New Rankings:
| #1 Ohio State – 13 commits | ||
| DT | ***** | Johnny Simon |
| LB | ***** | Dorian Bell |
| RB | **** | Jordan Hall |
| CB | **** | CJ Barnett |
| WR | **** | James Jackson |
| MLB | **** | Storm Klein |
| MLB | **** | Jordan Whiting |
| DE | **** | Melvin Fellows |
| OG | **** | Corey Linsley |
| OT | **** | Jack Mewhort |
| S | **** | Jamie Wood |
| LB | **** | Zach Boren |
| WR | *** | Chris Fields |
| FB | *** | Adam Homan |
Buckeyes lose Darrell Givens, but gain a speedy wideout in James Jackson and remain on top.
| #2 Michigan – 7 commits | ||
| DT | ***** | William Campbell |
| QB | ***** | Kevin Newsome |
| CB | **** | Justin Turner |
| QB | **** | Shavodrick Beaver |
| RB | **** | Teric Jones |
| RB | *** | Fitzgerald Toussaint |
| S | * | Isaiah Bell |
Bell will likely end up a high 3-star. Michigan has gone cold for a little while.
| #3 Penn State – 8 commits | ||
| OT | ***** | Eric Shrive |
| CB | **** | Darrell Givens |
| S | *** | Derrick Thomas |
| S | *** | Stephen Obeng-Agyapong |
| S | *** | Malcolm Willis |
| OT | *** | Mark Arcidiacono |
| C | * | Ty Howle |
| OG | * | Frank Figueroa |
Big week for PSU. They snake Darrell Givens from OSU, and pick up two more secondary players, along with two more linemen. Shrive is one of the best OTs in the country. Arcidiacono is underrated, Howle will end up as a high-three star, Figueroa a low three-star.
| #4 Michigan State – 6 commits | ||
| RB | **** | Edwin Baker |
| RB | **** | Larry Caper |
| SLB | **** | Chris Norman |
| WR | *** | Donald Spencer |
| DT | *** | Blake Treadwell |
| QB | *** | Andrew Maxwell |
Every player committed to State thus far is from Michigan. They haven’t gotten any commitments in seemingly forever, and more schools are likely to pass them as time goes on.
| #5 Notre Dame – 4 commits | ||
| RB | ***** | Cierre Wood |
| RB | **** | Theo Riddick |
| DT | **** | Tyler Stockton |
| TE | *** | Jake Golic |
Wood is a very good prospect, but all are slightly overrated because of their school of choice (especially Golic).
| #6 Minnesota – 5 commits | ||
| QB | **** | Moses Alipate |
| RB | *** | Hasan Lipscomb |
| C | *** | Ed Olsen |
| OT | *** | Josh Campion |
| WR | * | Victor Keise |
Keise will probably end up a mid 3-star.
| #7 Illinois – 2 commits | ||
| DT | **** | Lendell Buckner |
| OT | **** | Leon Hill |
Illinois started fast, but has since stagnated (and lost Melvin Fellows to the Bucks).
| #8 Wisconsin – 3 commits | ||
| DT | **** | Jared Kohout |
| OG | *** | Ryan Groy |
| DE | *** | Shelby Harris |
Wisconsin has all linemen, all from America’s Dairyland.
| #9 Iowa – 2 commits | ||
| OT | **** | David Barrent |
| FB | * | Brad Rogers |
Their only commit comes from one of the least important positions on the field. Huzzah!
| #10 Northwestern – 2 commits | ||
| QB | *** | Evan Watkins |
| RB | * | Mike Trumpy |
At least they have some commits. Come on, state of Indiana.
T-11th – Indiana, Purdue (0 commits)

What’ up with Iowa? They were able to get quality players much more readily in times past.
I’m sure you’re already on top of this, but if not:
