Current 2021 BIG recruiting standings. I ranked them by per player average and not overall ranking. Still a bit early in the process and felt this was more fair. Courtesy of 247 sports.

1. Ohio State 95.34 (15 commits)
2. Michigan 90.92 (7)
3. Nebraska 89.63 (4)
4. Penn State 89.59 (7)
5. Wisconsin 88.23 (10)
6. Iowa 87.71 (9)
7. Minnesota 87.28 (7)
8. Rutgers 85.65 (10)
9. Maryland 85.16 (10)
10. Northwestern 85.09 (4)
11. Purdue 84.40 (5)
12. Michigan State 84.03 (3)
13. Illinois 83.66 (1)
14. Indiana 83.51 (5)

Some schools of personal interest, where they recruited (states).

Ohio State- Ohio (7 recruits), Pennsylvania (2), and 1 recruit from each state of Virginia, Texas, Tennessee, North Carolina, Missouri and Colorado.

Penn State- Michigan (3), Maryland (2), and 1 from both Ohio and Pennsylvania. Interesting that all current recruits reside in the BIG footprint.

Michigan- Michigan (2), Massachusetts (2), and 1 from the states of Illinois, Florida and New Jersey.

out of conference...

Clemson is interesting with recruits from Georgia (3), California (2), Florida (2), and 1 from the states of Pennsylvania, Maryland and Tennessee. Are the recruits in South Carolina that crappy?

North Carolina- hell of a class so far with 12 commits. 11 of the 12 are from the state of North Carolina. Now that's keeping your own at home!

Like I said, it's early and these are all considered "hard commits".

Georgia Bulldogs- I believe the state of Georgia is where the absolute BEST players are currently coming from. UGA has 7 of the top 10 players currently committed from their home state, well done!

Ohio State adds ☆☆☆☆ defensive end Tunmise Adeleye out of Florida.

North Carolina adds ☆☆☆☆ Linebacker Raneiria Dillworth out of North Carolina. Look out ACC, UNC may be taking over the conference in a few years.

P.J. Fleck rows his boat down to Nebraska and steals ☆☆☆☆ Cornerback Avante Dickerson from Frost & Company.

USC picks up ☆☆☆☆ athlete Calen Bullock out of Pasadena. I was hoping Nebraska could find a way to steal him late. USC has a very nice class going so far.

☆☆☆☆ Defensive End Elijah Jeudy from Pennsylvania commits to Georgia. Penn State, what happened here?

It's my limited understanding that he wants to be a pass rushing OLB in a 3-4, not a DE in a 4-3.

That would make sense.

☆☆☆☆ Jantzen Dunn from Kentucky picks Ohio State over Oklahoma.

BOOM!!!

Minnesota gets a commitment from ☆☆☆☆ athlete Sam Jackson out of Illinois. Very nice looking class so far.

Kentucky land highly rated ☆☆☆ Wide Reciever, Chauncey Magwood, out of Georgia. A lot of "big name" schools were after him including a few Big 10 schools.

Iowa lands highly ranked ☆☆☆ Offensive Tackle, Beau Stephens out of Missouri. They'll make him into a ☆☆☆☆☆ by the time he leaves there, that's what they do. Huge get for the Hawkeyes!

By the way, I'm doing this because it's the only sports competition currently happening.

It will be interesting over the next year to see how many of these players stay committed to the schools they've currently picked.

Best of luck to all your favorite players in the draft!

Big time, LSU! Recieving a commitment from Texas ☆☆☆☆ Wide receiver, JoJo Earle. I think he was on every schools list.

Wow! Tennessee gets a commitment from ☆☆☆☆☆ Defensive End Dylan Brooks out of Alabama. This kid is top 20 talent in the entire country.
