With the dust significantly settled on the 2021 recruiting cycle, I wanted to take a look and see how the East division made out with their individual recruiting hauls. This is meant to be more of a qualitative and topical assessment across the division, so I m not really comparing apples-to-apples. I did however organize the list of teams below in ascending order from highest regarded class to lowest according to 24/7 Sports. Definitely some tea leaves to be read in the results. One thing that remains certain. Ohio State will be very good.
