[QUOTE="ILL_INI, post: 1455488, member: 4851"] [ATTACH=full]4288[/ATTACH] Indiana surprised me. They have quite a bit more depth than I expected with 19 players rated above Smith's median rated player. I have to give them the edge. I have the Illini at 0-10 in the league. [ATTACH=full]4289[/ATTACH] 247 has Maryland rated two spots ahead of Illinois. I just don't see it. Raise your hand if you think 247 developed their formula just to screw over Illinois. I'll take Illinois' class any day, so that puts Illinois at 1-10, and no worse than 13th in the league. [ATTACH=full]4290[/ATTACH] No surprise with Michigan State. A solid class, pretty comparable with Wisconsin's: top level talent which exceeds the Illini's with the depth to make it no contest. Illinois is now 1-11. [ATTACH=full]4291[/ATTACH] Last and least, fortunately, is Rutgers. Honestly, though, they recruited deeper than I expected, with 13 players above Smith's recruiting median. Illinois squeaked past Rutgers in the 247 rankings and I give the nod to Illinois as well. The Illini's top 5 players are rated higher than anyone on Rutgers. And while they do have a slightly deeper class, with better middle talent, the bottom third consists of pretty lowly rated recruits. I rank Illinois' 2019 football recruiting class as last in the Big Ten West, and 12th in the Big Ten. The recruiting is improving, and let's hope it continues, but especially with quality depth. We have few weeks until Spring practice begins. How would you rank the Illini recruiting class? Did I give too much emphasis on depth? Would you prefer the graphs display the data differently? Let's discuss. [/QUOTE]
