Recruiting in the Big 10 just got a little more challenging with Lovie Smith officially becoming the new head coach at Illinois Along with Jim Harbaugh at Michigan, the Big 10 coaching fraternity is filling up with more big names.

For some kids, I think it will certainly make them look at Illinois in a new way. But maybe more so for the parents, who see a coach who can help their son reach the NFL but will also hold them accountable.
Let's remember, Lovie managed the whole Jamie's Winston media swarm in Tampa this past season and never threw his rookie QB under the bus.
