A look at where all 14 B1G teams rank with the 2022 recruiting class in early April
Published:
Spring practice is in full force, the NCAA’s ban on official visits is close to being lifted and recruiting season is quickly approaching. It’s always a fun time of year for the recruiting junkies.
While there’s still a lot of time between now and the Early Signing Period, it’s always fun and interesting to see which schools take care of business early and which wait until the summer months to start building their classes. There’s certainly some major differences in the B1G.
As we walk in to the first full week of April, we’re taking a look at where all 14 B1G teams stand in the recruiting rankings in the conference and nationally. Some teams have already hit double digits in verbal pledges while others only have one commitment at this time.
But everyone in the B1G has at least one recruit committed to the 2022 class.
Here’s a look at how things stand in the B1G, according to 247Sports’ Composite Rankings:
