Emotions are so high, I hope people realize this will be a grind for a couple of years before we see a lot of things come together.

sounds like he busted out in the last 2 camps!
Yessir! It's been huge that he slimmed down 30 or so pounds.

Not any program changers but it is obviously "cool" to go to Illinois again if you are an in state player. Kudos to Lovie and staff for changing the culture so quickly pretty unreal.
NIU, Wyoming, and Illinois State all offered this week

Mondesir is 6'2 210 ran 4.5 40 at camps. Plays DL for his HS. Clearly under the radar type situation. Long rangy fast. Love these taller longer LBs. Justice Williams, Julian Jones, Abercrombie, Hanson, Ayo Sho, Mondesir, ALL taller longer LB prospects, hopefully add in that kid from Marist, Awodiorian(sp)

Big Mo....keep em coming. 
He fits Lovie's system to a t. If he can bulk up to 230-235 without losing speed, he'll be a damn good olb.
Awordian put out his top 4, and they go as - Illinois, Yale, Duke, and Vandy. He's taking his academics seriously. We can definitely win this, but it may all come down to what field he wants a degree in.

I am pumped (and not surprised) to see that we made Micah Awodiran's top four. I finally just took the time to check out his film...this is my favorite LB prospect in a long time. Fast, explosive, smart, plays with an edge... if you haven't already, do yourself a favor and check this out: http://www.hudl.com/athlete/2681270/highlights/316777415
Seriously, if we can land him our LB corps is stacking up to be sweet in a few years. I would love to have him and Dele Harding on the same squad. Here's to hoping

Building steam, very encouraging. Get Awodiran and Olidapo, and that's our best in-state haul in a looong time. And, oh yeah, it's June.
These satellite camps have been a great way to spread the word and get our staff and brand out there. It's going to be fun to see the recruiting classes our staff puts together. A darn shame Lovie can't recruit. /s
Finally, thank you, Josh Whitman!
