[QUOTE="Twangers, post: 1479237, member: 746185"] Not sure Tennessee is the best example but in general, keying in on specific recruits is not the best route. Recruiting is too fluid and there are too many options to try and cater to every individual HS senior. The reason I say generally is that this doesn’t apply to where we are right now. Right now, we’re only 13 odd weeks away from the early signing date. We’re not in the 1st quarter with lots of time to make up ground, it’s the 4th quarter and if we want to score we need to score now. The number of high end, 4* type talents that are still available to us or are legitimate Illinois flip candidates is in the single digits. This means we have little choice but to focus on the needs of the individuals. Otherwise, they sign somewhere else and we have no backup option of equivalent talent. [/QUOTE]
