The year before Lunney got to UTSA they averaged 19 points per game. His first year there that jumped to 28.6 PPG. His second season UTSA averaged 36.9 PPG. If you combine that huge improvement with his recruiting ability, this is a big time hire for the ILLINI.
Having some Texas ties won’t hurt recruiting for sure. UTSA is a close enough drive to some power northern San Antonio area programs that I would assume has to have been around them some.The year before Lunney got to UTSA they averaged 19 points per game.

Lol I'm an idiot and misread the sarcasm. It IS hard to get used to this kind of excitement about our football team!THIS hire smells, reeks, stinks of many bowl games, perhaps starting as early as next year.
Yuuuuuuuuuuk
Not used to this stuff
GO ILLINI
