Scout unveiled a new set of rankings, but I'm not going to bother updating the stars for now, since I'm planning to switch to Rivals' rankings son anyway.
Action since
last rankings:
7-25-08 Indiana gains commitment from **OT Colin Rodkey.
7-29-08 Iowa loses commitment from David Barrent. Michigan State gains commitment from David Barrent.Illinois gains commitment from Andrew Carter.
7-30-08 Illinios gains commitment from Jake Feldmeyer. Iowa gains commitment from Jordan Cotton.
8-1-08 Iowa gains commitment from Drew Calrk. Michigan gains commitment from Mike Jones.
New Rankings:

Dustin Kiel, Lawrence Barnett, Charles Chapman, Mitch Ewald, and Pat McShane commit. While the Hoosiers have a lot of commitments (which would rank them higher in many ranking systems) their abundance of 2-star guys really limits where this class can end up.

Aristide could end up a high three-star. He was on the verge of being a big prospect before a bad junior year injury. Bush will be a mid three-star. The Boilermakers pass Iowa.

Ferentz's glory days in recruiting seem to be over. Rogers will end up a low two-star.
