Remember that time. Zook was on a run. Brent was highly recruited but still a tad underrated. Hooman was off the radar underrated. Two NFL players from the same HS (In-state). That was a good time then if you followed the Illini.

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...

I was saying the Twitter link but I see where you got it from now.

It says he's 250.

Think you're underselling White right here. Scheme change yes, but he's plenty talented, great size at 315-330 and has a relentless motor.

Good get. Solid, athletic and room to grow. Really like the in-state momentum here. Should have some more good news soon.

If that's verified 4.5 then for sure. Would add to the versatile and athletic athletes they've been getting. I'm going to watch the tape but if those are verified and he has even solid tape (Which I'd expect with this Illini offer now), I expect a lot of traffic soon. Asked earlier but would...

Didn't know where he ranked but for sure thought he has big time ability. I only had to watch about a minute of his highlight film to see it. Illini just continue to add pretty good football players.

Would he be the first there since Brent and Hooman?

Another big time in state addition. I actually thought it would be flip flopped on Wagner and Fifer but this is cool. The thing to keep in mind is the season is coming (And I think it will be another ery good one to say the least). I'm not counting out none of these recruits.

I'd imagine he's going to put on 10-20 pounds this summer. Still, shows a willingness as a blocker who isn't afraid to mix it up and get physical. That bodes well. The receiving upside is the most exciting part IMO. This add makes the TE room as versatile as it's probably been, and we're all...

Looks like a potential impact player as a big WR in certain sets and TE.willing blocker as well and is physical in some of those clips blocking. I haven't watched the entire tape but that is a good get in an offense that will be explosive IMO.

Just what they need. Very good in-state get and needed momentum as they hit the summer run before the season. Another 9, 10+ win season and let the chips fall where they may.

Look good on Wagner or? It seems like they have a fair shot looking over the whole recruitment but who knows? I know it would be a big addition to an OL that was completely rejuvenated with this past class. Have to keep it going and keep adding in the trenches.

He's going to be a monster on the OL sooner than later. If you want to go crazy, you can also line him up at NG. He'd be a monster NG as well.
