Illinois is just finishing up a $120 million renovation of Memorial Stadium, so your info is at best outdated.

I'm sure Buckner is taking a long look at MSU's commitment list and thinking, boy it sure would be nice to role into East Lansing with that crew next year.

Or he could look at Illinois' commitment list, plus the past 2 classes and realize there's more talent in Champaign. Plus there are a bunch of guys from Chicago on the Illini roster that he knows already.

Are you laughing because both Hill and Buckner keep mentioning Michigan State as being in their "Top 3" despite being committed to Illinois?

I'm laughing because these kids want to take some visits and get "wined and dined", but they'll be Illini when it's all said and done.
