RELATED: Urban Meyer calls a recruit a "bad player"
The annual spring games are upon us, with some teams — looking at you, Michigan — having already finished up their spring practices.
Spring games an important part of recruiting, as you can see unofficial visits, followed by commitments. So ahead of the majority of the Power 5 spring games, which teams currently have the lead in 2017 recruiting? Here are the Top 10 teams according to 247Sports.
1. Ohio State
2. Oklahoma
3. Miami
4. Clemson
5. Notre Dame
6. Alabama
7. Florida State
8. North Carolina
9. Michigan
10. Kentucky
The big riser is Oklahoma, who has moved up into the Top 3 since over the past month. The Sooners are up to 10 four-star commitments for the 2017 class, moving them just behind Ohio State. The Buckeyes will be hard to pass, though, as they have had a commanding lead since National Signing Day.
Alabama formerly occupied the No. 2 spot back on February 20, but they have since fallen down to No. 6. Just behind them is Florida State, which is odd as they were the No. 1 and No. 2 teams in 2016 recruiting rankings.
One of the big surprises here has to be Kentucky. The Wildcats have put together a solid recruiting class so far, with 11 commitments locked down already. They are mostly three-star recruits, but the fact that Kentucky has gotten off to this great of a start is a good thing for them.
The first two teams out of the Top 10 are Georgia and South Carolina. All Power 5 teams are present in the Top 10, save for the Pac-12, who doesn't see a team enter the recruiting rankings until UCLA at No. 15.
