Who was the best recruiter nationally for the Class of 2017? How about within the Big Ten?
You won’t like the answer.
247Sports does a ranking for the recruiters who brought in those classes. They indicate the number of recruits by each recruiter’s name. That would tend to lead to the conclusion that the coach was at least somewhat involved with, if not the lead recruiter, with the athlete.
And who was number 1 in the country? Michigan’s Chris Partridge.

Based on the data from 247 Sports, it appears that Partridge was involved with almost half the 2017 class at Michigan.
