Recruiting trivia question

Recruiting
1

Running some numbers to work on a post… Thought this could be fun.

-Rank the top five Big Ten schools in terms of top-50 recruits signed in the last 6 classes (2010-2015) and last 3 classes (2013-2015) and guess where each school ranks nationally on both lists.

Bonus: Guess how many top-50 recruits Kentucky has signed in the last 6 years.

As long as you include 12 and 13 we look pretty good. Outside of that we are pretty suspect in terms of rankings.

Is the fourth line in the last six classes supposed to be Maryland and someone else? Michigan perhaps?

Yep, fixed.

Hopefully these are all correct (blame my pivot tables) ...

Last Six Classes
OSU (7th nationally in that span), 10 top 50 kids
Indiana (14th), 7
MSU (16th), 6
Maryland/Maryland (T-17th), 5

Last Three Classes
OSU/Indiana (11th nationally in that span), 4 top 50 kids
Michigan/Maryland (T-14th), 3
MSU/Illinois (T22nd), 2

Kentucky has signed 25 top 50 kids in the last six classes.

Wisconsin signed 1 top 50 kid in the last six classes.

I assume you mean Maryland/Michigan (or Michigan/Maryland) in the last line of the last six classes?

Michigan looks pretty good, especially compared to the rest of the B1G. And it’s not including Wagner, of course.

Top 50 probably works in Michigan’s favor a bit. If you’d said top 25, Michigan would probably look worse compared to the top, especially in the past 3 years.

Well, with Swanigan gone… MSU drops one spot in each list.

8

I assume you mean RSCI top 50?

Last 6:
OSU
MSU
IU
MD
Mich

Last 3 (and I assume you mean '13-15):

OSU
IU
Ill
MD
Mich

OSU has to be at the top of that list we are talking guys like Russell, Thomas, Sullinger etc…

10

I’m using 247 Composite, but I assume it comes out similar.

Just guessing, not thinking too hard about it, last 6 classes:

  1. Ohio State
  2. Indiana
    (big gap)
  3. Michigan State
  4. Maryland
  5. Michigan

No clue about national rankings.
