What a joke crystal balls can be when these guys just change it last second. Time stamps say 6:05 and 6:03pm. After Bielema's tweet too. lol

Im officially sold on this staff, love what they have been doing so far.

 

[redwingillini11]

Welcome to the family!!!
Building momentum for in-state guys!!! This staff is building something!

 

[217sports]

Will he be RB or safety? Obviously seem to need safeties more but curious to the plan

 

[JFGsCoffeeMug]

Nah, just a little tongue-in-cheek sarcasm about the number of TEs we seem to be recruiting.

Really good get!

Appears to be rb. Im on team secondary aswell but im not complaining since he’s not going to iowa.

Look at the number of Illinois kids we have committed for next year. This is so impressive to me when you consider the short time period since BB was hired.

it will be so sweet if a local lad like him is able to have a great career at UI - a 25 minute drive for the Gibson City family / friends .

we would get a ton a good press if he makes it all happen the next 3-5 years

Agree 100%. That being said this staff has its work cut out for them to turn around the top 10 going forward. That’s hard to look at (thanks Lovie)!

This Bielema guy wasn’t messing around when he said we were going to make recruiting Illinois a priority.

Double dose of dopamine, get a local kid and stick it to the squawks. *chef’s kiss*

 

[Joel Goodson]

Any recruit-niks care to weigh in on our chances with our targets?

Looks like only 6 4star no 5star and going to 6 different teams so could be worse

Solid get for the staff. Feels like an added boost when it's a (1) surprise and (2) a recruit that also had Iowa as a finalist. Going to need 3-4 more of these same caliber recruits to finish out the class to keep the confidence (and respectable recruiting rankings).
