some thoughts:

-Michigan has some talent, do they have a QB?
-The Big Ten is still Ohio State's to lose for the next few years it seems...
-Minnesota with a very good class, easily #3 or 4 in the Big Ten... but who will make it to campus?
-Another solid Illini class, as many have said
-No 4 or 5 star players for Iowa... their best recruit = the coaches son (Center)... yikes
-Indiana=Mediocrity...
-Tiller's final class isn't gonna leave his replacement with a lot
-A lot of average classes in the Big Ten...
