If we start losing recruits to Iowa State we are in big trouble.

Merrick Jackson can't get into Illinois

What is the reason for this?

Academics again. The strange thing is, he went to Althoff Catholic in Belleville which is a good school. He must just really struggle in the classroom.

His grades were PRETTY bad in high school. Apparently not much better in JUCO.. either that or his high school academics got him so far behind that he can't catch up to Illinois' standards in JUCO.

With Simms and now Robinson likely to play guard I wonder if the coaching staff still sees Kurt Gavin as a guard. He seems to have the agility needed for pass protection that the other two lack.

I list Gavin as a rt on my offers chart . On my notes marked rt/lt better suited to tackle at this time due to lack of power and strength, if that helps at all.

AJ's aunt or cousin has WAY TOO much spare time on their hands

We now have coach's digits. Is that his office phone?

In my experience any 217-333-XXXX has been an official U of I phone number. So yes I think so. Hopefully he doesn't get the crazies calling!

Banks is badly under rated start him out at Cb should he not make it there he would be just as nice a fit at Fs. 3* 5.7 imo.

Interesting, Illinois has such high academic standards, then they misspell aid in the offer letter.

Is it sad that I knew there would be a misspelling in there?

Bait-and-switch.

There is also a missing period after the phone number, not to mention some inappropriate capitalization. Who's proofreading these letters?
