Mt. Carmel on the other hand borders the Big Wabash and is close to Princeton, Indiana. Mt Carmel was a member of the NEC which was a very good Class A conference in the Illinois 2 class system conference before it disbanded.
Yep ......had a lot of tough teams for a long time........We played against Carmi , Fairfield and others from that conference ....physical games.....I loved it ................

geez, when is the last time we had a player from IC ? ever ?

Never? I'm not gonna pretend to know squat about IC's recent rise, but, since they're in my backyard,...I think Driscoll's demise is a factor. IC hired a good coach, who, in turn, has brought in a good staff. A lot of their success is due to recruiting. Huge difference though between their class and the big boys.

From an Illinois perspective, I think where a kid goes to HS matters very little. Just have a much better feeling that the current regime is doing a more thorough job vetting these kids and figuring out pretty darn accurate assessments (there's always exceptions).

247 is way behind the Illinois staff in adding all these names to their database as prospects or offers.
I have noticed that once Illinois offers a kid, thee kid is instantly a three star (see Magnus Moller, Cal Swanson among others). It is a variation of the "if Bama or Texas offers kids, they instantly become four star recruits" meme.

one wonders how often Michigan or Iowa gets the same mistake, or how often someone writes or says University of Purdue

It is a great comfort knowing Pruman is around so that I have someone who understands my cultural references.

This gif is concrete evidence that one shouldn't put down something like cultural references without exploring what the references are .........This statement that no one can eat fifty eggs was shattered by someone with a different cultural experience and a hearty stomach.......

I love to accumulate as many cultural references so as to NOT be surprised by anything , but the last 6-7 years has shaken my foundational beliefs of being surprised big time by said references....It really really has......................
