Everything will fade except the MI in commitment and the ICHIGAN will appear next to it. My prediction
I swear to god if this is a misdirect like someone said and the “M” in commitment is Michigan, that’s some weak !!!!
I'm only repeating what I read on this board but, Hill today, Elzy in January, and a surprise lineman would probably do it. I don't pay close enough attention to how all the other teams are doing, but there has to some number of players that won't sign. I'm still getting used to this Early Signing Period trend. I wonder what the percentage is of the top 2000 rated recruits will sign early?Does anyone have a nice, concise summary of what BB still wants/needs (between now and June 2023) to make it a really, really good recruiting season? And I mean beyond these 22 we expect to sign today........i.e. a class that would put us in the Top 33 nationally (just ahead of Missouri and Iowa).t
On3 has us sitting at roughly #44 right now.
If that is the case than someone who wrote that Illinois map that was posted the other day made the Michigan map as well....MI ICHIGANEverything will fade except the MI in commitment and the ICHIGAN will appear next to it. My prediction
I have seen Hill play many times & he is over rated. Definitely not a 4 or 5 star. Big ego & not a big loss if he goes to Purdue.
Oo, the rarely seen preemptive we didn't want him anyway. Bold.I have seen Hill play many times & he is over rated. Definitely not a 4 or 5 star. Big ego & not a big loss if he goes to Purdue.
Seems surprising. Would we have gotten him if we still had Walters? I figured he would go to Louisville.Saw that Harkless is going to Purdue.

We might have. From what I’ve gleaned looking at a Purdue board since Walters got hired, they were in some serious need for DL. That might have been the kicker.Seems surprising. Would we have gotten him if we still had Walters? I figured he would go to Louisville.
Harkless decomitted from Illinois in August when Walters was on the staff. I don't think he was coming back to Illinois either waySeems surprising. Would we have gotten him if we still had Walters? I figured he would go to Louisville.
I think he is supposed to sign a little later.What's happening with Schuster? It seems from other posts, Lott and Illini may be parting ways, but didn't know if we were still in good position with Schuster...

Re: Hill. Wouldn’t it be quite odd for a kid who has had an extremely quiet recruitment to suddenly pull an extremely loud stunt for no particular reason? Seems contradictory to me.
Is the new punter supposed to start pretty immediately? I don't follow recruiting much but at games this season, I heard whispers of an awesome incoming punter, I think.Football you need good players to win. However the big difference between basketball and football is freshmen have a smaller impact on the game. You need a coaching staff who can develop them.
With that said which recruits can make immediate impact and how would you grade this class so far based on our needs?
I want to emphasize statement this is NOT meant to slightly our local and in-board guys. I am just some random guy on a PC.Yeah. I still fear a Michigan flip, but this Jyaire Hill "saga" has a big "trust the experts" element with a bit of "we can't be wrong here." Everyone is trying to psychologically analyze a kid who says little.
Not saying the experts are wrong though. Also insert "the quiet ones are craziest one" meme.
I know when he decommited. From reading the Purdue board though, it appears that they had no real traction with him until Walters reached out to him upon getting Purdue job.Harkless decomitted from Illinois in August when Walters was on the staff.

Purdue had offered him while Walters was with Illinois. I totally agree Walters sold him to join. My point in other post was that he moved on and Illinois was not going to land him. The young man has now committed to his 3rd school in 3+ months. Hope it all works out well for himI know when he decommited.
