Illinois completed a strong signing day on Wednesday so I thought this would be a great opportunity to check back on the players Illinois has had in the fold for quite a while to see how they've improved in their senior year. A couple of these guys are multi-position players, but Coach Bielema identified each of their primary positions in his signing day press conference, so that's where I'm slotting all of them for now.

I'm going to start with my favorites: the offensive line. Folks, this group of three linemen is the best I can remember coming into the program.
