Hopefully he recruits the same areas he did while he was at Wisconsin.
Supposedly he's intent on recruiting Central and Southern Illinois which would be a smart move imo. As mentioned he can always dip up north for some talent as well.
Illinois and the Big Ten is home for me, and I can't be any more excited about the opportunity in front of me with the Fighting Illini,’ Bielema said. ‘We want to build a program that makes Illini Nation proud and regain the passion that I've seen when Illinois wins. We want the young men playing football in the state of Illinois from Freeport to Cairo and from Quincy to Danville dreaming of wearing the Orange and Blue and playing at Memorial Stadium. I look forward to re-connecting with the high school coaches around the state making it clear we intend to keep our players home.
