Top 10 recruiting classes for '17. the competition is gettng tougher in our immediate vicinity.

The majority of the players are still uncommitted, Creighton is ranked #5 on 247 and UCF and Western Kentucky are #12 & #13. Heck we are #23 with just CM, if we signed Garza today we'd be top 10.

UW has filled there class with three 4 star type kids in the 60-150 range, two from Minnesota and one from Wisconsin. Nothing ground breaking. Illinois always recruits well.

Point is those rankings don't mean much right now.

I really want Wisconsin to flame out now that Bo is gone. It's long overdue for theme to suck again.

They might win the BIG title his year.

The Wisconsin coach might end up being pretty good, but it usually takes a year or two to see if there is a drop off. Talent is nice, but its better if you know what to do with it.

And they might fall flat on their face. Odds are better for the former, but I'm really hoping for the latter. And like Tierney said, the fall might not be till next year.

We agree on wanting Wisconsin falling flat on their face. I didn't add that comment to make yours look bad. I think they might win the BIG but it would be so much more satisfying if they tanked.

It was so fun watching them fall apart last year. Then they lose their hall of fame coach and somehow have a miracle finish. Sucked.

I don't really care if they tank or not as long as Iowa beats them. Its kind of nice having teams that can compete with all the talent the Michigan States, Ohio States, Indianas bring in every year. Everyone knows that some schools have a big advantage in recruiting over other schools. Its probably easier in basketball to build a top level team since only five guys can start at a time. Illinois is another team that has a big advantage in recruiting, but they never seem to find the right coach. I think Fran has built Iowa to a pretty high level, and they seem to be a team that's just going to get better.

When the stars align for them they rarely eff it up. Kudos for them for taking advantage.

This is like saying everyone in the B1G should watch out for Iowa due to their number 2 ranked 2018 class (Number 1 ranked for B1G teams)

For real? #2?
Well, in that case I really like these rating agencies and how they work.
