Warranted? Probably. There is only one reason that he takes a visit. He is not sure. UNC has money and opportunity. He got off campus without a commitment and that was always to be the warning sign.
I believe it has been said before, but you have other players on the team who will know what you paid for these "bidding war" players. Paying someone way more than other good players sows the seeds of discord. If you are desperate, you pay whatever you think you have to. We are not desperate.
I am really surprised that there’s not more discussion of the first five star recruit for Illini basketball in who knows how long. Congratulations Coach Green!
That is a huge "if". The OL gives me some hope. If he were constantly running for his life, it would be a prescription for disaster. Hoping the OL stays healthy and gives Altmeyer time to grow into the position!
This is very true, but think of all the teams that are one player short of going a whole lot further than they did. Only one team wins the championship and that team got everybody they needed. The hope is that in the future we will be the team that gets all the players it needs. Not necessarily...
If we lose this game or if this game is really close, I see this as (at best) a four win season. If we win convincingly, I am breaking out the orange Kool-Aid. Hate to put so much emphasis on one game, but I think it is warranted in this case.
You mean “when he has a 1000 yard season this year,” we will attract more wide receiver prospects. Based on what he did last year with an inferior offensive scheme, I can’t imagine him not having one of the best wide receiver seasons in recent Illini history.
