Big kid with a 6’11 wingspan
Doesn’t look like he’s going to be an Illini.
Impressive GPA. Maybe he'll be the next Mike Hopkins in his chosen profession.

weren't we recruiting him pretty hard? Also, is it impossible for Illinois to get a top TE? We seem to keep losing out on that position when it comes to top players.
Yup. Word on here for quite some time was that he was an Illini lean.
TE, and to some extent, OL prep recruiting has been much harder for BB than I would have anticipated given his run of NFL players at those positions at Wisky.

total suckage
pretty hard? try super rock hard. both of his parents are Illini alums.

Is it the ability to get paid while in high school that is tipping the scales THAT much for MO?
I HATE EVERYTHING RIGHT NOW
Wow our te recruiting the last few years…
Isn't this the one that Mizzou fans were really confident in and the board insiders here were like....they have no idea and will be disappointed when we get him?
In Missouri, he’s getting paid in HS. Getting good money too.

Brown was a big Illini fan growing up. makes it all the better.

Didn’t they change the law in Illinois so players could start getting paid in high school.
I don’t know about the state of Illinois. But living in St Louis, it’s been law for over a year now in Missouri.
Big reason some of these football and basketball commits to Mizzou are sticking with them.
Illinois becomes 25th state to allow NIL on high school level
The Illinois High School Association is the 25th state group to allow high school athletes to participate in NIL without losing eligibility.
Previously, we got almost no recruits from Kentucky, and no one on our current roster is from that state. From comments in this thread, someone (probably new) on our staff has connections there and is bringing in a quality group of recruits for official visits. I always like seeing us cast our recruiting net in new territory, extending our reach.

- Cary-Grove, the better Trojan team
Starting to feel like John Groce's point guards
Hunter Henry is Bielema's DJ Cooper
Mizzou got commits from the #1 and #4 ranked recruits in Missouri today. Damn
I think Vala will be a good player but the perception isn’t good. Jack brown grew up an Illinois fan and we still opulent get him.
Another top high school TE tells BB no thanks
