On a recruiting note...I believe we are in Kendall Moore's final list. Not sure if it's for OL or DL?

[quhawks12]

Also, what's up with this Demetrious Cooper...guy has some serious offers yet doesn't seem like we have really checked him out? (I easily could be wrong I'm just going off what I've read) Looks like the kid is really having a great camp season. Maybe we just need some senior game tape?

Not sure we'd accept his commitment at this point. The staff liked him at DE, IIRC, and they are going to be extremely selective from this point on.

Rumor is grades. Seems strange though with a Notre Dame offer, we shall see.

In other news, a 2014 LB from Ohio has planned a visit to watch us play September 22.

Yes, the last update on Rivals stated that Spearman was committed to Illinois, but will still take visits.

As far as other recruits, WR Montaze Barr, our most recent JUCO WR commit, is now ranked as a 2 star recruit. That leaves DT Bryce Douglas as Illinois' only non-star ranked commitment for 2013.

According to the Rivals guys, Douglas should be a 3 star sometime next week.

I agree totally. He said he was going to wait on his decision and I wonder if that has to do with this situation.

Interesting. I thought that at 1st too but the ND offer made me think there was no way that was the case. Unless they are back to Lou Holtz style recruiting?!

CG is from Illinois, not Ohio. RyanK said he was a LB from Ohio so I would venture to guess we have a pretty good shot at him with the staffs connections in Ohio.

[mdonsbach]

Yeah Clifton is the one that Spearman said he was going to go to College with and Garrett Retweeted it.
