Big Ten Conference: 2017 Team Recruiting Rankings

No. 2 Michigan Wolverines

The Michigan Wolverines come in as the No. 2 recruiting class in the Big Ten.  This doesn’t come as a surprise but what does is how far back they are from Ohio State.

In the re-ranking of the recruiting standings, I give about 40-percent more value to the 5-star players than I do the 4-star players.

This is the main reason that Ohio State is so far ahead of the No.2 team Michigan.

Michigan is still in a respectable second place with an average of 0 5-star recruits and 9.33 4-star recruits.

The biggest commit that Jim Harbaugh and the Wolverines have received is from quarterback Dylan McCaffrey.

The quarterback situation is one that Michigan has really yet to figure out since Harbaugh took the reins a few years ago.

But, with the addition of McCaffrey, that should all change.  He is a consensus 4-star recruit who is from Littleton, Colorado.

Michigan is also adding some depth with an average of 6.6 3-star recruits as well.  These will be your trenches guys.

The Wolverines have the No. 2 recruiting class in my rankings and despite being pretty far behind Ohio State they are still bringing in a solid class.
