Coach Bert is a very good coach .Bret is a very good at identifying talent and developing talent. For the most part he's done it with mostly 2 and 3 star kids with an occasional 4 star and has done a fantastic job coaching them up. That being said .. He really needs to step up Illinois recruiting!! I really expect to see Illinois football recruiting getting a lot better this year , especially if we win 7 or 8 games this year. He has a lot to sell these kids since he's been here. I would love to see what he could do with a team that is mostly for Star talent, and maybe once every 3 or 4 years get a five-star kid or two?!?!
This was a winnable game. Really disappointing execution during key plays of the game. There's plenty of things to work on if Illinois is going to be a legit team .

I'm all for the Illini landing more 4 and 5 stars!
