Illinois Football Recruiting Thread

Watching Cichy's tape, he is an amazing athlete. Runs great routes, great speed and makes great decisions after the catch. Good get by Coach B.
Love this signing. Kid will get a real shot to make an impression. We all know the two guys he will get compared to.

if we get these kids, the flyin' illini nickname might start applying to football as well.
HS FB players running 10.4s in the 100m... to quote the great John Candy in Cool Runnings: "I don't care who they are. that's lightning!"

You can’t teach speed. All recruits should be going out for track. Also these are juniors running 10.4. Still a long time until they get on campus

New commit Nathan Cichy ran a 10.83

It's just really good as an Illini fan with this regime. We know we're going to get a floor of 8, 9+ wins, but every year they keep adding talent, boosted by a really underrated '26 class thay should push them into this playoff echelon. You know it's coming....all you have to do is sit and enjoy the time until.

This was another pretty good get.

This is so cool!!!!! Ean played high school ball at Patrick Henry in Glade Springs, VA, my high school played them regularly growing up and I have seen plenty of games from their iconic stadium. Was always a little strange being an Illini fan in nowhere southwest Virginia, but nevertheless I've been orange and blue since a young age. This is an odd full circle feeling, seeing a kid who grew up where I did and is now going to don the orange and blue, will now be my favorite player on this coming year's roster. He knows the system and hopefully can help bring some of the other guys in the DL room and beyond pick this stuff up. Feeling hopeful on the recruiting, lets hope Bret and company can keep things rolling.
