Hi read/react ability appears to be top notch. Exactly the kind of LB I think we need and seems like he would be exactly Nickerson's kind of player.

And he went to Detroit Cass Tech. Powerhouse program. One of the top three in the Midwest

New Joliet Catholic coach is an Illini. Hopefully it helps next time they have a power5 prospect:
Jaworski, who will be be 33 next month, played football and baseball at JCA, graduating in 2002. He attended Illinois, where he served as the football team manager until graduating in 2005.

Seems Lovie was in to see Quran Hafiz, a CB from Florida.

He has a very nice offer list.

Del'shawn Phillips says he is still committed to Arizona but is visiting this weekend:

I wonder if Johnson is coming with him for an official visit even though he just committed? We could have quite a number of recruits/commits on campus this weekend.

Hopefully Lawson is tight with Phillips. i really like this guy.
I had to vote Cam Akers. I saw the game in person. Check out the game highlights. We offered back in the summer I believe, but I don't think there was any real interest from him. The kid is unreal.

OSU or FSU. The class OSU is putting together is insane

I like this trend.
We need D-line guys so badly, and Foster is solid. REALLY hope we land him.
from what I watched this kid would make a perfect strong'front side tackle he is a big dude he wouldn't have to play for at least 2 years could be a monster by then
Sounds like Iowa leads, but if we kill it with the official, I think we have a real shot.

Also of note on that link is the new evaluation of Alex Palczewski. They now have him as a three star and second-best tackle in Illinois.

What has me optimistic is that his twitter pic is him and Lovie
Joel Goodson
- ties will be resolved
Road grader size. Given 15 months of S&C, training table and D1 coaching, he could be a monster.
He picked up a 2nd offer from Vandy.

Yeah definitely like him, too. Great size. Could be a monster.
I saw the this on Twitter and tweeted we need to get rid of the U (Miami) wristband and get him a U of I wristband. He later tweeted back to me he liked me tweet.
247Sports Target List
Excellent resource to track our targets (look for the recruits marked "warm" or "warmer").
Our average player rating for the current roster is 82.30. You can see from the above list that the vast majority of the players we're recruiting have a higher rating.
Raising our average player rating by just 2-3 points would give us a talent level comparable to teams ranked in the 30s and 40s (teams like Wisconsin) and should make us much more competitive. I fully believe that Lovie can do that and more.

This one hurts - a 4 star DT in PEORIA.
BillMo I think your right he is a monster a zombie at least when I watched his tape from junior year about 4-5 months ago. That said like the the commits and others that have mutual interest I will to go back and watch their senior tapes.
Now by zombie I am referring to his lack of quickness heavy legged movement.
Always surprises on those good an bad. So my tune might change but as of now, No.
I would take Palczewski before 365 days of the and plus one on leap year

Have you had a chance to look at the tapes for Dwayne Lawson and Del'shawn Phillips? Sorry if I missed it, but I'd love to read your thoughts on them. Thanks!
