I'm guessing we comp the tickets for recruits and immediate family. But do we really charge for seats in this 'recruiting' section? Perhaps 'reserved' is a more accurate description than 'Sold Out' ????

A great little Ron Guenther as behind the times and hostile to mass public interest story.

Feels like every recruit in America is going to be there today. Is this a record for number of visits for us?

they maxed out .
not sure if that’s a record

So how do we think recruits interpret a game like the one we all watched today?

Hopefully there were lots of defensive players hoping to play early

So how do we think recruits interpret a game like the one we all watched today?

I think a HS player would see an exciting high-scoring game with a mostly-engaged crowd. While not ideal for those of us wanting to see a tighter defense, I think that’s pretty good in getting Illinois to be seen as a great place to play.
