Our weekly recruiting updates will go biweekly for the duration of the season, as it looks to continue to be a dead period on the trail. Over the past two weeks, no Big Ten school gained any verbal commitments; two schools, however, did lose one verbal commitment.

Insert here my growing distaste with the overall 247 rankings, which continue to place more value on the size of the recruiting class than the quality of the recruits (44, 43, 71; which one of these rankings stands out to you?).
As usual, a more detailed breakdown of each class, including how many recruits for each school were ranked by each service, after the jump.
