I guess Mason going to dental school and Mike Martin in Mechanical Engineering along with multiple Business students doesn't count. You are prejudging students based on a major? We are not FGCU, Virginia Commonwealth or George Mason. We are U of I, I would bet a run for the Big Ten championship would help us a bit but from what I have seen we don't need any enrollment help. I'm sure Duke doesn't waiver from championship to championship with candidates . Do you really think people will be enrolling in the Engineering, Accounting and Agriculture at U of I because our football team won the Big Ten? I think not. The University academics stand on their own.

I might even question the second check.
I like that. Good Counsel up in Olney produces a lot of good talent.
How many more can we get?
Out of curiosity, who has the Maryland connections on the staff these days?
I think we're at 25. Two enrolled early so I would say two more. One more DL and RB hopefully.
We are talking about 85 scholarship athletes vs roughly 33,000 undergrad students. 85 athletes aren't diminishing anything. A highly profitable revenue sport does more positive for the University than does 85 college athletes with a 2.0 GPA negatively impact the university.
This one is huge! I like the other commits, but people were saying this is the one we really needed. Might be our highest rated player on the recruiting board for us. We really made up for Neal being gone.
Rivals has us at 25 but that includes Kramer who is a grayshirt, and Parchman who may be sign and place. So I think potentially 4
