Yeah Patterson to VT. We were late to the party anyway.
If anything we were first to the party, and then left the party early. We didn't seem to be pursuing him as hard as our other targets, or as other schools.

I'm not a huge fan of Patterson. Well the film I've seen of him. It's like 90% running 10% passing.
The prototype QB it seems they are looking for is a duel threat but maybe more throwing and less running/when necessary.
So an athlete at QB? Yes. But to me Patterson is strictly an option QB. With minimal throwing capacity.
Taylor and Elby look like "passers who can also run" not "a runner who can pass a little"
Just my 2 cents.
2018 Carterville,IL Tight End Luke Ford plans to visit Illinois March 10th along w many other big time Power5 schools. Arkansas seems like illini's biggest competitor, he plans visit there March 13th. His offers are likely only beginning and he's a must get for Lovie if Illinois is truly going to set the tone on Our State.
I would rank him similar in importance to guys in that category like Coran Taylor & D O'Rourke. Those guys will be key to this classes' foundation. Anything in addition to that foundation, ie. Houston Griffith, Verdis Brown, Ronnie Perkins, Trevor Trout, etc puts this class over the top & ready to compete at a high level immediately.
To spur a little conversation...
What will be the positional breakdown for the 2018 recruiting class? Let's assume a class between 16-18 recruits.
With Luke Ford's offer list, it would be an absolute coup if he came here. Hope the staff is up to the challenge, but I am not optimistic about that one.
Yup think he ends up in SEC or Oklahoma

Nina Baloun, one of the recruiting assistants who was a holdover from the Beckman/Cubit regimes, is leaving for a similar gig at Houston
Still wondering how they're going to fill Sternquist's position
There is a rumor that it is already filled but needs to wait until April 1st to be officially announced. After the 10th assistant is announced and the back channel connections can be officially confirmed
They're promoting from within.Still wondering how they're going to fill Sternquist's position
Mike Jones has just been named the new head football coach St Louis U High, a school that used to send us a ton of athletes.
Who is Mike Jones you might ask? He was the guy who made "the tackle" in SB 34 to give the Rams the win over Tennessee. For most of his career in St louis his defensive coordinator was some guy named Lovie.
It can't hurt.
