Well don't be shy how would you rank them?
Definitely behind Ohio State, but from there it gets tough.

Rondale Moore didn't have the STARZ that some others had, but I think he's proven that he has overplayed his ranking. David Bell is a hell of a receiver, but I think he's probably played TO his ranking. There are a couple of really good pieces around them (Milton Wright, Amad Anderson) and they have Maliq Carr coming in, who may be a day 1 contributor even with all that other talent with his size. 

I don't really follow other teams as closely. I think Purdue is probably at least top 4 in the conference. Maybe if you put the whole class together they're 2nd, but I think it's hard for any team to look at OSUs WR corps and act like they're better than that crew. They return stud receivers and their incoming are world-class according to the recruiting rankings.

I’d still put Purdue #1. 

OSU is a solid #2 with a chance to leapfrog, but based purely on last year and what’s coming back, Purdue has to be #1. 

Chris Olave is a bonafide stud. Garrett Wilson had a great frosh season and was a FIVE STARZ who will make a huge leap in year 2. Really for OSU it’s about the freshman coming in. They have two 5 STATZ and one of those guys is Julian Fleming- maybe the top WR prospect in several years. If Fleming lives up to that, Ohio State might pull ahead to #1. But right now, all things considered, Purdue is #1. Fleming might be a stud day one or he might bust. He’s gotta prove himself first. 

Michigan is being slept on a bit. But I get it. The Passing offense/scheme sucks compared to OSU or Purdue and no one knows who will even be the QB. But M has got some good receivers now.

You nailed Iowa's summary and ranking. I love this group but wouldn't rank them any higher, would consider them behind Nebraska if we knew more about Speilman.

The sad part? This is easily Iowa's best WR group since DJK and McNutt, and maybe the best ever under Ferentz. And they're still middle-of-the-pack in the conference. That position has been abysmal.

Yeah that’s huge news. Big loss for NEB. He’s a damn good receiver. They lost Tyjon Lindsey last year too right? 

Whats going on in Nebraska? Is Scott Frost running his best guys off ?

If he ends up at Minnie, that's a great WR corps.

Penn State could use the guy, but it sounds like he was homesick.  Minnesota bound, I would guess.

Or he waits for the draft.

He needs 2 waivers, as he's not graduated (and already used his RS) and he dropped out of school (therefore academically ineligible). It's a tall order.

I've heard some of the same rumors as others

JD had some issues with the previous WR coach or simply just had issues with practice  

I'd guess if JD had issues with anyone on the staff or how practices were handled, Frost had an issue with JD.

Frost has a "your with us or against us" philosophy.  Doesn't tolerate much.

good luck to JD, helluva talent.  Hope he finds a place where he is comfortable and succeeds  

just hope it's not with the Gophers

Sometimes coaching philosophies that work great at one level or one location don't work so well at others.  Dan Hawkins, Steve Kragthorpe, Rich Rodriguez, and Charlie Strong come right to mind.
