Translation "I've been away from the college game too long and recruiting 24/7/365 took a toll on myself and my family. I thought my name brand and years in the NFL, in Texas, Florida and Illinois would have produced more than it did. I'm glad I can keep st coach now, which is what I love to do."Speaking of Lovie he's on Mcafees show right now and said he is thrilled to be back in the NFL because it is just only coaching.
Translation "I never had even a slight interest in recruiting, thank you for the checks though"
Wow..a fair and level headed take on this board. What a refreshing sight to see!Translation "I've been away from the college game too long and recruiting 24/7/365 took a toll on myself and my family.

Be fair to the guy. If anyone should have read into that more, it was Whitman, who hired him, but even that thought process was good. Lovie gave immediate credibility to the program and his history is in key recruiting states. He just didn't have the stamina or assistants in place to make it work.
I expected the same last year when he started to get offers. Figured he would be unstoppable against the other 1A schools Don’t know how they give out stars, but he must be the real deal if ND, IL, IA are all chasing him.Im right down the highway from ALAH.

Particularly Bahr.Wisconsin offers Kenwood's Khalil Tate and Loyola's Brooks Bahr. Deep in-state class this year. Need to land some top ones
I hope he liked his visit!!!!!
Hope taking him to get the other ESL big fish actually works this time (who am I kidding lol)Crystal ball (from national/regional guy, Allen Trieu) for ESL LB Antwon Hayden (2023): https://247sports.com/Player/Antwon-Hayden-46108966/
#34 overall isn’t a 5 star in football? That’s like a top 15ish player in basketball.Some '24 in-staters starting to earn 4* status: WR Cam Williams (has visited Iowa a bunch) and DL Justin Scott (UI first to offer), Darrion Dupree
Scott got #34 overall
Darrion Dupree #95
Williams #124
Tysean Griffin #202
Eddie Tuerk #212 (seems enamored with UM and Iowa)
Also, Joey Okla's teammate OL Jensen gets #239
Was thinking the same thing. Is it a ranking in state vs nationally?#34 overall isn’t a 5 star in football? That’s like a top 15ish player in basketball.
I wondered that. Rivals says 34 national. 247 doesn’t have rankings yet.Was thinking the same thing. Is it a ranking in state vs nationally?
I know nothing about Hayden other than what is on his 247 page, so other than him being an in-state recruit and from ESL (which I know are good things), would this be considered a good get if he chooses Illinois? Just wondering as his offer list is fairly mundane.Crystal ball (from national/regional guy, Allen Trieu) for ESL LB Antwon Hayden (2023): https://247sports.com/Player/Antwon-Hayden-46108966/
He is a big fish! This staff actually evaluate talent and don't based things off the star network. I am impressed with this staff.Hope taking him to get the other ESL big fish actually works this time (who am I kidding lol)
Hayden is the real deal. He transferred to ESL from a small private school. He is a very high level kid. Played at a high level last season against Bosco and IMG. He hasn't participated in any camps (T Shirts and Shorts) which is why they are slow to give him stars. He will start as a Freshman in college.I know nothing about Hayden other than what is on his 247 page, so other than him being an in-state recruit and from ESL (which I know are good things), would this be considered a good get if he chooses Illinois?
