Compare to the previous edition of the recruiting class rankings. For the second week in a row, there’s been plenty of action:

5-29-09 Wisconsin gains commitment from Bryce Gilbert.
5-31-09 Iowa gains commitment from Anthony Ferguson.
6-1-09 Michigan gains commitment from Christian Pace.
6-2-09 Penn State gains commitment from Miles Dieffenbach.
6-3-09 Penn State gains commitment from Tom Ricketts.
6-7-09 Notre Dame gains commitment from Bennett Jackson.

Mild disclaimer: I’m not going to be super-diligent about checking all 3 rating services, except in the case of new commits or if the “OMG SCOUT 400” is released. Not sure who’s more deserving of 3rd place: Ohio State or Notre Dame. Discuss.
