Huge week for the Bucks with tons of commits. Their remaining slots are probably reserved for specific guys they know they'll get (i.e. Marcus Hall).

Curtis Drake is being brought in as a QB unless the Nittany Lions get a top-notch signal caller in this class (in which case he will likely be a WR). Penn State has a quantity-over-quality class right now.

Brad Rogers
Ferentz's glory days in recruiting seem to be over. Barrent drops to 3 stars in Scout update.

#11 Purdue - 1 commit
S

Ismael Aristide
Not sure where Aristide will be ranked, but it has to be a more important commit than a long-snapper. He was on the verge of becoming a big prospect before a junior year injury.

#12 Indiana - 3 commits
DE

Josh Keyt
QB

Edward Wright-Baker

Nick Zachery.
Keyt is a long snapper/DE who will greyshirt, according to IUFootball (who deserves props: writing about Indiana football has to be among the most thankless jobs out there). Hoosiers grab Nick Zachery.
