Recently we looked at recruiting classes throughout the Big Ten, keep in mind the conference has expanded to 14 teams.\u00a0 So this was not a small amount of research and we totaled 305 recruits across the 14 teams<\/strong>.\u00a0 Specifically we looked at multi-sport participation and track participation by recruits.<\/p>\n

KEY STATS:<\/span><\/p>\n

* Overall multi-sport participation for all 2014 Big Ten recruits was approx\u00a083%<\/strong><\/p>\n

* Overall track & field participation for all 2014 Big Ten recruits was approx\u00a059%
\n<\/strong>
\n* Overall basketball participation for all 2014 Big Ten recruits was\u00a0approx\u00a046%<\/strong><\/p>\n

Iowa led the Big Ten classes with 100% multi-sport participation, followed by Northwestern 94%, Minnesota 91% and Ohio State with\u00a091%.<\/p>\n

Minnesota led the Big Ten classes with 73% track & field participation, followed by Iowa 70%, Northwestern 67% and Ohio State with 65%.<\/p>\n

Michigan State, Minnesota, Illinois and Rutgers’ recruiting classes\u00a0had the highest average\u00a0PAI scores<\/a>
\nNote: PAI scores are TrackingFootball’s own height, weight, speed and power index scores.<\/p>\n

See chart below…<\/p>\n

\"BigBig Ten Recruiting Class Multi-Sport Chart<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

What’s the takeaway from this?<\/strong>
\nFairly simple…over 8 out of 10 Big Ten recruits participated in at least one other high school varsity sport.\u00a0 And a lot of recruits participated in high school track almost 6 out of 10.\u00a0 It pays to be a well-rounded athlete and competitor.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/em><\/em><\/p>\n
