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.

The Hawkeyes are looking to field a team composed entirely of linebackers. No word on how that would fare against Michigan’s team composed entirely of wideouts.

Zagzebski and Mason still the only Badgers holding it down.
