[QUOTE="B-ILL, post: 1568968, member: 747160"] Okay, so I decided to compare these numbers further, putting into perspective the top Big Ten and bottom Big Ten classes each year to give some context. Illinois was obviously near the bottom of the Big Ten every year from 2010-2017 (although never technically the worst class). And it's interesting to visualize that even Bret Bielema's best classes at Wisconsin and Arkansas aren't near the top. For example, his 2016 class at Arkansas was #23 in the country and #9 in the SEC (would have been #6 in the Big Ten). Conclusion: Bielema's teams have never blown anyone away in recruiting prowess, but almost anything would be an improvement for Illinois. Very interested to see how Bielema shapes this roster short-term/long-term and who he hires to spearhead recruiting. [ATTACH type="full" width="641px"]6871[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
