Illinois’ current recruiting class consists of three players. Those three players are Coran Taylor, Julian Pearl and Antwain Walker. All three of these players will have a role on the team in a year or two, but where does this class rank among the Big Ten?
Well, right now the Illini rank No. 13 in the Big Ten. They are second to last with the only team trailing them being the Rutgers Scarlet Knights. There are two factors in why the Illini are that low in the rankings.
The first factor is the star ratings. Illinois only has two three-star recruits and one two-star recruit so far in the process.
