Doesn't look like we are going to do so well with Juco's this year. We got a good one in Kante, but was hoping for a DL as well.Spencer

Looks like most of the commits got a bump.
Was he a walk-on? Can't recall his name.
Rusk would’ve played a lot
sry, meant to say with Rusk coming back next year how far down the chart would Guinn have been?
No, he was a TE transfer that got hurt and didn’t play this year. Big expectations for his pass catching abilities. Should be a huge factor next year.
From Dan’s January 5, 2024 post…can’t believe it’s been that long already.
Murray State transfer TE Cole Rusk commits to Illinois
I see he delayed his commitment, wonder if he looked up FSU's record this season

Let's hope this thread picks up in the next 24 hours.
The bottom. He left the team because he wasn’t going to play

White is the big mover here, going from ~950 to ~800.
The rest of the moves up are the ranking creep - they are getting moved up because other guys in their same rating neighborhood got moved up for [reasons], followed by evaluators saying "well Smith is ranked at X, we need to move Johnson up to Y" that creates inflation issues. Farrell is a good example; regardless of his long-term outlook, it doesn't make sense to have a player rehabbing a torn ACL receive three rating bumps during the season. Newton got a rating bump, but he's still ranked lower than he was a month ago. Hirdes got a rating bump, but he is actually ranked 50 spots lower than when he committed to Illinois.

Naperville Central WR. we went after him hard, but lost out to Cincy. wonder if we'll make another run:
Pretty sure Guinn quit the team back in August according to Bielema. It's not even post worthy if he had already quit on his teammates and school he committed to before stepping on the field imo

I was just about to post that. It's nice to see players recruit for us.

yeah, it means a stuff-ton more coming from a player, especially one that's been in the program for a long time.
He committed to UI, wasn't in line to make it academically, and hence he 'decommitted'. Was always going to be a stretch, but at a time when we were struggling to recruit in-state, he made sense to have on the commit list for a while
Crystal ball to Florida State. Hope the crystal ball gets a crack in it today. Go Illini!
There were three CB’s yesterday I believe. Now only two so I think someone took their’s off.

The fact that he hasn't committed yet after he said he would yesterday, tells me some things are going down behind the scenes. Let's hope it's Illinois that has gotten into his ear.
