After throwing the numbers into my database here is what spits out:
Rickie Collins remains the star of the class obviously, the 8th-highest-rated Purdue commit ever and with the potential to climb higher. Carter might have flown under the radar a bit with all the other commits happening at around the same time, he's ranks decently high on Purdue's all-time ratings. And yeah, everyone else is a pretty solidly rated recruit for Purdue. Not too much of a surprise since teams are now leaving room for transfers so you're only taking theoretically the top half of your previous classes going forward.
This class is tracking very similarly to Brohm's past classes, with 2021 being an outlier.
And here are the rankings so far. This early the rankings are mostly dictated by how many players a school has committed. Northwestern has the top spot, but they have basically a full class already (and when the school won't take many transfers they're basically forced to keep their high school recruiting strategy). But Northwestern's average rating per player isn't much different from the rest of the West. Michigan State is another non-blue blood that is also doing really well.
Purdue ranks 8th or 9th in all the metrics, which is about where we should be fine with being. It's about where I expect us to finish, depending on how many high schoolers we take and everyone else takes. As of right now Purdue is recruiting above the rest of the Big Ten at QB and DL, with Rickie Collins being the Big Ten's top QB by a large margin (although OSU and Michigan have yet to get QBs).
