What the list says
The Big Ten owns this list with 6 of the top 25. If you're recruiting against the conference, you're recruiting against the position's deepest pool.
The class makeup is balanced: 8 seniors, 1 freshmen, and the rest in between. No senior cliff to plan around, but no obvious "build around them for four years" young anchor either.
