I think toohot4tots was just a little behind celebrating Dorsey.
Wtb Jeff Thomas commitment.
"Purdue commit Griffin Alstott (son of great Mike Alstott) at Illinois tonight visiting. Lovie/Mike Alstott connection."
Found this on Twitter. He's a QB. Makes a lot of sense. Was wondering when we'd try to recruit another QB for this class.

I am not in charge so it doesn't matter. Also, if we have extra scholarships it can't hurt. But I have no real interest in Alstott. We already have two QB's coming in. I would rather wait till next year to get either one of or both of Patterson or Taylor.

You go after Patterson and Taylor regardless. I think they need another short term option at QB with Thomas a very likely redshirt and the projected starter who has had trouble learning a playbook not here until potentially August now.

Just talked with #illini priority OL target @AlexPalczewski following UI visit. Expects to make a decision Wednesday or Thursday.
Palczewski is easily the most important prospect left on the board, followed by RR and {pick a DE}, so really need to hope the staff closed that one.
Fits the profile. Good frame, live arm, good speed.
Not elite top-end speed, but a really good burst of quickness. I also like how he seems natural at keeping his eyes downfield on scrambles.
You can see why he'd be nervous about Brohm as he's definitely a dual threat. Is he a fit in that offense? He's certainly a fit in ours.
I would say Zion Bedoze is the most important recruit left on the board. I think he would start across from Carney next year. I don't know if Brian Edwards is an actual option but I think he and Roberson are more important. Depending on Dudek, I think Roberson could be a starter next year with Smalling and Malik
I think Palczewski is a big deal, we can't lose an in-state recruit that we offered first to Cuse or Vandy, especially a guy who projects as well as him at OT. I can certainly see an argument for Zion DeBose being #2 (even #1, although I disagree), but that's going to be a really tough one to win considering the distance and the competition for him. Palczewski isn't one we should lose. DeBose and Harris are definitely the best DEs left on the board though. Landing one would be absolute huge.
I am just happy Harris's little brother came along for the trip. That can only help that relationship because he seems legit
Harris visiting ND next week. Seems like he's still open.
