Where is all the Adrian Martinez speculation coming from? Does he have 1 or 2 yrs left?
I think it’s just something shiny to argue over until we get some real rumors on a transfer QB.

Id rather have the poster that 0440 was trying to recruit to transfer in as QB (it’s possible I didn’t interpret his post correctly).

It just came up since Adrian Martinez entered the transfer portal....just something to talk about. Less to do with speculation of him coming here at all.

That being said we can talk about recruiting all we want but we are many years and coaches gone of when I thought we would have a consistent QB in place. I think BB is going to build a winner here. I know for one he is getting the pieces in place but hope he can land a solid QB sooner than later.

He probably saw he will not unseat Stroud. If I remember he should still be in high school.

We did get 2 commits already, but your point stands. I expect the staff to push hard the next 10 days before the early signing period begins on Dec 15th. The transfer dominos will start falling soon as well. It has to be a crazy time to be a coach.

I think we are on the same page but I thought it would be a moment to further flesh out my thoughts. Win or lose against Northwestern, the staff was going to add 3-4 preps to their class. McCantos is a great addition and boost via class rankings. I'm looking more for someone like Thomas or Austin Brown (I need someone to say Bielema still has a chance. You can even lie to me) or Anthony Brown (current Arkansas commit) that would elevate the quality of the class. Illinois' AVG score is still sluggish compared to the rest of the Big Ten (i.e., the quality is lacking) and getting a top-500 or 600 recruit would be a nice boost. It also would create some buzz with some Big Ten writers and make the sell easier for the 2023 class.
