Minnesota has a total of 18 decommits in the 2018-20 classes so far, which leads the BIG. Here are the other school totals:
Rutgers: 17
Michigan 15
Penn State:13
Ohio State: 12*
Nebby 11*
Maryland: 8*
Illinois: 7
Indiana: 6
Purdue: 6
Wisky: 5
Iowa: 4
Michigan St.: 4
Us: 2
* schools with coaching changes since 2017, which likely resulted in a higher figure than if the HC has remained the same.
Some observations:
1) The three longest-tenured coaches in the BIG have the three lowest numbers of decommits
2) Two schools with a reputation of signing a lot of players who attend OVs on the spot (Minny, Michigan) are in two of the top three slots (only interrupted by Rutgers, who I suspect has lost a lot of their recruits due to their abysmal record)
