I think we are off to a good start in accomplishing this goal. Illinois is trending upwards in every way imaginable. We were bringing in talented recruits from the high school ranks and through the transfer portal. We are now winning games on the football field as well.
But building a powerhouse program is going to take more talent coming in. We are going to need to start bringing in players of a higher caliber if we want to compete with the big boys of the college football world. That is why the class of 2020 is so important.
