Big Ten 2009 Recruiting Class Rankings: 12-21-08

Action since last rankings:
12-14-08 Michigan gains commitment from Taylor Lewan. Minnesota gains commitment from Jeff Wills. Minnesota gains commitment from Kenny Watkins.
12-15-08 Northwestern gains commitment from Roderick Goodlow.
12-16-08 Penn State gains commitment from Kevin Newsome.
12-17-08 Illinois gains commitment from Aaron Gress. Purdue gains commitment from Al-Terek McBurse.
12-18-08 Indiana loses commitment from Jeremy Gainer. Michigan State gains commitment from Jeremy Gainer. Minnesota gains commitment from Bryant Allen. Purdue gains commitment from Antwon Higgs.
12-19-08 Michigan loses commitment from Shavodrick Beaver. Purdue gains commitment from Najee Tyler.
12-20-08 Illinois gains commitment from Tom Kynard. Minnesota gains commitment from Brent Singleton.

Huge week of action, at least partially because I got a little behind in moving to the new site. Regardless, there are some shakeups in the rankings as Penn State flies by Illinois, Minnesota passes Wisconsin, and Purdue is no longer in last(!). Indiana is heading in the wrong direction, as they’ve been absolutely hemorrhaging recruits lately.

  1. Trying to figure out why Notre Dame is included in your Big 10 Recruiting listing? Thanks

  2. Tim says...

    When I first started doing the rankings, they didn’t include Notre Dame.
    Most commenters wanted the Irish included because they are a regional and prestige-level fit for the Big Ten, and they compete for a lot of the same recruits, particularly against OSU and Michigan, along with anyone who recruits the Chicago area.
