OT - What's the rush in judging Illini's recruiting efforts?

Interesting read... topics batted around on here. Just sharing.

>>We haven’t seen any of these prospects in person. We wouldn’t know them if we bumped into them on the street. We don’t know their grades, their personalities, their families or their character.

But we’re all football recruiting experts. We absolutely know how to judge the UI’s incoming talent.

We have a system. We simply scan toward the last paragraph of an Illini commitment story and see who else made offers.<<

You could ask me what conference any team in the Big 5 is in and with 99.9% certainty I could answer correctly.

I was pretty sure Illinois was in the B1G but had to look it up to move the needle to 100%.

I'm guessing UConn, while not in the Big 5..yet, would have people in the Mid West and other parts of the country wondering what conference we are in.

I still don't know what conference we are in.

Kinda funny, UI cannot take certain kids who are eligible and welcome at OSU.
