I loved Jackson tape. I have been meaning to run a list of the kids I really like including the highly imo underrated guys.
I mentioned Azunna well Kenyon Jackson cut from the same mold (??? 6 187 Azunna and 6 290-295 Jackson) hell ya.
Out of Ar 3tech/nt (imo nt)
Vvg-ex power, st/ vvg sp, qu, burst, feet, low get and fast get off that he normally keeps low. Gets the shoulder of the olineman defeating them especially when in a double team against. VV aggressive, non stop motor, nasty, vv big hitter, should I go on. In except for things like beating a double team thou Azunna did it wants in the box they read very much alike. He might remind you off a guy draft to two years ago. Know I am not saying he I all that but he looks good folks.
He rated a near 4 star from me and I may change that but I am being waring of buyer. 3* 5.75 rating the same I gave to Mikey when I compared him to a pro.
I will see if I can get the time to do the list sometime this week.

I am amazed that the admissions thing continues to reappear as an excuse here. I can without question say that the UI OAR is as lenient as nearly everyone in the B1G. There is a group at the top that will manage to admit just about anyone and Illinois isn't that bad, but Jesus H, blaming admissions is an urban legend akin to Rennie dunking on Shaq. It's just not frigging true....trust me, I know!

And yet nearly all professionals that report on a daily basis regarding the football team file multiple stories or responses on forums report that multiple times a year. AMAZING how stupid they must feel.

Lol I interpreted your incomprehensible post as pure excitement on your part and that is a good enough stamp of approval for me. Hopefully the Illini can get a commit before he blows up on the recruiting scene and the big dogs start offering.

Seen less tape on the defensive side so plenty I have not seen on both sides or the ball. But something to chew on .:eek:

Calibear I see you liked Xavior Motley. Did you happen to watch tape of his twin, Ilyaas? They recently committed to Ohio in order to play together (Illinois never offered Ilyaas).

Qu, glad to see you're still around. Haven't heard from you in awhile. Have you been hearing anything about possible commits?

I like your optimism Cali, but I don't think there's much hope for the DB's on your list & we're recruiting Mueller as an OL. Some defensive players to add to your list that I know we've been in close contact with:

DL K. McLaurin TX
DL E. Camara juco
LB T. Walton MI
DB A. Whitner juco
DB D. Malone FL
DB D Hylton FL
DB C. Williams TX

Have you evaluated any?

No I have not found tape on them some just did not come across any others probably there but lack a lot of time to look.
I am aware about Mueller but with the lack of d-lineman still open already offered I list Mueller as a 3tech , because I think he might be able to play it. Biggest concern there was needing a better burst. But might have a better temperament for ot.

Still don't understand how we have landed/retained 11 commitments amidst the everlasting controversy post-SC and with the fact that Beckman is coaching with no contracted future here. Really impressive.

Exactly. Maybe they can do double duty and recruit for basketball as well.;)

Welcome Kenyon! I will say that is an impressive video he has. I'm really shocked at only one offer. May be a big find for the ILLINI.
