The college basketball early signing period begins this Wednesday so we figured it was a great time to take a look at the Big Ten recruiting landscape. The biggest commitment was obviously Mitch McGary’s pledge to Michigan but Purdue also picked up a nice commitment from A.J. Hammons.

The next big domino that’s expected to fall is Gary Harris, who plans to decide between Indiana, Michigan State and Purdue.

In terms of the actual rankings, Michigan vs. Indiana is a great debate. The Wolverines class has higher ratings overall – and the nation’s No. 2 player – but Indiana’s class is deeper from top to bottom. Let’s hear your two cents in the comments below.

You can find the full class breakdown and run down of recent commitments after the jump.
