They're definitely pushing hard on that DL from Louisville. Would be a huge splash to get him.

And maybe start actually throwing to them.

I don't think we care about defense. At least that is how it seems.

There it is
Jared Badie and Eian Pugh are the other two of the three amigos. Hope they both decide to join Anderson and become Ilini.
I know the rankings and offers aren’t great or anything but I really like Anderson. He isn’t the fastest guy but he does everything well. I know I wouldn’t enjoy trying to tackle him.
From his film it looks like he has great instincts and awareness to pick a lane and get through openings quickly. And a bruiser.

I really like how quickly we are picking up commits. Identify your targets and focus on getting them onboard. The drawn out Lovie process is much more precarious. Build momentum and keep it rolling. The hotter we become, the more likely a higher end recruit gets onboard.

I could get used to this.
Nice waking up to a new page and a half on this side of the forum. Good to see competition starting to build at key positions. Hopefully this is just the tip of the iceberg.
Joliet Catholic is a great program.. about time we staked a claim.

Wow.
It seems like instead of going through the leftovers we are actually getting our first dibs

we're running the A-11 offense
One can reverse the logic of a phrase used a year or two ago whilst this board was lamenting during the previous administration, by saying "BB is controlling his own narrative."

Boy that’s gotta be a tough scout
Walter Payton was never the fastest guy either.
And Im not saying this lad is the next Walter Payton. but we can hope is half as good as Walter

Given all the activity, I need to start checking this thread more often! 
Pure speed has nothing to do with anything in football, IMO. Payton: strength, quick; Sayers : track star at at Kansas, ran like a deer. No straight-line speed records. Leave that to another of my favorite Bears: Willie Gault . I think it's all about if you have the ability to elude tacklers with moves and smarts and determination.

Walter Payton probably was really fast. He just wanted people to catch up to him so he could hit them.
