Illinois Football Recruiting Thread

[Joel Goodson]

Great! Staff is getting traction. Who knows what the next few weeks will bring?

 

[FT35]

The staff may have offered Kendrick late but they are really pulling out all the stops to get him.

 

[Joel Goodson]

My bad, thought K Green had committed. Good signs, nevertheless.

Another CB prediction for Carney this morning. When does he have to enroll again for early enrollment?

Guessing by beginning of the semester (or very shortly thereafter).

A 2018 defense with Oladipo DE, Milan DT, Green DT, Carney DL on the line and Abercrombie OLB, Philips MLB, and Harding OLB. That is a fast and athletic front seven. Need to lock down Green and Carney.

Really want Kendrick Green and Owen Carney. I assume Carney starts from day 1 if he chooses the Illini

Not sure that's a given, they are also looking at a JC DE. And there's been some talk that Odenigbo could move to DE. He should get playing time for sure.

If Tito could be as good as his brother at DE, that'd be great

Probably or at the worst he would probably be in the rotation. There is even some speculation that Brandon Roberts could be on the depth chart.

Not to get off topic, but what is the deal with Sean Adesanya? He hasn't played a down yet. Is he injured?

Kevaughn Dingle

This is old news but WR Kevaughn Dingle is no longer committed to Miami. He was supposed to visit for the Iowa game but said he would reschedule for a January visit:

Not sure. I just saw the CB on 247.

Feel like I haven't heard his name? How does he project? What's his scouting report?

 

[BirdDog9048]

There's only been one CB pick, and it was 3 days ago for Illinois. Seems promising.

I just read an article that says 6:30 pm CT for Watkins.

 

[STLINI]

Anybody hear much about Bobby Roundtree lately? Given our dire need for DE's, he's one on my list that I really want. Scout and 247 had changed recently. Finishing out with him and Carney would make me feel better about DE.

 

[FT35]

I just read an article that says 6:30 pm CT for Watkins.

Thank you.
