The theme here isn't Walters, it's Purdue. Illinois is 6-18 against Purdue since the end of the 1993 season. This is also why it's frustrating when folks on here make season predictions and 90% of them are calling the game a win.

Like him as a 5 tech like Keith played. Would also like to see us go after Khurtis Perry from Alabama. I would also check the interest of cj west even if he is committed to IU

Question for the insiders, Is it Likely for the Illini to get both DT transfers that have visited?
They would take both
Is this a purposely dodged answer? Or an answer because we don't know?
Well, I suppose it could be a slim fast shake…which is technically a meal and a shake in one.

More of a would one want to come if the other already committed

Getting 1 for sure ... Like I said a couple days ago ...
Members of the staff told me they felt Franklin and Gentle were locks ...
Okay, I read ya now. I wasn't quite piecing it all together in my head.
As always, much appreciative for the info y'all provide!
How come we didn't get a serious look from Franklin the first person go around? Was he just chasing NIL?Getting 1 for sure ... Like I said a couple days ago ...

That’s why I can see James being one of the guys they bring in. He has 4 years of eligibility left and most likely wouldn’t play. He would be a project for Jamo to develop. If Short and Meyer both want to commit I wouldn’t mind that.
Thank you for providing the link! That's elite customer service!

We were told this was a “huge” recruiting weekend. Is this the only possible commit to come out of it?
Admittedly, I don’t follow IL football more than casually. I suppose I (and many others) just don’t understand why IL isn’t a more successful program by now. Others like Carolina, Kansas, Mizzou have made huge gains recently, with their mediocre programs now being competitive. Why can’t we? Does it come down to more NIL or will it take a new/higher profile coach to attract the talent/staff needed for B1G success?

did you forget about the Texas CB, Brooks? that one is massive
pretty sure our policy is to let the young men announce, patience. expecting Franklin too, at a minimum
Terrence Brooks is our best portal get by far and instant starter. And it seems very likely that Zakhari Franklin is pretty much a lock.
Edit: @joelgoodson beat me to it

It would be great if he could have a Rod Perry like impact for a season with so many similarities coming in.

No, since I never heard of him. I asked since I honestly didn’t know what was happening on the football side. Thanks for the mini update.
Mizzou has big time nil money.
