Wonder what season is needed for Bama for us to reasonably flip Mack. 8-4?

I don’t see him flipping unless they fire DeBoer
I would think it’s more closely correlated to our record. For instance, if we make the CFP. I’m sure if we make CFP we will have a pretty solid boost in late recruiting for 2026 grads.

Not in a hurry for any of these guys
Was announced in the local paper he's graduating in December and heading down to Alabama for 2nd semester. So we better change his mind quick.

I never imagined a world where Illini Football would dunk on Alabama.

One of our players is on here, but nobody from Bama or UGA or LSU or Texas. Can this end the rankings conspiracy theories? (Probably not)

is it a conspiracy theory if it's true?

Hankins is hardly the only one of our guys who significantly under-ranked
also, the main point of this list is a promo for Rivals. I'm amused that they're saluting their biggest misses

Is it true it there really isn't any evidence to back it up?

twas a joke...mostly
Maybe it's misses?
Or they are young men going through puberty at different rates?
That alone can cause massive leaps for some and others ranked high early on, may have already peaked more than projected.
I don't mean to bring this up as an argument.
I find the intricacies behind what makes someone good vice great rather intriguing.
