There was quite a lot of movement this week, with over half of the conference's classes adding commits.
Nebraska jumped Wisconsin for the third best class in the conference, and Penn State hopped over both Illinois and Northwestern, despite Illinois getting verbals from three new players. Lastly, Minnesota moved out of last place in the conference, pushing Purdue back into twelfth. It's okay, Purdue; soon you'll have Maryland to keep you company!

Who needs to go out of state when there's so much talent in-state, right, Urban? The Buckeyes added former Michigan commit Conley and Munger, who was the only non-PSU commit to hold an offer from the Nittany Lions this week, to their 2013 class.

Oh, haven't you heard? Penn State recruiting is dead. Just ask these guys. Or this one. In other words, the Nittany Lions' class is filling in nicely with the addition of four new commits this week.
