Updated Big Ten recruiting rankings with four teams from West Coast included, mid-August

We are one week from the start of the college football season, but the 2024 recruiting cycle continues to spin. We like to look at the 247Sports team composite for the recruiting classes of all the teams in the Big Ten, but we can now expand that.
