The long awaited Midwest regional rankings are finally done. Below is the new NUC MW Top60 in alphabetical order. Each member of the new Top60 is now worth one point towards team recruiting rankings. There are ten new names in the Midwest regional rankings each denoted by the "#" sign. The state of Ohio leads the way with 18 prospects in the latest version of the NUC MW Top60. Illinois is the next closest state with nine followed closely by Michigan and Missouri with seven prospects each. The NUC would also like to give a shout out to some of the Top NUC performers over the last two years that just missed being named to the latest regional rankings.
