Big Ten Football: Michigan Dominates ESPN Top 150 Recruit List

ESPN released its list of the top 150 recruits for the class of 2013, and surprise, surprise: Michigan, the team with 17 verbal commitments, is crushing the rest of the Big Ten in terms of getting guys on this list. How big is the disparity? Michigan has 11 commits on the list. The rest of the Big Ten combined has nine.

Here's a breakdown of commitments per school.

Michigan

37. QB Shane Morris
63. CB Gareon Conley
75. OLB Mike McCray II
92. OG David Dawson
97. OT Logan Tuley-Tillman
98. S Dymonte Thomas
105. OT Chris Fox
107. CB Jourdan Thomas
112. OG Kyle Bosch
115. DE Taco Charlton
121. OG Patrick Kugler 

Ohio State

12. CB Eli Woodard
21. CB Cam Burrows
55. WR/DB Jalin Marshall
127. TE Marcus Baugh
142. OT Evan Lisle 

Penn State

13. QB Christian Hackenberg
39. TE Adam Breneman
123. DT Greg Webb 

Northwestern

113. QB Matt Alviti

Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan State, Minnesota, Nebraska, Purdue, Wisconsin

LOL NOPE SORRY

The good news for the rest of the conference is that sheerly because of numbers, Michigan's amount of players on this list isn't going to rise much higher.

Ohio State, on the other hand, has plenty more scholarships to offer, and the Buckeyes are aiming high. They're bringing three uncommitted members of this list (Mackensie Alexander, James Quick, Alex Anzalone) to the Spring Game on Saturday, and they've got offers out to dozens of uncommitted players on this list.

Likewise, I don't expect eight Big Ten teams to be shut off this list completely by the end of the year, since it is still April and all, and Nebraska's especially going to make its presence known on the recruiting trail when the time comes.

But still, right now? Michigan is absolutely crushing the world. Even if they get commits from nobody else on the top 150 (implausible, but hear me out), as long as they get everyone onto campus, that's an incredible haul for the year. Brady Hoke can recruit, y'all.
