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?
5-8-09 Indiana gains commitment from Andre Kates.
| #1 Michigan – 10 commits | ||||
| Name | Pos | Rivals | Scout | ESPN |
| Ricardo Miller | WR | **** | **** | 150* |
| Devin Gardner | QB | **** | **** | 150* |
| Marvin Robinson | S | **** | **** | 150* |
| Jerald Robinson | WR | **** | **** | 77 |

| Antonio Kinard | LB | *** | *** | 77 |
| Tony Drake | RB | *** | NR | 77 |
| Drew Dileo | WR | *** | NR | 75 |
| DJ Williamson | WR | NR | NR | NR |
Nothing new for Michigan. I’m still surprised a guy with Williamson’s speed and size doesn’t get at least 3-star status. ESPN still lists Travis Williams as committed to Michigan because their recruiting coverage is incompetent.
| #2 Ohio State – 5 commits | ||||
| Name | Pos | Rivals | Scout | ESPN |
| Andrew Norwell | OL | **** | ***** | 150* |
| Jamel Turner | DE | **** | ***** | 150* |
| JT Moore | DE | **** | *** | 78 |
| Scott McVey | LB | *** | *** | 77 |
| David Durham | LB | *** | NR | 150* |
David Durham picks up a 3-star rating from Rivals.
| #3 Penn State – 5 commits | ||||
| Name | Pos | Rivals | Scout | ESPN |
| Paul Jones | QB | **** | ***** | 150* |
| Adrian Coxson | WR | **** | **** | 150* |
| Silas Redd | RB | **** | **** | 79 |
| Mike Hull | LB | **** | **** | 77 |
| Luke Graham | OL | NR | *** | NR |
Penn State passes Notre Dame, as their commit list is far more impressive overall at this time.
| #4 Notre Dame – 3 commits | ||||
| Name | Pos | Rivals | Scout | ESPN |
| Chris Martin | DE | ***** | ***** | 150* |
| Christian Lombard | OL | *** | **** | 150* |
| Daniel Smith | WR | *** | **** | 78 |
Notre Dame has been stagnating with these three commits for quite some time.
| #5 Minnesota – 4 commits | ||||
| Name | Pos | Rivals | Scout | ESPN |
| Jimmy Gjere | OL | **** | **** | 79 |
| Lamonte Edwards | Ath | **** | *** | 76 |
| Antoine Lewis | WR | *** | *** | 76 |
| Tom Parish | QB | *** | NR | 73 |
Antoine Lewis gets 3-star ranking from Rivals.
| #6 Illinois – 3 commits | ||||
| Name | Pos. | Rivals | Scout | ESPN |
| Corey Cooper | CB | **** | **** | 150* |
| Chandler Whitmer | QB | *** | *** | 150* |
| Shawn Afryl | OL | *** | *** | 69 |
Nothing new for the Illini.
| #7 Michigan State – 1 commit | ||||
| Name | Pos. | Rivals | Scout | ESPN |
| Max Bullough | LB | **** | **** | 150* |
| Tony Lippett | WR | NR | NR | 78 |
Lippett still unrated. ESPN ranks him higher than most of Michigan’s commits, which like, wow, you’re dumb.
| #8 Iowa – 3 commits | ||||
| Name | Pos. | Rivals | Scout | ESPN |
| Austin Gray | LB | *** | *** | 77 |
| James Morris | LB | *** | *** | 74 |
| Jim Poggi | LB | NR | NR | NR |
Gray and Morris each get 3-star ratings from Rivals.
| #9 Wisconsin – 2 commits | ||||
| Name | Pos. | Rivals | Scout | ESPN |
| Konrad Zagzebski | LB | *** | *** | 76 |
| Marquis Mason | WR | *** | NR | NR |
Zagzebski and Mason still the only Badgers holding it down.
| #10 Indiana – 1 commit | ||||
| Name | Pos. | Rivals | Scout | ESPN |
| Andre Kates | CB | NR | NR | NR |
Indiana grabs JuCo Andre Kates to get on board.
Northwestern, Purdue – 0 commits.

I wonder if Ricardo Miller or Marvin Robinson will ever pick up a 5th star? I dont place a ton of faith on whether a guy is a solid 4* or a 3 but it never seems to fail that sure 5 star recruits chose Michigan and miraculously never receive that 5th star.
