Update: People kept asking me questions so I had no choice but to pay attention. Sorry, all; the gif will have to wait.
Sounds like you need a different job! WTH?

Camarie McNeil looks like he could be a young Steven A Smith...

I just assumed he was Ryan Foran doing self promotion at this point
I just search the web looking for Illini info so the rest of you can continue to watch: Shark Tank/600 lb. Life/Flip or Flop/Judge Judy/Chris Cromo/Storage Wars/Parking Wars/ American Pickers and Dark Side of the Ring.

Why would it go any other way? There's a daisy chain that takes a little while to settle. We'll be on the wrong end of some it, and the right end of some of it. I suppose the glass half full approach is that realistically, Kentucky often pulls in multiple top 10 recruits, and seems to go after consensus McD type players. Not as much overlap in targets as you might get with some other P5 programs. I'd be surprised if OA and Chin didn't wind up changing focus based on program connections.

My guess is that they're working on their backup plans before they start swinging for the fences.

Keep it up Nutt! We appreciate what you bring to the board. We get snarky around here some times (me too) bear with us.
I don't have much to say....I leave that to you guys. I want to keep everyone informed. As of right now...I'll be heading to the new Illinois R&R Hall of Fame. (for Illinois bands only.) Was there last March (2020)...they had just started building it.

Glad we already have two solid commits for 22 and hope we can keep them. Safe to assume we are starting from scratch with anyone else we were in on
Chester was already familiar with and has immediately been in contact with Storr so I can confidently say that we’re good there. Chatted with his mom yesterday. Lewis Duarte’s coach told me that he loves Chester and IL so there’s that. Personally I think Greer would be a key add to our staff with his Latin-X connections.

The thing I enjoy about sifting through their posts (at least, the ones who post frequently like @illini0440, @Indy Illini Fan, and @LvilleILL) is that they all seem to be getting roughly the same information from whatever their sources are, but they clearly all have different levels of optimism and pessimism. I enjoy trying to piece the puzzle together from there.
Yeah, it makes the waiting easier.

Greer who? And what school does he work for?

As to Duarte, I'd love to land him.
