Someone posted a few months back that Washington's dad and Corey did not see eye to eye a lot and that we had no chance on him....I guess he was spot on
Can you find that post? If true, I bet Illinois was left out deliberately. With all the other guys coming here and seeming to legitimately like Illinois (maybe even consider Illinois) it seems odd that we wouldn’t make a top 10. Maybe it was done out of spite.
Either that or it’s because we’ve won 5 games in 2 years.

Williams is pretty much a guarantee and he is the best athlete on the team. Getting the best of the bunch is always good plus it will justify the hire of Patterson. Washington's father and Paterson didn't always see things the same so I wouldn't count on him. Shammond is a toss up but he is really the last of the good ball players of the 19 class on that team. The rest of 19 are really 1AA or below type of kids that are being packaged with the big three. There next wave of Power 5 talent kids are 2020 but they lack size.
Giving a grade now is like handing a kid a 3 hour exam and then stopping them at the 45 minute point to grade the whole thing. Of course it’s an F, neither coach is even half way through the rebuild. (And both sports were definitely rebuilds)
It’s good that Whitman will give each coach the appropriate amount of time and isn’t grading them yet.

Maybe a homer article but this basically says Mizzery is the team to beat for Jack Buford
It's time for another #illiniswami prediction. It's been a little bit but this is important enough. My first for the class of 2019. Marquez Beason from Bishop Dunne. Top 80 nationally. Top 6 ATH-Game changer and difference maker wherever he plays. Visiting Illinois this weekend
We need Taylor to make a trip back to the midwest to talk some sense into him. Who could say no to her?
Clearly, Beason would be an enormous get. IBIWISI.

I have no idea who that is, but I will do whatever she wants...
Taylor is the daughter of former illini RB Thomas Rooks & Jack Buford's cousin. She is a U of I grad who's sports journalism career is moving fast. She started working for BTN after graduation & is now with SportsNet NY. And of course she's done some modeling:thumb:
I'm calling it now, IL will have a recruiting class in the 30s in 2019.
This will be a result of Lovie's correction to the recruiting process with the early offers and better recruiters on staff. Add that to some more development evidence on the field, other than wins (cause we aint getting many), and the facilities upgrading.
It's gonna be fun!
Not sure how much stock to put in this "swami" (I know his history):

people run him down and say he steals info, well I know for a fact he gets his info from the horses mouth and more times then not knows about it way before others. he just doesn't try to ruin kids day and tell stuff that he is told in private

Not really the "story" I was referring to but I really don't want to bring it up/rehash it here. New info is new info!

this class will be in the 20s IF we can add about 20 guys
So we may have our starting qb for next year and no one has commented?
It looks like he went to both Nebraska and Va Tech, two pretty good football schools. In between, it appears that he attended Iowa Western Community College. I believe we have had a few players from there recently, but not sure if that was under the current coaches or Beckman/Cubit.So we may have our starting qb for next year and no one has commented?
