It was along shot but he really liked the staff and pitch.

Recruiting wise, we're still moving in an overwhelmingly positive direction now and into 2021 (Even though Collier isn't all that attractive). Just would have been nice to reel in this one fish.

Are any of these guys we still seem to be good on true game changers like Doyle or Johnson would have been? I feel like we still really need one or two of those guys to make this class a true success.
Difficult question to answer as some of the kids we have and could still add carry bright futures but need work. How I would phrase it? There's no kid that I think could walk in here and start while playing at a high level for us tomorrow. That's purely my opinion.
That said, I don't believe we need to meet that threshold to consider this class a success. If we sign the 3 specific kids that I am hearing we have but aren't officially committed, I'm still going to be happy.

Am I going to be the only one here quoting Urbana's own Ludacris' "some call me Mr. Wiggles" line here?
We will never know because it will likely be deleted when posted
This is what is so hard about recruiting. You get so excited about possibilities of 'so and so' jumping on board, but other people involved or something changes last minute. Seems to happen a lot. As Twangers said, you can't get too emotionally attached.

I suppose it's a matter of privacy (maybe secrecy on Illini part not to let Cal know what's going on), but as a previous poster asked: "How's Peters doing? (or something like that).
I don't need to know Peters' vitals, but how's the concussion thing going? Hope he's OK for football - and for life.
Thinking of Mr. Roundtree, this season. Merry Happy Bobby! Get well!

- respect my decision™
Bummer about Doyle. Hate having my hopes dashed. Gotta look at the bright side, right? If he would have played for us, he'd probably wreck his knee, posthaste.
Psyched about Wiggles and, hopefully, more DLs.
The best of times, the worst of times, lol.

I don't know why a Tech fan would reply to his tweet, " don't need him anyway". It makes no sense. I hope all ILLINI fans act classy on social media.
