Follow up to locked post https://www.illinoisloyalty.com/post/need-help-navigating-cfb-recruiting.33596/ Son ended up enrolling in Cerritos College (CA JuCo) and is gray shirting this Fall 2026. He's going up against the starting D on scout O and has become a menace. Slimmed down, even...

All - it's been an amazing and blessed journey. I started this thread more than 1.5 years ago. My son already had an offer for college ball and had been fortunate enough to train with and play on the #1 high school team in the nation. #AGTG He just started his recruiting and posted his "THE...

Big Ten Expansion - Pod Proposal Based on the Maryland AD saying there will be 2 more teams added by 2030, here's a proposal of what I would enjoy to see. This is 5 pods of 4 to increase games across pods, while focusing on retaining core rivalries. West: Oregon UCLA USC WA Quadrangle of...

All - if anyone has a connection with the staff, I'd love a chance to bring my son to the beloved for an unofficial visit or just a workout this upcoming week. Or just observe. OL RT 6'7" 345 Class of 2026 St Frances Academy Baltimore MD https://x.com/Hadihafeez78?t=GlsCnZKx4HM9Rcrz6FbtLw&s=09

Ha! Yes we tried. He started and had a toe procedure at the beginning of winter break (minor impacted toenail from getting cleated during football) and the head wrestling coach (who was also the football lineman coach and who's passion is wrestling) basically told him he missed too many winter...

I can't edit my old message... I'll collect them in a document and post when I have enough. Then we can filter down to the reputable ones that make the most sense

I'm going to find these camps and collect information here. VTO: Mar 3 Jacksonville University: June 1, 23 UMD-Big Man Camp

I'll continue to be on the lookout for private coaching. I'm sure these folks are out there. Thank you for the suggestions and helping me be realistic.

A-B. I'm struggling to find them in Northern Virginia. I'm hoping they'll be at the camps and then want to work with us. The referrals I've found in my network aren't football people. D. There is a private HS in northern Virginia (Flint Hill) that I have been thinking about contacting. I will...
