    CBS Sports B1G Predictions

    Would a top 60 class be considered solid? (Especially given our struggles in the portal). Seems like that would put us in bottom 15% or so of P4 teams?

    CBS Sports B1G Predictions

    Illinois lost the best QB they’ve had in 20 years. And the QB they brought in to replace him left MSU after he lost his starting job to… our current QB. And they’re putting in an entirely new defense that nobody at P4 runs because it’s as gimmicky as the triple option is on offense. Good luck...

    Which all but 6 big ten teams managed to do last year. Of the 6 who didn’t, 1 was a new coach, 2 fired their coach, and 2 of them will absolutely be firing their coaches this season.

    With the portal and NIL, there’s no excuse for P4 schools to miss a bowl. The G5 just can’t compete anymore at scale.

    Clippers end up with a big ten duo, with Wagler from Illinois headed there as their #5 selection. Maybe they’ll be roommates 😂

    How are we feeling about NRF season ticket pricing?

    We have among the worst NIL funds in the conference. I highly, highly, highly doubt that they’ll be reducing required donations soon, if ever.

    Mart in the NBA

    He’ll get his cup of coffee in the NBA first. At this point as more and more guys have left the draft to go back to college, he’s definitely getting drafted in the second round. It won’t be a guaranteed deal and will be a paycut from what he got his last year of college. But he’ll get a year to...

    No extremely atypical. The draft has the lowest number of non-senior entries in 20+ years thanks to NIL making it very lucrative for kids who aren’t guaranteed first rounders to stay in college as long as possible.

    4-star PG Jaxson Davis — Illinois Player of the Year — talks Northwestern

    Nah he’s cheap. All the big boys aren’t showing any interest. I know Illinois and Michigan both offered years ago but neither is really pursuing him. (I know he’s visiting Michigan but I read he’s a backup to their backup options at the moment)

    Max Green enters the portal after one year as a Wildcat

    Well according to many of the denizens of the old Rivals board, it didn’t happen and was all fabricated

    Flow of international players into college programs

    Why are we always two steps behind everyone? It feels like we are always reacting to what has already happened vs leading.
