College athletics used to homespun and have a touch of innocence. Big money, big tech, political corruption all involved now in dirtying up and giving a professional new mean-spirited approach and appearance to it all… it will never again be what I first became a dedicated fan of many years ago...

So very sad… my sympathy’s to Bobby’s family… RIP.

Another real good commit for Illinois. A kid that would have been ignored by Lovie and others… hopefully starts paying off even bigger in the future.

Recruit gang members you get crime.

Sad if so…

Baer the huge OL would be a great get for the program. Type of kid our Coach landed regularly at Wisconsin.

I was thinking ILB with two years of weight training.

Exactly.... love to see Owen make the commitment to the Orange & Blue.

Not surprising really. Cheating etc, seems to be rewarded and encouraged these days.

Jimmy Liston is a kid I thought would get and offer.

Does anyone remember Zook had a recruiting TV show that was on like every Saturday... recruiting news and prospect information. Nothing like it after the Zooker left.

I thought Cooper Davis had a chance to be a star at OLB in a 3-4 defense.. ideal size and athleticism.

There’s not a single commitment yet, that I’m unhappy with. I like that in the first time in forever we’re recruiting down-state talent. If the lock-in the Ryan Baer kid from Ohio... I’m good with BB’s first O-line class. Love the two TE’s and the QB may end up being a steal. Anderson the RB is...

Joliet Catholic is a great program.. about time we staked a claim.

Giddy about this one also.. big in-state RB.. just what the doctor ordered. Put some road-graders in front of him... and off we go... real Big 10 rough & tumble football.
