Like the wrassler......and really like the attitude. Young man's gonna show us what OL should be. Welcome!

 

[Illinoise]

If only he would finish a play. /s
Definitely plays with a little nasty streak. Looks good to me!

Looks like the marshmallow man from “Ghost Busters...” Hopefully the mean version playing oline lol

 

[illini80]

I really like that he is building the line first. It shows foresight and a solid long term plan. Big tough guys that will set the tone for this team.

Not sure if that's the plan, or simply the way things have unfolded thus far.

 

[SouthFLILLINI]

I am fully on board with Coach Miller and who he wants. The OL will play with tenacity and will be fun to watch.

This is a BIG get, a downstate kid from a great program.

 

[EyeoftheIllini]

If nothing else, those calling for more in-state recruits should be happy. Hope he has a great career and experiences at Illinois.

Guys like Beatty are must gets. If there’s a Central Illinois kid that is good enough for Iowa, Wisconsin, Oklahoma State - we gotta land them. Good for the staff here.

 

[UCantHideYer]

Impressed with the highlights. Skill set showing everything. Welcome young man!

Kid is a gamer. Rochester is a powerhouse and the same program that Wes Lunt came from.

This is spot on. A power program won’t be built just from downstate IL kids but when there is talent good enough for the BIG the Illini have to get them.

Mikey Dudek 2.0

We can only hope so. Dudek was so good as a freshman...great hands...would have done great things if not for the injuries. Could easily picture him have a Wes Welker-Julian Edelman type NFL career.

 

[Future Walk-On]

Yessssssss. He will be legit.

Mikey Dudek 2.0

Idk anything about him. Does he come with the ridiculous speed dudek came with?

 

[moggs3]

May not be done this weekend. Big boy from my neck of the woods

Hope staff adds RB-S Aidan Laughery from GCMS to complete a central Illinois sweep. Kid has jets.

Laughery has offers from Minny and Iowa among others. Ugh.

That's good. We want kids that other programs want (rocket surgery, lol). Only worthy of an "ugh" if he goes elsewhere.
