I agree with you that it isn't happening.
But. I was just wanted to tell everyone what an 'expert' was predicting.
Of course his recruitment has been strange so nothing would shock me to much.
Roberson, Debose, Woods, Pate, Williams, another DB and Punter and I am thrilled with this class

Lovie and staff continue to impress
I'm pretty thrilled with the class as is, adding Roberson and DeBose would completely exceed expectations for me, everything else after those 2 and a punter is cherry on the top for me, personally. Really impressed so far.
Haha
that is literally the most sober I have ever seen Holgerson. Must not have had a designated driver that night
Another solid pickup! Keep it going!

Does he even have an offer?
Yes

This is a guy I'd really like to flip. Not very explosive but he's got great size and he's someone who could potentially move over and a 3 technique DT. I'm glad he's visiting.

We've given up on Jeff Thomas right? He's Miami bound, right?

We will recruit him to signing day.
You never know how it ends up even if he commits somewhere else before.
No, Illinois continues to recruit him.
Not sure if we can sneak into the top 30, but we should definitely be a top 40 class this year. Amazing accomplishment for a group of coaches, who had about 10 months to put together this class.

It feels like bizarro world that I'm so excited for the way football is trending and the opposite for basketball.
Regardless, I'm super pumped that one sport is moving in the right direction again!
Love Lovie!

It really is great to be excited about football again.

"Before his visit this weekend, DeBose and his family will host Pittsburgh’s Narduzzi and Missouri’s coaching staff for in-home visits. Illinois’ Smith was supposed to visit on Tuesday, but for some reason was unable to make it. DeBose still plans on announcing his commitment on Feb. 3, two days after National Signing Day."

It'd be nice symbolically, but it appears 2-5 in the division will be split by hairs, so the talent difference wouldn't be anything noteworthy over those behind us. (Not to discount anything, just emphasizing that 2 or 5 should not be used to boost or knock our class in any major manner without noting the difference in points)

It is really close, and Iowa's recruiting class is hurt by low numbers. I prefer to use Rivals recruiting rankings as it seems to be the one with the lowest impact on number of commitments.
#31 - Nebraska
#41 - Illinois
#43 - Wisconsin
#45 - Rutgers
#47 - Minnesota
#48 - Northwestern
#54 - Iowa
#56 - Indiana
#68 - Purdue
This can be said about every team, but a re-ranking of Nate Hobbs (as Scout did) and Alex Palczewski (rating hasn't changed since beginning of the year, I believe) would likely put Illinois closer to the mid-30's (around Missouri, Oregon, and Texas).
