That's good news, he was one of the key week 1 visits....need to flip him - halfway there.
Lol no my stellar hs grades kept the hourglass away

Werner put a CB on Pugh, with confidence of 7.
Easterling with CB as well for Pugh

Hayden little brother to OSU. Was great to get him on campus though. Chase is gonna have a good year for us this fall in spot duty.
Agreed….it will help later when he’s inevitably behind 3 5-stars on the depth chart and looking for somewhere to transfer to.
Looks like he has committed. I wonder if he has canceled his upcoming trip to Iowa.

Geez, now I have to keep up with the football board, too? The BB side is wearing me out....

I usually leave my screen on new posts and refresh the little blue c circle to get fresh posts on all the threads ....kinda cool to not have to go from BB to FB to whatever...It updates new posts quickly....

Welcome aboard to our newest commit. Great pick up.

Love his size and potential. Number 14 player in Illinois. Getting these in state kids is huge for our future. Fingers crossed for Austin Brown who will be visiting this weekend.

Very stoked about Pugh. Not sure if Badie's close, but someone's gonna grab our last WR ride and probably soon. Bostick?

Perhaps stating the obvious, but Austin Brown is another key recruit. Love his talent and message-wise, a commitment would be massive.

Seems like he is officially visiting this weekend per the timeline on his page: https://247sports.com/Player/Austin-Brown-46103144/
Have to imagine a decision would happen somewhat soon after since he will have taken 6 officials

Love that Pugh cancelled his upcoming OV to Iowa too.
Build from within. Every other school has been succeeding off of our instate talent. BB is slowly locking the state down. May take a few years but he is off to a great start.

Not gonna happen. That said, our in state forays have been a very bright spot. It is becoming apparent that we're gonna recruit the snot out of the talent in our backyard, and that is soooo refreshing. If we can get a decent percentage of top Illinois preps, the task of becoming a sustainably good program becomes immensely easier.

Oh, yeah, one more thing: big props to Coach McDonald.
Really liking the staff BB has put together.

Great commit. Welcome Mr. Pugh. Thanks.
When I read he is 6'4" I immediately thought of another Illini WR: Walter Young, same height. Yes, Walter lost out to Kurt Kittner as starting QB, but that didn't seem to bother him too much. He did very, very well and had some professional success. Thanks, Walter. Walter could catch the ball. Yeah, run routes well, but catch that ball receivers! Illini have had too many receivers who couldn't. Nothing sadder in football than a well-thrown ball dropped.
Something very good is happening in Champaign, football-wize. (I hope). More Illinois boiz, pleaze.
I love the letter Z; my last name begins with it. Great for a seating chart in grade school (usually last to be called on), but louzy when you're waiting in line alphabetically for eatz!
