Haha. I'm sorry. I did come across a little harsh.

I've never clicked on the links and just assumed it was a link to their 247 bio, thank you for pointing this out no matter how harsh!
That’s funny
Zeno from Baylor. Make it happen. Kids very talented.
Could be our Russ Wilson transfer that transforms the stodgy conservative BB offense.
Could deuce be our russ?
Showed a glimpse of that potential in that big 12 championship game vs ou back in 2019.
Wow; quite the list there

Nah, it's that Texas A&M and UCF are the only three-letter logos.
He's from Orlando with seemingly no ties to Illinois. Is there a reason we should get our hopes up here?
Welcome to Loyalty...There is never a good reason to get our hopes up here.
No good place to put this, but am watching ESPN’s PTI and they were talking about Clemson being down. Not sure of the timeframe (maybe last two years), but David Pollack said Clemson has lost 20 players to transfer portal and signed zero. That is crazy.
I heard our offense was going to show up. Must be running late.
So totally random question that has nothing to do with the current quality of our offense….how good is Donovan Leary?

I’ve heard mixed reviews. Some very positive, others not so much.
From an article on 247 about current Big 10 QB commits:
"Through three games, Illinois commit Donovan Leary is 37 out of 68 for 523 yards and five touchdowns with four interceptions. His team is currently 1-2. Leary committed to the Illini back in March shortly after Bret Bielema and his staff offered.
247 analyst Brian Dohn saw Leary live against Red Bank Catholic and filed the following note:
"Leary did not look like the same quarterback from events in the spring in an uneven first half against Red Bank (N.J.) Catholic. He missed a pair of deep passes to open receivers, including one to start the game, and he finished 6 of 13 for 70 yards and an interception. He was accurate on most of his short passes, although he did throw one interception on a route to the right. He was under constant pressure from Red Bank Catholic's defense and he was sacked twice. He did not play in the second half of a 34-0 loss. The 6-foot-2, 190-pound Leary does have a strong arm and a quick release, so look for him to bounce back quickly.""
Report: How the Big Ten quarterback commits are faring
We are now three or four weeks into the high school season depending on which state it is, a good time to check in on the quarterback commits for each Big Ten team to see how their senior seasons are going.
