From what I have heard, this class will be better (more high ranking recruits), larger, and deeper than last years class.

We will obviously land Peters in return for George going there a couple years ago
To Michigan, this is about the equivalent of an even trade.We will obviously land Peters in return for George going there a couple years ago

I think on yesterday's Werner show he also commented on Peters, sounded like he thought Peters wanted to play for a Power 5 team & at this point if we pushed he was probably ours to be had, but certainly added a caveat that nothing in recruiting was certain.

Vanderbilt and Illinois are more comparable than Iowa and Illinois in academics. Leaders in football doesn’t mean very much, especially for a person that is planning to let the process play out. I’m sure he wants to make sure he isn’t making a mistake by committing without checking out several places
The Alma Otter contingent must be seething at that photo, although I suspect not many will see it.

I feel good that he has our current logo. I feel better that he didn’t say Illinoise University. However it would be a lock if he would have used Alma.

I know USC has been down for a while but that seems a bit harsh.Isn’t it obvious?

"I" (eyes), "Pray" (hands), "to God" (finger to the heavens) ? In other words he's hoping someone makes the right decision and choses us?
Or, same first two with finger meaning "number 1"? "I Pray we're (someone in particular) the number one choice"?
Or "Watch me mess with a bunch of people's heads".
(Sometimes I miss the old days of the cryptic string of first letter statements on this board .... sigh)

Looks more to me like he is doing the whole “shhhh” thing as if he knows a secret?
That's what I was thinking. It's definitely a nose, and not praying hands. OMG! Khalil Tate must be transferring here!!!!
Check your meters, guys.
Like he decided to pick two schools with really good academics? I'm pretty sure it isn't a matter of him being able to get in at BC and Vandy but not at Illinois and Iowa. Vandy isn't on too many fall-back school lists.
