State of the Union: Big Ten Recruiting Update 3.13.13

Oh, Indiana...

Just more proof that the more things change, the more they stay the same: Indiana is once again the only Big Ten school (current and future) without a 2014 commit.

Never change, Hoosiers. Never change (because some of our readers have shirts that may become obsolete).

Not much changed in the past week, though there was some reorganization in the rankings due to updates from the 247 and Scout teams (Rivals still doesn't have their overall class rankings done yet, and ESPN still doesn't have their player rankings).
