Where every Big Ten recruiting class stands in 247Sports’ class of 2024 rankings
Mid-June is never the time to start tying a bow on the current recruiting cycle. Not only are there months remaining of high-profile commitments, but nobody is actually signed at the moment. Recruiting classes currently consist of verbal commitments. While not overly common, flips and decommitments happen.
If the cycle ended today Wisconsin would finish ranked inside 247Sports‘ top 15 classes and No. 5 in the Big Ten Conference. Luke Fickell’s first class as head coach is up to 15 commitments after landing running back Gideon Ituka, and three of those commitments coming from four-star prospects.
This piece is not making any broad takeaways about Wisconsin or anybody’s class of 2024. Instead, it’s a snapshot of progress. Here is where Wisconsin’s class lands among the rest of the Big Ten in 247Sports’ rankings:
