The midseason NUC Midwest Rankings are out. The biggest change is going from a Top50 to a Top55 in the regional rankings. Each new addition is denoted by an asterisk. Two players fell out of the previous rankings and seven new players have been added.
Ten states are represented in the NUC Midwest region. Ohio leads the way with 20 players in the Top55. They are followed by Illinois (10), Indiana (7), Michigan (5), Missouri (5), Minnesota (3), Wisconsin (2), Iowa (1), Kansas (1), and Kentucky (1).
The NUC Midwest Top55 currently has 45 student athletes verbally committed to colleges. This means only 18% of the players have still not made a decision on where they will attend school. Currently Michigan has a huge regional lead with ten commitments. The Wolverines are followed by Notre Dame's five commitments and Wisconsin's four commitments
