Big Ten class of 2013 team rankings

Commitments: 21 total, six in the top 100

Top pledge: Shane Morris (16th overall)

Commitments: 12, five in the top 100

Top pledge: Jalin Marshall (35th)
A smaller class than their rival to the north, the Buckeyes nevertheless have some great athletes coming in for 2013, including defensive back Cameron Burrows. Quarterback J.T. Barrett is also a great fit for Urban Meyer's offense.

Commitments: 11, two in the top 100

Top pledge: Adam Breneman (18th)

Tight end Breneman is a perfect fit for what Bill O'Brien is looking to do offensively and should be a big target for quarterback Christian Hackenberg. There are a few under the radar guys, but overall this is a great class considering what has gone on around Happy Valley.

Commitments: 11, one in the top 100

Top pledge: Courtney Love (96th)
Love is a nice pickup for the Blackshirts out of an area the coaching staff is familiar (Ohio). Linebacker Josh Banderas is versatile enough to play at defensive end and Tre'vell Dixon adds some much needed speed to the class.

Commitments: 10, one in the top 100

Top pledge: Aaron Bailey (72nd)
New coach Tim Beckman has done a good job making inroads with some of the in-state guys, landing Bailey among others. Not a ton of skill guys among the 10 commitments.

Commitments: 9

Top pledge: David Kenney
There are no 'wow' players, but that's the philosophy that the Hawkeyes have used for years, and it's served them well. Heavy on defense so far, Kenney is a nice addition to go along with underrated DBs Delano Hill and Malik Rucker.

Commitments: 6
Top pledge: Jon Reschke
This is a promising start to 2013 with the linebackers, Reschke and Shane Jones, being a pair to build around on defense. Damion Terry is a big quarterback who should fit right in as a Spartan signal-caller.

Commitments: 8

Top pledge: Chikwe Obasih
It's not at all surprising that most of the Badgers who have committed so far play with their hand in the ground. T.J. Watt and Hayden Biegel are not as highly regarded as others in the class but do have the best genes.

Commitments: 7

Top pledge: Matt Alviti
A perfect fit at quarterback, Alviti will likely be the headliner on Signing Day just as he is in June. Center Brad North is a good interior presence.

Commitments: 2

Top pledge: Danny Etling
A small class, Etling is an Elite 11 quarterback commitment for the Boilermakers.

Commitments: 2

Top pledge: Alex Mayes
Lots of work left to do, but Mayes has some upside along the offensive line.

Commitments: 1

Top pledge: Isaac Griffith
The Hoosiers only recently got on the recruiting board, but Griffith is a nice in-state pledge who should fit in well with the offense.
