Recruiting is an endless cycle. For college football coaches, there really is no break from the most important aspect of the sport.
We’re still seven months away from the Early Signing Period, but most programs have offered over 100 potential recruits. Some schools have thrown out several hundred offers, hoping to tilt the odds of bringing in big-time talent in their favor.
This week, Blair Sanderson of Rivals.com revealed how many recruits every Power Five team has offered in the 2020 recruiting cycle. Nebraska sits at the top of the list, having made 409 offers this recruiting cycle.
Five other B1G programs — Michigan, Rutgers, Purdue, Indiana and Penn State — all rank in the top 20. Here’s the full list of the number of offers all 14 B1G teams have made in the 2020 cycle, along with their national ranking:
