Excluding Kramer, 24 kids.
Timing
During Beck 6 kids
Interim Cubes 2 kids
Cubes as coach 16 (Dec 2, Jan 9, Feb 5)
States
AL 1
AR 1
CA 1
FL 6
GA 2
IL 2
MA 1
MD 2
MO 2
MI 1
PA 1
TX 3
VA 1
So 4 maybe 5 within "Illini Nation"
I would guess that this is the most Jan-Feb players we have ever had and the most geographically diverse class we have ever had.
Is this a good class? No. But I think this current coaching staff did a great job of salvaging a respectable Illinois class. I also think that given a full year they should be able to recruit better than this and probably mid tier bigten.
