B1G TELECONFERENCE:

Lovie Smith (Illinois)
  • Smith did not make an appearance on the teleconference. Illinois is set to play Minnesota on the road this weekend.

Apparently Lovie didn't want to have to answer the obvious question: When you get beat (at home) by the team that was the worst team in the conference (i.e. Rutgers) by 2 scores, what does that now make your team?

So, how's the Lovie/Illini recruiting juggernaut going? Weeeeelllllllllll...the national rank of their commits, per 247:

205
435
821
896
926
928
988

and EIGHT unranked commits. They're currently ranked 63rd nationally (behind Western *ichigan, Kansas, Texas Tech, Wake Forest) and dead last in the B1G (behind, well, everyone). There's always next year?

Just a quick update on the Illini recruiting train...

- Finished with the 55th ranked class nationally, 12th in the B1G
- Of their 24 commits, 16 were ranked outside the 247 composite top 1000
-
National rank of their commits that didn't get the "NA" tag: 167, 216, 343, 453, 873, 936, 975, 977

Moving on to 2019:

Not a single commit.

It'll get better. Just wait, you'll see.
