What do it mean, you say?

Probably not a lot. But, to categorize.

Tier 1 Michigan. Ohio State

Tier 2-2.5 . Nebraska

Tier 2.5 -3. Everybody else I listed. Pick 'em.


Should end up top 15 on Scout and 20 ish on Rivals, I'd wager. Should be solid 3rd in BIG.

Thanks for your time on this!

And according to 247's Composite rankings.

2. Michigan

5. Ohio State

27. Illinois

28. Nebraska

That's up 7 spots I believe from the last time I looked.

There are some teams on there I don't like seeing ahead of us.

• North Carolina
• Ole Miss
• Illinois
• Miss State
• Baylor
• Maryland

Oh well, it's still early and I understand that, plus they all are higher right now preseumably because they have more commits.

That dude at Michigan is stockpiling some significant talent. They will be a pain for years to come.

On the bright side, I think he wants to go pro style offense when DB is gone. I like out chances against those offenses, seems Bo usually eats those up.

You mean DR (Denard Robinson)?

Excellent point.

Good grief, yeah. If women get pregnancy brain then I have stay at home dad brain I think. I also meant "I like our chances."

The point was spot-on. That is all that counts.

Dang...I thought 14 recruits was a lot for this point in the game. A&M with 27 already. SHeesh

I don't understand why adults think it's a good idea to force kids to make decisions about things like this so early, but maybe that's just me.

Just the way it is now. Looks like the schools that have a ton of commits are from high population areas. I imagine it's a lot like NU with kids from NU...they don't see a need to drag it out if they already know they want to go there.

Penn St and Wisconsin have a higher star average than us right now. As does Okie St fyi. I'm guessing we finish ahead of Penn St and Wisconsin.

Really though it's Michigan Ohio St and everyone else. I don't think anyone stands head and shoulders above everyone else after Michigan and Ohio St. Minnesota clearly has the crappiest class.

Penn State and Wisconsin will both have smaller classes by far this year, so yeah...we'll finish ahead of them.

[BubbaGene]

If NU coaches can't out recruit PSU this year......oye...we got problems.

Serious question, we discuss the challenges that Nebraska faces in recruiting. What does Michigan and Ann Arbor have to offer that we can't? I know they have Detroit, but it doesn't seem like there is a ton of talent. I know they are "rebuilding" but is Brady telling every kid he will start?

Michigan has a lot of population/talent, as does Ohio. Proximity is everything. Plus, he's riding high on rep and last year's record, and Michigan is seen as a destination program.

Michigan has proximity to Ohio and in state talent. Closer to Illinois and PA too.

+1 Absolutely agree.
