It’s definitely an Auburn vs. Illinois battle at this point … The Auburn $$ is legit … It’s a battle …

Family is in decision mode … Announcing on July 1st which is his Mom’s birthday … No final decision has been made yet …

If it’s a public announcement then you can pretty much guarantee where he’s going … I’d be much more concerned if it’s a social media type announcement … Don’t think he’ll be one to have everyone come out to a big event and then commit to Auburn … Maybe I’m wrong but I don’t see it …

Understand Barnett wanting to go to Bama. Pedigree and location make a lot of sense. The perplexing factor is it's obvious that Barnett will be the second-highest ranked running back in Bama's 2026 class, possibly even the third-highest ranked.

Getting both was always a "shoot your shot." If you did it, great, and hopefully they're still as best in the mix for Sutter... but needed to get one.

Coming back for the additional UV after the Auburn visit very much sounded like a closure (visited like 15 times in total).

makes no sense why he'd visit that many times (including the last one) and go elsewhere. even more unlikely him having everyone in MTZ come out hoping Illinois and commit to Auburn.

this is what gives it away it’s us

no way would he have it public in MtZ if it wasn’t the Illini

theoretical question: if the Sutter unofficial was after the Bama visit would it have made a difference?
I don't think he was gonna come back just 2-3 days before his announcement. Probably wants the few days to take it all in. We should take it for as much as a positive as it was that he and JC both wanted to come back at all right before Mack's Bama visit.

call me not happy . it’s a generic cap from UI general store . nothing about it looks like it’s from an athletic dept .
