[QUOTE="GameOfThrows, post: 1186712, member: 566478"] Great point. I really like the potential of this class and the importance for the Illini program moving forward. IF, key word, "if", [B]if[/B] these players succeed at Illinois and we have some success on the field, student-athletes from these high school programs [B]may[/B] come here in the future This class also contains 3 TE, 2 ILB, 2 OLB, K, and a power RB which this roster desperately needs. Looks like we have 8 total linemen which is a minimum that each class should have for us to have success in the BIG so that is a positive. While this class isn't highly ranked, it is balanced and not much worse than our competitors in the BIG West. Nebraska has the most elite players, but after that there isn't much difference. All in all I am impressed with this coaching staff thus far. Looks like we might be playing Merrick Jackson in the future. ESPN has him going to Minnesota (not sure how credible ESPN is) Would have been nice to have him on our D Line. [/QUOTE]
