Looong way til signing day, especially in today's landscape. Kinda had the feeling one of these would happen with the sheer quality they're hauling in. Move on...

Maybe I am blowing sunshine up everybody's butts but from St Louis native Yogi Berra "It ain't over til its over."
I knew it. go back to my posts the thread he committed i told y'all (and got blasted for it). not really surprised. it's all about the $$$.
Waiting for the day that high school football player will get $10,000 a year before he puts on a college helmet. Oh well. Get Tilson and another Florida d back. College football is about to be loss to the highest bidder.
Regarding Singleton: who cares? Of all of the good CB’s our staff has churned out, how many of them were high-level recruits?
Flip side: how did Terrence Brooks pan out?
Give me the kids that want to be here and will work for it.
Now, the Altmyer, thing…if that has legs I’m dead inside for about 3 days then I’m asking Leary if he wants to come back.

They have way too much money, we can't compete with that.

I'd feel better if Indy Illini Fan came in here and gave us a "Luke ain't going anywhere" post.

- how was I to know, she was with the Russians too?
Get Tilson & Hankins and we're better than good with Thomas already in the fold
No commitments should be taken seriously until the season starts. These are just kids that are enjoying the spotlight and money being thrown at them.
I highly doubt that there are any legs to the QB situation, but our HS recruits are fair game. Everyone's are.
Silly to get worked up about it.

Can we get some insider word on Luke? The silence is deafening…

Buzz kill. Hope it doesn’t derail the momentum
Might be an unpopular comment, but congrats to Singleton. Obviously, it sucks for us. You expect a persons word to be worth something even though in reality we are dealing with 16/17 year old kids, but hopefully they gave him life changing money (subjective) and he balls out. We will be fine, and I trust in Bret and the entire staff will keep getting the most out of what we have at our disposal. Best of luck to Vic who was a great advocate for the Illini on social media for the few months he was committed. I-L-L

About to be?
It’s been eerily silent, earlier I thought there would be no way Luke would leave, but there seems to be more and more smoke, which never seems to go well for us.
Ya know…. If this NIL issue does not get fix… I think I am done with college sports…
This is maddening.

Can someone call Shad Khan before this materializes?
So theoretically, if this wild west continues, in 2026 Shad Kahn could pony up 300M$ and we could contact every player on Ohio State on the last day of the portal and have them all flip to us, right?
Some prospects are rumored to ask for that for a visit
