Big Ten 2009 Recruiting Class Rankings 9-13-08

Action since last rankings:
9-8-08 Purdue gains commitment from Trevor Foy.
9-12-08 Michigan gains commitment from Anthony LaLota.

Michigan State and Notre Dame are virtually tied. So are Penn State and Wisconsin. Once a couple more commits drop to any of these schools, it will be a bit easier to differentiate them. I left Notre Dame ahead of State for now, because I think they are more likely to close out strong, unless there's another 2007 on the way for the Irish.
