I did this very quick -- only skimming the rivals top-150 -- and only counting 4- or 5-star players:

 

7 -- Michigan State (three 5-stars)

6 -- Indiana (two 5-stars)

Illinois

Purdue

5 -- Ohio State (one 5-star)

3 -- Michigan (one 5-star)

2 -- Wisconsin (one 5-star)

Iowa

1 -- Minnesota

0 -- Nebraska

Northwestern

Penn State

Talent always wins, that said. Coach cal is a good coach on top of being a piece of slime. The guy does an amazing job getting the top kids to play together and play hard. While maybe not a pure x and o star, that still is a valuable trait to have as a coach.

[illiniguy]

Also look at last years ratings breakdown. Add a five and four star to Illinois. Then congrats Bruce weber on an amazing coaching job.

Dawson and Payne involved in a fight at their hotel at Penn State. Police were called. Dawson punched Carroll in the Purdue game and got no penalty so I guess he'll probably get praised for fighting another Spartan.

Dawson is straight gangsta yo!

At the college level, coaching beats talent nine times out of ten.

 

Bo keeps getting outcoached in March, huh?

Purdue is trying to blow a 21 point lead at Nebraska.

AJ Hammons already has as many blocks in his Freshman season as JaJuan Johnson and Brad Miller had with at least 15 games to go. Leads the B1G.

west virginia started 0-12 on 3s. then made 9 of their final 12 3s to erase the 18 point deficit they faced with 9 minutes left to tie the game with 10 seconds left. then iowa state got an uncontested 1 footer with 2 seconds left to win. suck it huggins.

No. Wisconsin's game is built for the Big Ten, where physicality is rewarded.

[illiniguy]

Can we maybe guard the three? Just once?

[Magnetic Curses]

oh well, the days of teams not shooting 90% against us are over

[Magnetic Curses]

teams literally don't miss ever against us ever

Most d1 guys make wide open jump shots.

[UMFan83]

It'd be nice if Minnesota could miss a 3. 8-12 for the game.

[illiniguy]

Hey another wide open three.

[ConstableRabbit]

I thought refs was your usual angle.

that play where shaw got shoved and got called for a foul wasn't great either. but the illini never get the benefit of the doubt from the refs in their own arena.

 

so many 3s against us. so many.

[Magnetic Curses]

that greaseball would have given them the ball.

 

oh well, just call an offensive foul and you can get us back on the other end

[illiniguy]

Did we just stop coaching these guys a couple weeks ago?

[Magnetic Curses]

it helps if you hit your open shots and the other team misses some contested ones

[UMFan83]

Michigan Minnesota has turned into a FT shooting contest.

[illiniguy]

Our guys are gutless, quiting dogs. I would turn the entire roster over.

[SouthSideRyan]

We're never going to win another game.
