Any in particular your like more and think could actually commit?

I think we are in a good spot with keith cooper, barlev, kreutz, willie shaw, dedrick smith and tyler mclaurin- i expect to land all of these players. We have serious interest from tar'varish dawson, justin johnson, soloman buccanon, brandon calloway and jack tucker. A couple guys the staff will make a run at are lawson albright, taequan johnson, david davidkov, pat coogan, lovett, lewis, cannon, sam jackson, markiese irving, jaedon wilson and shemar turner.

So big weekend. Wouldn't expect a commitment but wouldn't be surprised if a in-state lineman did commit. I know the staff like where they are will a couple nice 2021 kids, including a kid i think will be a big surprise.
I’ve not been surprised since Beason, so I’ll temper my expectations

Sneaky, if I remember correctly, during the state championship game the announcers said Beatty was the #3 ranked WR in his class in the nation. Do I remember that correctly?

I think i heard something about that but i don't see any evidence of that. He only holds offers from SIU, ILL State, Central Michigan and Western so far. Maybe they meant in yards cause he had like 2,000 and 25 TD's as a sophomore.

Floyd young, who played for Lovie in Tampa, has a nephew in juco That is basically shutting out non Illinois recruitment. He is still listening, but I’d be surprised if he doesn’t sign

I also like our chances with Dawson.

What is his name? And appreciate yours and some others updates!

Any confirmation that there are football visitors today? Or did visits get pushed back?

I am assuming he doesn't mean Connor Barton who was offered a Preferred Walk On and seemed excited on twitter.

Solomon Buchanan is the player. His uncle played for Herm also & the family are all big ASU fans. But Herm isn't going to offer..


Not well received on 247. Taking someone like this so early in the class.....I hope the coaching staff thinks he's badly underrated.

Looks like people in his family have played in the NFL at least. I am willing to gamble on pedigree of players and coaches sons just for the simple fact that they are usually smart players if not super talented.

Offers to penn state, texas, texas tech and Tennessee he's very solid. Since he's juco 247 doesn't really rank them until they commit. He'll prolly be around a 85.


I have serious doubts that he either (1) does not have those offers or (2) they are not commitable.

On a positive note, I live down in Tampa and ran into Deuce Spann at a local track meet. Had the chance to talk with him for a few minutes. I came away incredibly impressed. He is eager to get there and get started. More impressively, everything I talked with him about was yes sir, no sir. He is reporting in June and told me he just made honor roll this past semester. On another good note, he smoked everyone in the hurdles and the 400 and just looked way bigger / stronger / faster than anyone else on the track. Consider me a fan, I'll be pulling for him.
