So can anyone lay out this recruiting class so far. Who are our best gets thus far, etc? I've not been following to closely
Per 247 sports, it’s the 14th rated glass in the B1G.

Would you say it’s still half empty?
Are you implying I’m being pessimistic? I’m not. Just stating the facts. Hopefully we can add some more talent to the class by selling playing time etc. but the reality is, this is a key class for our rebuild, and it’s hard to be entirely optimistic. There’s some real talent there, but if we want to compete in the B1G we need comparable recruits. .
That being said, I’m excited about M.J. Rivers, coran Taylor, and the big boys from bishop dunne.
Can anyone really say the eighth rated class is so much better than 13 or 14?
MJ Rivers highlights from 11/16/17 game.
This guy is our best QB recruit since Scheelhaase.

It’s nice to have a higher rating but it seems after you get past the traditional powers at the top 3 or 4, the next ten schools have mostly three stars with a four or five added in. Can anyone really say the eighth rated class is so much better than 13 or 14?
I did think that Lovie's name recognition would open more doors, especially on defense. Also, I thought that the moms would trust Lovie with their sons. Maybe it is happening, and I just don't see it.I’m not sure what to make of this rebuild at this point. I still feel like Lovie was a good choice and think it can work. I am very surprised that recruiting hasn’t picked up more than it has though. At this point I am really hoping that this staff is hitting home runs in talent evaluation because if they are not this isn’t gonna happen for several more years. Really thought Lovie would be in on more high profile recruits.

I get what you're saying, but yes.......you always would rather be #8 than #14. Always.
#14 out of 14 is bad news. There is no conceivable way to sugar coat that.
Frankly, I thought the biggest upside Lovie would bring would be name recognition which would pay off in recruiting. But, that doesn't appear to be happening.
Yes, we can put our hopes that he'll "coach 'em up", but we start from a disadvantaged position when we have inferior talent all over the field.
In short, if we don't improve recruiting, we can forget about getting this program to where we want to be. My estimation, at least.
On the bright side, we can sell early playing time and a tradition of putting people in the NFL. Hopefully we can swing a few recruits our way before signing day
For those that follow closely. Who are our top realistic targets?

this guy we just offered I would think since we are his first power 5

Looks A LOT like mike Epps. to me
I wonder if this means that one of our RBs is going to transfer(Corbin)? I wasn't expecting Illinois to take 2 RBs in this class.
