And a full third of those top kids are going to Ohio State and Penn State. That’s less than half that are “blue chippers”. There are 115 players and of that number, only six are 5-stars and another 49 are 4-stars. Look at the top five classes in the Big Ten. To a large degree, that is what most of the teams in the B1G and in the country need to do: coach up the kids they get. What happens next is what makes Fitzgerald a good coach. He pulled in one 4-star and 17 3-stars in his 18 player class.

Pat Fitzgerald didn’t forget how to recruit. That’s a team that went 10-3 in 2017 and won its bowl game against Kentucky, the Franklin American Mortgage Music City Bowl.

Northwestern added two recruits from December to this week, and went from the 13th spot to the 14th spot among Big Ten teams. This year’s class - Ash’s third - ends up somewhat comparable.Īnd look at Northwestern. In 2004, Greg Schiano’s fourth recruiting class, Rutgers was 67 on Rivals, 49 on 247, and 45 on Scout for an average of 53.7. To the best of my knowledge, the world has not come to and end, despite Rutgers’ finish in the recruiting ranks. It moved them up two spots to 12 in the conference. The Illini added eight players in February and moved up from 64 to 50 on 247 Sports list. Illinois benefitted from signing players late. They dropped ten and seven spots nationally in 247’s and Rivals’ rankings respectively, and dropped one spot among Big Ten teams. Minnesota also did not add any players in February, holding at 26. It also fell from the ninth best recruiting class in the B1G to 13, just ahead of Northwestern. You can see our post on the December ranking here.īottom line is that Rutgers, which was a top 40/50 class at the time of the early signing period in December, ends up as a top 60 class when all is said and done. So, to a degree, where Rutgers scored early, other schools added more recruits in February and scored late. Other schools added significantly more, and those larger numbers do add to their ranking. There’s still the debriefing from this class, specifically where it ended up being ranked.įrom December, and the early signing period, to this week, Rutgers only signed one additional player.
