Blimey, a real shocker!
Right, some kids will do silly things. Adults get to ignore it all and focus on the kids that are coming to Illinois to play.Folks, let’s avoid taking things personally when an 18 year old chooses someone else besides our favorite team. Let’s also not project their decision making process for a televised ceremony as how they live their life.
Assume you mean who will be early enrollees.Anybody know how many and who out of these signees are going to be starting with us in the spring?
True. I think if anything though it makes you wonder about the adults supporting these kids. At 18 your still need your parents and teachers to be parents and teachers. Setting up a big ego inflation event doesn't seem like a long term good. Maybe I'm just old and grumpy now idkRight, some kids will do silly things.

Feagin was 5th in the state and it's been several years since we got a top 5 kid from Illinois. (I'd have the exact year but 247 wasn't cooperating). I think this underscores just how much work BB and company have had to do to win over our own state.Disappointed we couldn't lock in a top in-state prospect, but at peace that we have a solid class of football players who want to play for us with the prospect for one more outstanding talent to join us. The State of Illinois Football is strong!
That's my opinion as well. But, there's no maybe about me being old, so I don't know what to tell you.True. I think if anything though it makes you wonder about the adults supporting these kids.

It is absolutely the most critical thing, but I think you should just understand and expect the QB Portal Carousel as the way of the world in college football now.I wish we had our QB position solidified. The portal bailed us out last year with TDV. Can Bret pull another QB out of his hat?
I agree generally but I have more respect for people who act like grown ups. Can’t imagine either of the Brown bros doing something ‘silly’ like this.Right, some kids will do silly things. Adults get to ignore it all and focus on the kids that are coming to Illinois to play.
I'm not a big "we didn't want him anyway" guy, but sounds like a potential locker room cancer. Character shows he is where he belongs.Boo. Michigan gets another.
Side note: that kid just showed his character. His parents should know better. #cliffmas
For what it's worth, I didn't trust Hyman Roth right from the start. But, he did accept the good with the bad.It is absolutely the most critical thing, but I think you should just understand and expect the QB Portal Carousel as the way of the world in college football now.
Like for real, if we get Hudson Card, Donovan Leary and Cal Swanson will be some other school's dance partner in a future carousel.
As Hyman Roth said, this is the business we've chosen.
Yes, but I had pulled this, my father (ex WWII sergeant) would have beat my axx so hard I would still feel it in my late 60"s.While I don't like the way he went about things, I was 18 once and did much dumber things... actually I'm 34 and still do some dumb things. Let's cut the kid a break.
