I don’t want Caleb Love anywhere near the Illini. He is the definition of a chucker. I saw him take 36 shots in a game last year and make about 10. No thanks

Love on Illinois would make RJ look like Steve Kerr last season

A chicken, Pru. I said I gut a chicken every morning. Not a cat, my friend. 😹🐔

I was hoping my invocation of a “ generational portal” would inspire a PruGIF (TM) and you did not disappoint.

I maintain faith that the generational portal will bestow PG bounty upon The Beloved :illinois: soon enough, and TerrHawk shall follow. The Insider Oracles have spoken. All will be well.

As for me, a long stretch of work is coming to fruition this evening. That G&T awaits:

Home, home again.
I like to be here when I can.
When I come home cold and tired
It's good to warm my bones beside the fire.
Far away across the field
The tolling of the iron bell
Calls the faithful to their knees
To hear the softly spoken magic spells.

It's been hinted on this board that players "get paid" to take official visits -- in this case, RayJ Dennis. I don't understand how this would be, other than getting SWAG on each trip. Who would be paying Dennis to visit Illinois then Michigan then Baylor then Utah? This seems like a very suspect premise to me, and I'd love some insight from people who actually know how it does or doesn't work.

When Bryce Brown was being recruited in football, he was given a duffel bag with $10k in cash on his visit to Florida, no strings attached. They also had a bunch of extra perks laid out on a table and told his dad $100k per year to sign with them.

He ultimately signed with Tennessee and no one I knew on the team would say a word about what he got to sign.

This post reminded me (with a smile ) of taking a road trip many years ago. My 3 young kids in the back seat saying "are we there yet? are we there yet? are we there yet? are we there yet? are we there yet? ...LOL

:cool: Thank you; I did that intentionally. IMHO the theme of the recruiting thread this week should embody certain stanzas of Breathe:

Breathe, breathe in the air
Don't be afraid to care
Leave, but don't leave me
Look around, choose your own ground

I'm hopeful, and via our Insiders confident, that by weekend's conclusion we'll be feeling like Clare Torry singing The Great Gig in the Sky.

Pru and Altgeld right now...

Strangers passing in the street
By chance, two separate glances meet
And I am you and what I see is me

My preferred state of mind..............................

There is no pain, you are receding
A distant ship smoke on the horizon
You are only coming through in waves
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying
When I was a child I had a fever
My hands felt just like two balloons
Now I've got that feeling once again
I can't explain, you would not understand
This is not how I am
I have become comfortably numb

I have become comfortably numb
