We are now just days away from the July evaluation periods kicking off as coaches and players will hit the road, crisscrossing the nation for three weeks, beginning July 12. Before the madness begins, we give a quick snapshot on where each conference stands in the 2018 cycle, laying out the power rankings for the power leagues.

We encapsulated the work that the Big Ten league members had done in finishing out June earlier this week, but let’s not discount what it had done even before that. Michigan nailed down lead guard David DeJulius, Wisconsin made a splash with four-star scorer Tyler Herro, Iowa secured the commitment of polished wing Joey Wieskamp and Michigan State hit a home run with top-150 talents Foster Loyer and Thomas Kithier. Penn State and Rutgers each also enjoyed an early commitment and since then, Michigan, Michigan State and Northwestern have laid down their future with more than one addition. Last year, the SEC dominated recruiting headlines with its 2017 class; this time around, the Big Ten is doing a commendable job.

Seven of the 12 league members have already cashed in with a 2018 commitment, and Stanford, Arizona, California and USC each hold more than one top-150 pledge. Arizona has already locked up two top-50 prospects for next year, though the Trojans may be the biggest winner of the summer thus far, going on a recent spree with three top-100 commitments. They've replenished a cupboard of talent that currently has them in the top-10 of most national polls heading into the new college basketball season. Of the programs sitting without a commitment, one would expect UCLA to go on its own run in the coming months; their recent transition to the Under Armour brand could enable the Bruins to have success with a variety of different travel programs and its players. The Pac-12 might not finish with the best 2018 class as a whole, but it already possesses a ton of promise, allowing the conference to continue its upward trajectory.

Nothing new to see here: The ACC has enjoyed great success in the 2018 class, as 11 of its 16 league members have secured at least one commitment. Of those five without a verbal pledge, Virginia, Duke and Miami are sure to pick up at least one top-150 talent, especially the Blue Devils, a program that has battled Kentucky for recruiting supremacy in recent years. Louisville, North Carolina and Notre Dame each boast at least two top-150 pledges; the Irish sit with the best class, as they boast a perimeter core of Prentiss Hubb, Robby Carmody and Dane Goodwin, a former Ohio State commit. There are also a few building block commitments already in tow at Pitt and Syracuse along with potential breakouts headed to Wake Forest and Florida State. The ACC has remained arguably the best conference in America, and its members’ 2018 classes have only supported this claim further.

Six of the 10 league members hold a class of 2018 commitment. Villanova leads the way with two top-75 prospects in hand. Cole Swider’s verbal to Jay Wright’s program puts the Wildcats atop Big East totem pole yet again, and Swider should pair nicely alongside southpaw wing Brandon Slater. Providence has the chance to put together another quality class, and after landing elite shooter A.J. Reeves, the Friars could also add his travel teammate, David Duke. DePaul helps the league’s cause, too, thanks to the commitment and reclassification of Tyger Campbell, a four-star, playmaking point guard. The forgotten member of the 2018 class is Brendan Bailey, a top-100 small forward who committed to Marquette as a 2016 class member before taking a two-year mission; he is the son of former NBA great Thurl Bailey. Georgetown must have a good class this recruiting cycle, and Seton Hall, Xavier and Butler also remain without a 2018 commitment.

Things may not be as bleak in the SEC as they are within the Big 12, but it is pretty close. Moving past a 2017 recruiting cycle that saw Alabama, Auburn, Missouri, LSU, Kentucky, Mississippi State, Arkansas, Georgia and Texas A&M land at least one top-50 recruit, things have started off very slowly in 2018, and that may be an understatement. Arkansas hit the 2018 class early with four commitments before the calendar turned seven months ago. However, the Hogs took a punch to the stomach Wednesday when five-star big man Reggie Perry decommitted. Missouri, LSU and Auburn are the only other league members to hold class of 2018 commitments, though each is oi the five-star variety. Kentucky is due to sit again with a top-two recruiting class, as has been the case since John Calipari has taken over in Lexington, and Florida has gained solid footing with some of the top-100 prospects within their region. However, if the SEC wants to see its product improve, this year’s recruiting cycle is as vital as ever for the success of the conference.

Things are not looking too good thus far for the Big 12. While its league members got off to a very slow start last year, the 2018 class looks even bleaker. Just 25 percent of the league carries a class of 2018 commitment, and TCU is the only school that holds more than one. Thanks to its early pickup of Kendric Davis and a fall commitment from Angus McWilliam, a talented big man by way of New Zealand, the Horned Frogs are carrying the Big 12 baton. West Virginia and Baylor each boast a commitment, and it is not difficult to believe that Texas and Kansas will put together excellent classes; each has strongly positioned itself with some of the best in 2018. However, Iowa State and Oklahoma must make sure they place even more pieces around their five-star guard signees in 2017. Meanwhile, Texas Tech, Texas A&M and Oklahoma State have a little pressure to resupply the cupboard at their respective programs as well.
