Agree 100 percent!
A little off topic but that Bridge experiment was largely considered a failure. Was there anyone in football or basketball that ever successfully finished the program and was admitted into the University?
Sutton to Iowa State? I hope that is because we are looking at better LB's
Here is I what I want Santa to give this year.
COMMITMENTS from the following. First choice.
Lt/Rt Grayson Stover FL 6'6 293 just the steal of the team if we land him.
LG/Rg Darta Lee Tx 6'3 290
Lg/Rg Trevour Simms Il 6'5 332
Second choice
LT Mike Williams Al
LG/RG Mckenzie Nworah Tx 6'4 305
Lg/Rg/C Trystan Castillo Mo 6'4 280
First all high 3* or 4* in Simms case just based more on physical ability being harnassed. Next Skill postions.

Skilled presents.
Te Blake Williams Ok 6'4 220 second best steal.

Second choice
Te Matthew Gonzalez Oh
Wr Marlon Eugene Fl 6 190
Hb Darius Anderson Tx 5'9 180 not to finally.

His recruiter was Golesh and we calmed on him after Walton. I really like him alot though. His teammate Hudson would have been the real stud though
I like Zarrian Holcombe and Dylan Soehner more than Blake Williams. I don't like Griffin Palmer that much. I want 2 of those 3 and pull a Crean on Palmer
Our best wishes for all things merry and bright to you.
Jacob that makes two of us on Palmer after double checking Palmer tied or the lowest grade I gave an Illini commit this year barely making a 3* grade. I would be a happy camper if we could replace him with Soehner as our in line te. But for me and for Big Cubes passing attack I think he is looking first at some that can be a receiver.
One thing scares me about Soehner in that his tape did not show him throwing a single block. So physical an tough to bring down with the ball in his hand, yet will he pick up the fundamentals to become a competent blocker. Worse if you put him at tackle he has to perform so much better as a blocker. Now if you guys or better have seen him block in games great in camps would help to lesser degree about how he blocks.

Made the long trek to Glen Ellyn today. Johnny Caspers is my bros next door neighbor & is home for Xmas. Caspers visited Coach Hetlet and Iowa's OL coach was there. He's recruiting Brodner. Anyways, quite a coincidence, as Stanford meets Iowa in the Rose Bowl next week.
The skinny is that we have a real shot with Brodner. He's seen how we utilized Ferg and that's a big plus (Brodner is an excellent receiver). Brodner's GF is a freshman at Illinois and her parents graduated from Illinois. He's seen what happened with Dude-K and realizes he has a similar opportunity.
One other tidbit. Caspers was thisclose to being an Illini. Stanford looked to be pulling his ride (after he committed) late. Shortly before signing day, his ride came through. Otherwise, he'd have been in O&B. Future NFL-er.

Thanks for the update I just joined the ranks on Brodner as I just sw his tape he would be one heck of an addition.
By the way I am a literally on old homie. Grew up in Elmhurst moved there there around 51 or 52. So different then.

I think Palmer is weakest recruit we have had in the past classes. Similar in stature to Peter S. And Chris Jsmes
Don't get me excited. Brodner is a beast. I could see him being a lb with that speed and strength if he so chooses!
i just dont see him playing college rb...maybe a h back type position but im just not impressed....nor am i impressed with kentrail morans tape.......
but this keyon jackson kid may be undersize but he looks like the real deal!!! looks fast too for a dt
Brodner imo can play rb in the BIG 10, like you I was not overly impressed with Moran my grade was no where near a 4*.
Again like you I like Jackson he is short but I was really impressed with his tape, now he was a near 4* for me.
IMO Simms was by far the best prospect inspite a slightly higher grade I gave Moran earlier.
I like him as well but we need more Tight Ends for 2017. Him, Echard, and Griffin Palmer are not enough. I would prefer another in this class for both to redshirt and then 2 in 2017, one Juco and one freshman to get class balance a bit better
I like Simms alot and based on my posting history I am not terribly high on Moran or will be terribly heartbroken if he commits to Syracuse. I like Singletary out of Florida more even if he is a 2 star recruit. His team and the competition they face is a lot higher than southern Illinois
Frankly it was so long ago when I saw Moran tape I can only agree because while I felt I wanted to know Singletary had more speed the impression left was much deeper for DS. I agree.
