I took a look at the '25 BT recruiting classes as they appear to date, as rated by Rivals.
Then looked at recruits for each school that are ranked at 5.7 or over....the thought being that 5.6 is about the average rating for a recruit for the bottom 10 teams of the Big 18....
Giving 5 pts for a 5.7 recruit, 7 pts for 5.8 etc up to 13 pts for a 6.1 recruit....these are the results:
--OSU---18/19 recruits are rated 5.7 or above....1 5.7; 6 5.8; 5 5.9; 2 6.0; 4 6.1......163 points
--PSU---13/17 are 5.7 or above.....4 5.7; 6 5.8; 3 5.9....89 points
--USC---10/11....2 5.7; 5 5.8; 1 5.9; 1 6.0; 1 6.1....78 points
--WIS---13/21....8 5.7; 4 5.8; 1 5.9....77 points
--RUT---14/28...11 5.7; 3 5.8...76 points
--MICH--10/10...1 5.7; 7 5.8; 1 5.9; 1 6.0....74 points
--ORE....9/9....2 5.7; 2 5.8; 4 5.9; 1 6.0....71 points
--UCLA...7/11....3 5.7; 2 5.8; 2 5.9....47 points
--NEB---6/11...3 5.7; 3 5.8....36 points
--WASH--6/11...5 5.7; 1 5.8....32 points
--IND....4/14....3 5.7; 1 5.8...22 points
--ILL.....4/10....3 5.7; 1 5.8...22 points
--MN....3/22...1 5.7; 2 5.8...19 points
--IOWA..2/10...1 5.7; 1 5.8...12 points
--MD....2/11....1 5/7; 1 5.8...12 points
--MSU,,,2/10...2 5.7....10 points
--PUR....1/8...1 5.7...5 points
--.NW....1/17...1 5.7...5 points
Some comments---
--Rutgers with 28 commits will fall some but maybe only down to #7
--Smith at MSU has been less than impressive so far in the recruiting wars.
--USC, Michigan, PSU & Oregon look like they'll be 2-5, in whatever order.
--UCLA's class so far is fairly impressive
--Looks like Wisconsin recruiting has stepped up a notch under LF...but will the team have the same mojo?
--MD's class mediocre to date, as is Purdue's. Bad hire for Purdue?
--KF at Iowa running out the clock?
