Signing Day breakdown 2013

There's good news and bad news buried in that list. The good news is, this class starts our path back to having a complete roster talented enough to compete in the Big Ten. The bad news is, it will be a while before these freshmen are solid contributors, and if only five of our sophomores, juniors, and seniors can crack that list, we're still a long way away from having that necessary roster.

But I'm patient. I'm an Illinois football fan. I've never been into the whole gift horse mouth-looking thing.

Lead us back, Aaron Bailey.
