Next year is make or break both on the field and on the recruiting trail. Again. Staff basically did the minimum this year to clear the bar and get extended. Bar goes up next year.
Get them a step stool.

Personally I don't like any of the Chicago newspapers, but the real question is, if they are reporting truthfully and accurately, would it read negatively?Is it me or does the Tribune have it out for u of I. Every time I check an artical on anything football related it always seems have a negative slant. Today our news from them was who got away, not who is coming. Am I a disappointed optimist dealing with reality or are they bad mouthing the orange and blue ?

It sure seems that way on the Loyalty home page. First day of the regular football signing period and its posts about basketball, basketball, basketball, basketball, basketball, basketball, basketball, basketball...It's OK guys, we're a basketball school again.

A white PWO that runs a 4.3 40? I don't believe it but I want too.Illini pick.up a commitment from Kansas WR Ty Lindenman. He allegedly runs the 40 in the 4.3 range. He's a PWO, but you can't argue with that kind of speed.
Also you have to take core curriculum classes in high school. And it’s a long school day. You can cater your classes in college to the time of day you want to attend said classes. And if want to take Introduction to Christmas Ornament Making, YOU MAY!Not true. The tutoring one gets at U of I can make all of the difference in the world. The distractions in one"s neighborhood will also, no longer be present. The fact that a young person may not have taken grades seriously until their junior year of high school can impact situations, too.

This is tough to see. While there are other ways to build teams these days via the portal and such, fundamentally most of the players are going to come from recruiting.
Maybe nothing, but visualization makes it more real...add that the 2020 ranking is the lowest in power 5 & it drives home the point that maybe we are still digging the hole while pretending we are digging out. Sort of like hiding behind average recruit rating vs. 247 composite?Why is it tough to see? What's new? Many here have repeatedly stated that Lovie stepped into a stuff-show. Digging out from that type of hole is a process.

Personally, with the small classes the last couple of years I don't think this is fatal, but that doesn't make it ok... we should be back to a full class next year & we need to improve a lot to make up some ground.
