Compare to the previous edition of the recruiting class rankings. The Scout 300 has been released, so a bunch of prospects achieved or changed ratings.
3-26-09 Michigan gains commitment from Tony Drake.
| #1 Ohio State – 4 commits | ||||
| Name | Pos | Rivals | Scout | ESPN |
| Andrew Norwell | OL | **** | ***** | NR |
| Jamel Turner | DE | **** | ***** | NR |
| JT Moore | DE | **** | NR | NR |
| David Durham | LB | NR | NR | NR |
No change in the Scout rankings for OSU’s commits..
| #2 Notre Dame – 3 commits | ||||
| Name | Pos | Rivals | Scout | ESPN |
| Chris Martin | DE | ***** | ***** | NR |
| Christian Lombard | OL | NR | **** | NR |
| Daniel Smith | WR | NR | **** | NR |
Lombard knocked down to a 4-star by Scout.
| #3 Michigan – 6 commits | ||||
| Name | Pos | Rivals | Scout | ESPN |
| Ricardo Miller | WR | **** | **** | NR |
| Jerald Robinson | WR | **** | **** | NR |
| Jeremy Jackson | WR | NR | NR | NR |
| DJ Williamson | WR | NR | NR | NR |
| Antonio Kinard | LB | NR | NR | NR |
| Tony Drake | RB | NR | NR | NR |
Robinson picks up a 4-star ranking from Scout. Surprising that none of Michigan’s other commits have been evaluated yet (mostly Jackson, who was considered to be a very likely 4-star, what with very early Florida and LSU offers). Commit-in-waiting Devin Gardner is a 4-star to both sites.
| #4 Penn State – 2 commits | ||||
| Name | Pos | Rivals | Scout | ESPN |
| Paul Jones | QB | **** | ***** | NR |
| Mike Hull | LB | **** | **** | NR |
Jones picks up a 5th star from Scout. This is… surprising based on what I’ve heard about him.
| #5 Minnesota – 3 commits | ||||
| Name | Pos | Rivals | Scout | ESPN |
| Jimmy Gjere | OL | **** | **** | NR |
| Konrad Zagzebski | LB | NR | *** | NR |
| Antoine Lewis | WR | NR | NR | NR |
| Lamonte Edwards | Ath | NR | NR | NR |
Scout drops a 3-star ranking on LB Konrad Zagzebski.
| #6 Michigan State – 1 commit | ||||
| Name | Pos. | Rivals | Scout | ESPN |
| Max Bullough | LB | **** | **** | NR |
Bullough gets 4 stars from Scout.
| #7 Illinois – 1 commit | ||||
| Name | Pos. | Rivals | Scout | ESPN |
| Corey Cooper | CB | NR | **** | NR |
Rivals and Scout disagree on Cooper’s position (Scout says he’s a WR). Without further research, I’ll continue trusting what Rivals says.
| #8 Iowa – 1 commit | ||||
| Name | Pos. | Rivals | Scout | ESPN |
| James Morris | LB | NR | NR | NR |
Still no ranking for Morris.
Indiana, Northwestern, Purdue, Wisconsin – 0 commits.

Why is Gardner not listed in the commits part……confused did I miss something that is keeping him from this update?
disregard…read the whole post…sorry
*Not a recruiting expert
Wow! It’s a little sobering that we have 6 recruits and ND only has 3; yet, ND is listed as having a better class than us. Can you address this, please?
The main reason is that ND has highly-ranked commits (Martin is a consensus top-10 guy), while most of Michigan’s are still unranked. Even if the remaining Michigan commits end up as 3-stars, it’s unlikely that ND stays out front.
