The regular season is getting closer and closer, but that doesn't mean recruiting is taking a break. So far, there are nearly 200 high school wrestlers who have already verbally committed to Division I programs.

Before we know it, National Signing Day will be upon us, and we will find out where top-ranked recruits Daton Fix (OK), Brady Berge (MN), and Jacob Warner (IL) are going. But until then, let's take a look at which program is leading the race for the best recruiting class of 2017.

UPDATE: After further review, Brown breaks the top 10 and pushes Missouri to No. 11 in our early recruiting rankings.

Notes: Oklahoma State only has verbal commitments from Christian Bahl and Kaden Gfeller at the moment. Penn State only has one guy in Nick Lee who will be coming out of the class of 2017 at this point. Navy has a lot of guys coming in with Quentin Hovis, who is ranked third at 152, leading the charge. The Midshipmen also have FloNational champion Ian Timmins and Gus Solomon, who is very tough when he's healthy but has been plagued with injuries throughout his career.
