Be nice if we had some other under the radar dudes in, like a Doyle or Johnson. Any one know about that subject?

from what I’ve been told, this list isn’t complete

@Twangers is spot on and telling the truth.

This is awesome to hear. Are these recruits where we actually have a chance or more like they're just checking Littyville out?

Wondering if it has to do with some assistant coach shuffling at other schools, post signing day

Everyone knows I'm pretty open here but the names I have can't be shared. There are large scale developments behind the scenes and it's not anything guys in the industry want out there yet. I can't say more than that.

Just know that there's a going on and it's all big.

Very intriguing. Guess we will just have to wait and see who makes it to campus over next few weeks. Been following football recruiting pretty closely for over 20 years now and always a ton of hype going into these official visit weekends - always lots of last minute changes, no shows etc... Always loved the story of Kraig Appleton from ESTL showing up to his OV blazed out of his mind.

If they come for a visit they are more than likely interested in the program.

And are willing to consider flipping or committing

Ok so my mind is made up now. Going to be telling all these top names that the B1G West is ripe for the taking. We can be in the B1G champ game every year if we can get some of this SEC talent to come to IL. We are going to have some monster event like Avengers End Game where we sign at least 5 kids that were out of our league earlier this year. Possibly at an All American All Star game that is Nationally televised. We will get some really good ESPN coverage as a result. Thus attracting more higher end talent for next year and the rest is history. Move over Nick Saban, the White Beard is taking over

HAHA! I haven’t heard that Kraig Appleton story before.

I am just kidding, I will not muck up this thread currently. Anticipating some good info coming our way this week

 

[JFGsCoffeeMug]

Someone had to do it. It's even better than I imagined.

 

[frycicle]

Maybe @Twangers means by big names, like really long names, like Imatorbhebhe.

Can't Wait! (Yes I can.)

No, you can't. Neither can I.

 

[frycicle]

No, you can't. Neither can I.

In the meantime, we can wildly speculate.
