Wow a rb who’s keeping the ball high and tight, and in the correct arm! Talk about a lost art

Big lad too. Made for Bert Ball.
Saw that he also posted today that 2023 Montini Catholic (Lombard) RB Joshua Robinson will be in attendance. 247 has him listed at 6-2, 210.

A lot of 2023/24 recruits so I'm guessing the focus wasn't on getting new commitments. Had to be a successful weekend with so many of them at the game and the on-field product looking promising.

Great showcase for our '23 and '24 targets. Sounds like a lot of them made the game.

Complete shot in the dark: Austin Barrett
My money is on Kaden Feagin or Roderick Pierce

I just can't emphasize how much this possibility means to me. Because of Jerry Jone hatred and a dislike of the NFL the last 10 years, on top of the dumpster fire of an Illinois program...I have completely dismissed football for a long time.
If BB turns this program into a more exciting version of his Wisc smash mouth road grader teams....I will fall in love with football again.
Please let this happen.

Grater vs. Grader….I’m not sure I want to see my municipal workers using the former, but in a Power-Running Back it might be a sight to see!

I'd strongly bet that we're taking a HS QB in the Class of '23.

We have one that fits exactly the mold that Brett wants. Will he be a star? probably not, but he seems like a prototypical QB that BB has won with in the past. But, yes we will take a QB in every class

I assume you mean is there a starting QB in our future who we signed as a freshman, because I’d guess we’ve signed at least one QB in every class since Lunt arrived. Who knows with the transfer portal a way of life in college football. I would say if BB brings about the turnaround that we hope for that the chances increase. Not like we’ve been bringing in 4 star after 4 star.
While I'd like to get great recruits the portal is the way of the present
Use the portal only to fill targeted, specific gaps on the roster. Good programs develop high school talent
247 now has us getting a visit from 2022 3 start safety, Elijah Davis from FL. Currently rated #940 in the class. Has several P5 offers but not sure how active any of them are. Previously visited Iowa St. Will be visiting us for Rutgers game.
I'm sure other names will pop up, but besides Selah Brown, looks like the only other 2022 recruits we're going after hard are DBs, which makes sense since we don't have any commitments yet at that position. Hopefully we can snag a few.
