There's a lot here, and a deep dive overall, but I think he strikes the core of his analysis when discussing that having no track record means his projections are going to be low by default. Will our roster deconstruction from last year mean we will outperform artificially depressed rankings, or is our lack of performance indicative of future lack of performance?

I notice that Connelly closes by mentioning being a year away. I'm happy to see that others see what is coming as well. My recent Reddit travels indicate that other teams are starting to notice that Illinois is going to be at least decent in the future, meaning 2019 and beyond.
