So far I have looked at a couple of the WAY early top 25 lists for next season and wow the top of the Big Ten will be stacked. Both of the lists have included Purdue, Michigan State, and Ohio State in the top 5/7 range with Illinois sliding in around the 24/25 range. It seems that the rich keep getting richer while the bottom half struggles to keep up. It should be a fun year in the conference next season.
Big Ten Next Season
- Thread starter IAJay
- Start date
Those top three will have some of the most senior laden teams around.
Pretty rare for top talent to stick it out for 4 years...MSU and PU especially threaded the needle 3 years ago...big classes full of kids that were rated from top 30-75..good enough to be great college players but not quite good enough to leave early. OSU had Oden,Conley and Cook leave early,but lighty stuck,and the diebler,Turner,Lauderdale class right behind them was very good also.
