Thanks for sharing. Interesting article. Shows that crystal ball predictions are often meaningless. Also confirms the NFL experience of our staff can make an impact, at least to defensive players.

We preach to our JFL players that the two most important skills that win games are blocking and tackling. Without those, it doesn't matter who your QB, WR, or RB is.
Tell that to Rogers in Green Bay
I hate to be this guy but I'm a Packer fan and I have to... Rodgers. Now back to your regularly scheduled Illinois football recruiting news.
Nope. If his dense can't stop anyone, it doesn't matter how good he is. Even the great Aaron Rodgers can't throw from his butt.

Why are some of you doing this . We may get Ford yes, but this once again feels like your dream girl winking and blowing you a kiss just because its fun. He is one guy I would love to get but until he is signed, I take with a grain of salt any attention he is paying to us. He has been playing this game with at least a dozen schools.

But, at the same time, don't we have to play the game to have a chance to win?

I don't think posters on here are saying he is ours just because he was excited and tweeted about a cool recruiting tactic our coaches used. But this is the football recruiting forum so there is nothing wrong with talking about it.
Also, just as a PSA, if anyone on here DOES think we will get Luke Ford based on tweets like that, please don't get your hopes up.
He could come here, just don't expect it. (Like pretty much every recruit)Illini_1979

I appreciate it when anyone has info and is willing to share. I will admit that I have been checking for news a bunch lately and I am getting anxious again. Is there anything coming soon do you think? Haven't heard much since this post. Oh well football will be here soon enough.:thumb:
No doubt. Yes it is actually a good thing to do the social media thing I guess, as he just loves it.
For me though it is like some some preteen girl wild about the latest Justin Bieber or like any performer who end his show with ( your choice of city here) we love you so and so. Do they love every city or just that the are getting the big bucks there.

I have no idea although before Avery committed Lovie said that the size of the class is where they'd like it to be entering the season. Given how small this class could be they may want to wait and reflect on how certain players do in their Senior seasons and then make a final push in December and January.
There are guys like Adams and Atwell who could announce their commitments soon. I noticed that Atwell picked up an offer from Louisville so he may be leaning towards them now.
I don't know if guys like Perkins, Ford or Craddieth are in a hurry to announce their decisions. I know they are pushing hard for Craddieth but he also just picked up a Nebraska offer.

I realize I keep bring up the where are our commits things, but....
A few weeks ago someone posted a Chief gif. Said we would have to wait until the students get to school to hear. He said it wasn't Lawson. So are the students in school yet? Anyone notice any names in the student directory? I could look. But I wouldn't know it if I saw the name I bet.

Why would it say have to wait until the students get in session?
Trust me, it pays a lot better if you get five numbers.I had 4 out of 6 #'s only $50
