the talent on the current roster is enough to win the big ten, this year and next year. if we replace the coach, next year could happen. I would agree, although to be fair there are probably 5 schools that could make that claim based on talent (Ohio State, Michigan State, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois). The key for Illinois will be keeping Leonard. With him, they have just as much talent as the other four. Without him and they're clearly behind (the same is true to a lesser extent with Ohio State) The Big 10 is going to be so loaded next year. Most of the top schools have very few seniors, and a few of them have great recruiting classes coming in to add to the talent. i disagree, i think they'll have a legit btpoy contender as well as plenty of talent to surround him with.
