Wednesday (February 1st) is National Signing Day for College Football. The four primary recruiting services are Scout.com, Rivals.com, ESPN.com, and 247sports.com.

For the Terps, here are links to each site with their respective rankings:

Scout.com: http://maryland.scout.com/a.z?s=174&p=9&c=8&yr=2012

Rivals.com: http://rivals.yahoo.com/footballrecruiting/football/recruiting/commitments/2012/maryland-5;_ylt=AkEe2AEGk_3vxl2A84vrL.1JPZB4

ESPN.com: http://espn.go.com/college-sports/football/recruiting/school/_/id/120/class/2012

247sports.com: http://maryland.247sports.com/Recruit/Commits

The services rank players on a scale of 1 to 5 stars. While there is value from looking at each of the individual rankings from the different services, I prefer to look at the recruits by averaging the combined results as a whole.
