Steele ranks every recruit for every team with a "power strength" number. I won't go into the details as they cover a whole page of single spaced script. He further breaks down recruits into "highly touted" and "very highly touted" categories. A "very highly touted" QB is a top-30 recruit. A "highly touted" QB is a top 100. For OL the score is 100 and 250 (because the talent pool is larger). Each position has a different score ranking.
The results for the MAC are interesting.
Team-------VHT-------HT
Central Michigan---1---8
Bowling Green---1---6
Northern Illinois---0---6
Miami Ohio---0---6
UMass---0---5
Toledo---0---5
Eastern Michigan---0---5
Western Michigan---0---4
Kent State---0---4
Ball State---0---2
Buffalo---0---2
Akron---0---0
UMass' five "highly touted" recruits are
DL Bernardo Nunez PS# 113
QB A.J. Doyle PS# 74
OL Michael Boland PS# 208
DB Stacey Bedell PS# 234
DB Trey Dudley-Giles PS#235
He also has an overall recruiting rating which is base on total number of recruits, total of PS#, etc.

Speaking of recruiting, Football Scoop has a video of a 13-day recruiting trip by a Bowling Green assistant coach. The Falcon's coach hits some of the same recruiting areas UMass has been recruiting.
