Illinois Football Recruiting Thread

That is not what I read. IW supposedly only struggled with crossing patterns. IW was at times electrifying and made passes that only Peters could make is what I read. Robinson has always been the darling of Rod Smith. I never understood why. Peters I can see that, he has played well in games and has a body of work to support his starts, plus he is bigger and has a strong arm, etc... Robinson, I just don't get it. He looks completely lost on the field. I still believe that IW with more playing time would be much better in 2020. IW threw for over 8,000 yards in high school and over 100 passing touchdowns. This kid does not help the team sitting on the bench or occassionally playing in extremely obvious qb running plays. Peters needs a big time backup or successor.

Tarik Black in the transfer portal. Maybe we should take a grad transfer receiver to reunite with Peters?

How about a "Please" at least?

Didnt hear/read that. IW did show flashes, but didnt have the grasp of the offense that Matt did. And what IW did in HS doesn't matter. A lot of times he had way more talent on his side than his opponents. Kids a great talent no doubt. He just wasnt ready and couldn't stay healthy. Nothing he showed while playing should show you any different
No, he’s isnt. He simply won’t play an interior player that isn’t ready. Two entirely different concepts.
Don’t know who fed you this but it’s WAY off. Way, way off.
So @Twangers are we expecting anymore commitments this weekend or are they gonna come more on signing day? Appreciate the insight.

Any idea why Dixon "had" to reopen his recruitment?

An aversion to orange.
I think Spann is our dude.
And that is based upon what? I must have missed all the freshmen QBs that should have played during Lovie's tenure.
From what reputable sources here have stated, it’s not football related.
I’ll shed more light on this after ESP. Things are a bit wild right now.
I don’t consider myself an insider at all but an old college frat buddy works on the staff and he said there are some things that are gonna happen that will surprise everyone. He also called the cooper commitment.
Would you also be willing/ able to share some of the recruits who visited last weekend and were a surprise to you?
Definitely, but next week is going to be time consuming. I’ll do what I can between now and then.
Some DL names being discussed on here with visits this weekend
Newton to Ga Tech
Mayala to Purdue
Bailey to Minny

To be honest I’m not a huge bailey fan. I know some might not agree but he doesn’t really do much for me. Reminds me of gay/Coleman clone.

IW's still playing high school ball with flashes of those days in camp and limited action. Robinson knows every play in that book which gives him the edge as backup(chase daniels). My only question on this subject's what's up with Coran? Strong arm, athletic, has been in the program...Any insider info on Coran?

The very rare late redshirt would pay dividends for him. He looks twice the size he was the last two seasons. Another yr sitting watching the game and letting his Gene's takeover would make him a shiii disturber
