National Signing Week

Yesterday marked the beginning of basketball’s signing week. Without being a basketball recruiting guru, it appears as if the Big Ten was well represented when it came to five and four-star prospects. Below is a list of all the talents to sign with their respective Big Ten schools so far. For the most part, the conference has signed most of their talents, but early signing goes until November 18. Indiana and Minnesota both have a chance at a pair of five-star prospects, while Michigan State is also in the hunt for another top prospect.

Star rating according to Scout.com. 1-Star ratings typically means Scout has not seen the individual play.
