[QUOTE="mhuml32, post: 1455798, member: 3621"] I find some of these counter-arguments peculiar. The OP is not talking about performance, this is simply a wealth of information on recruiting rankings. There are published studies showing a correlation between recruiting rankings and team performance. Therefore, it is important for Illinois to bring in the highest ranked recruiting class possible. This isn't about individual player performances of freshman and other under-rated players (and if it is, we also need to discuss the higher-ranked players at Illinois that haven't panned out, or discuss the strong performance of freshman players at NW and other institutions). Talking about individual players gets messy (individual player rankings are really messy, tough to compare, and caveats with player fit, system, coaching changes, etc.) and again, isn't the point made by the OP.
