Class is roughly halfway done assuming everyone sticks (which pretty much never happens).
At this point we're:
- #25 in Rivals ranking, 5th in B1G
- #19 at 247, 5th in the B1G
- #21 at Scout, 5th in the B1G
Good news is that we're ranked now, most of the schools ahead of us have more commits, and a few of our players are locks to move up on Rivals at least when they get re-ranked (Terry Wilson barely a 3-star?)
Better news is that the pessimists should quiet down a bit for a while. Should be less hand-wringing about recruiting than there was a month ago.
Bad news is that there's still a long way to go and some of or competition in the conference is really rolling too. Ohio State, Michigan, Michigan State and Penn State are all ranked in the top ten by all three services. We're 5th but it's a pretty distant fifth.
Coaches have to keep focus on recruiting and keep going if we're going to keep up in the resurgent Big Ten conference. I have dramatically more faith in this staff keeping the recruiting momentum going from here.
