Illinois Football Recruiting Thread

[KingWolf11]

Maybe we can flip the Bloomington-Normal EMU tackle who just committed to Miznoz. That would be amusing.

He got a pretty crazy NIL deal

 

[kyillinifan]

Open the position Kruetz.

 

[illinidarrin]

If you think this is bad, just wait until other schools start poaching players that are already here and have had an impact on our team, and convince them to transfer and commit there.

 

[kyillinifan]

I agree that nil will only get worse unless the conferences do something.

Coach is looking a little #madonline with these tweets. Not the best look really

 

[eas23]

I mean, if you recruited him, got him committed, then blamed him going to a different school on NIL, then yeah, it's a loss.

 

[LFOD]

I kinda like it.

Is he claiming he was was stolen away. saying he wasn't a loss as much him being stolen away from from us?

[illinidarrin]

Yeah, i see some bitterness here now with all this.

 

[7 Year Illini]

I kinda like it.

Agree - I like that our coach is a little ornery. Screw the people who say everyone needs to be nice all the time. This is football.

Just got out of a meeting myself and I assume Bret did as well when the news first dropped ... Got a text from a staff source that Bret is FIRED up over this one

Quite a few players taking to social media to voice their opinions as well ... FamILLy doesn't do that to FamILLy kind of message went out to the players ...

Whitman may need to order another trash can ... Brad & Bret = 2 ... Trash Cans = 0 ...

Yeah, i can clearly see the anger. They have every right to be.

Yeah, either be part of the team or GTFO. We're not playing around here.

Sounds like he'll be a nice match with Hugh Freeze.

hey, its P5 college football recruiting, it aint bean bag

Fired up maybe wasn't the right wording ... Angry ? Yeah a little bit ... Frustrated with the portal world ? Absolutely ... Would have done a few things differently in recruiting in recent weeks if he knew this was going to happen ? 100% ...

But Bret certainly isn't going to lose sleep over it ...

NIL gets worse unless there's somehow a CBA, which means CFB would arguably need even more "tiers."

It might be on a conference basis, which is one benefit to super conferences.

A super conferencd with 20 teams ith the same NIL limits is basically a minor league.

Hugh Freeze = dirt bag
