College Football

Where every B1G team stands with its 2020 recruiting class with the Early Signing Period 6 months away

Recruiting is a yearlong process, so there really is never any rest time for college football coaches. And while the Early Signing Period is six months away from today (June 18), there’s a lot of movement that happens this time of year.

The Early Signing Period for the 2020 football recruiting class begins on December 18, meaning teams still have half a year to make sure they have all the right pieces in place. And while it’s far too early to tell what each class will look like six months from now, it’s good to get an idea of how each program is doing early in the cycle, before the season kicks off.

Here’s a look at where each B1G team stands with its 2020 class with (basically) six months left in the cycle. Don’t worry, there’s still plenty of time for things to change — possibly even today.
