Who doesn't love tall WR, surprised at his low rank but think that's bunk am sure he will produce and if we are lucky get even bigger

Welcome Dominic & Trevour!

Two solid commits from two solid HS programs. Hopefully we continue to get players from both of these programs every year.

Were we hosting some guys on a visit this weekend? It's awesome yet surprising that we have two commits this quickly.

Great work by the staff. 3 kids with good upside. Really hope the Simms kid sticks. Mizzery has taken over ESL and it's good to get back in there. I- L- L !

Great day for recruiting today. WR, OL, and DL

Too bad we can't even get a full page of posts about the 3 different commits. Hopefully a good season will get people back on the football side too. Sept 4th is approaching

I know, I was thinking the same thing. Everyone said tell them when we land an instate OL and DL. Here they are and no one is here. I think the football program is growing well

He was the second best recruit so far. Losing Amani Phillips blows.

God, I hate Iowa. Based on what I've read over the years, they're the worst when it comes to negative recruiting.

Brian Ferentz is a ginormous clown.

Iowa is on the downturn... I honestly have no idea what Jones sees in Iowa, but I also wouldn't be shocked to see them bite the dust this year and have him come back to Illinois at the end of the day.

Grass isn't always greener on the other side.

Beyond "pot calling the kettle black" in this case.

If Kirk Ferentz didn't have such a poorly structured contract from the University's standpoint, they'd have cleaned house.

Maybe it feels like home and the staff feels like family ;).
