I think Dad has the wisdom to understand that there are bumps in the road and things don't always go as planned. Plenty of highly regarded HS kids don't end up being stars in college.

Fitzy wins another recruiting battle over BB
Go watch Grants hudl film and see him dominate the ccl as a 15 year old sophomore. He will make an instant impact at whatever school he goes to. He’s already 6’4 225lbs with 2 more years of hs left. He’s already bigger than our current te commit
I have a good source out of MLK that we’ve been #1 throughout…
That info was prior to the recent visits, so maybe Sparty cuts a bigger check?
I think it comes down to what does he want to play? WR or S?

- it's all ball bearings, nowadays
hell, yeah!
Coach Stepp, aka the shark!
Gotta like where we stand. He’s committing right after our ov and canceled his IU visit

give me Konkey or give me death!
might be a bit of hyperbole there
might be a bit of hyperbole there
I know it doesn't matter, but he's definitely pointing right at Illinois!
OV went great, Stepp is a fantastic recruiter, and Coach B has established an awesome culture
Correction… my source was fooled too.
it is indeed a real longshot for us to ever snag a player from Detroit or anywhere up there jf either UM or MSU wants him

this sounds good too ($):
When you have two heavyweight insiders, saying the same thing about Konkey, you can mark it. The fighting Illini continues to reel in the cream of the crop. ILL

Come play WR in a modern or Ferentz's dinosaur offense. I know which I'd rather choose
blackdog
- Champaign
I just looked and the last time Iowa had a player break 600 yards receiving in a season was TE Sam Laporta is 2022. The last time they had a WR go over 500 yards was 2019. I might have miscounted but during that time Illinois has had 10 times during a season when a WR topped 500 yards.

Also why I would give the Illini a good shot in the Bowen recruitment.
Laporta and 2022 was 4 years ago. That’s a long time ago for a 16 year old. That kid will hear that from every single school in his recruitment.

I’m not sure our recent te play is much of a sell
Do we know what time he is announcing today...if there is a set time?
