Holy cow... was the AD of Edwardsville running the show down there? That guy wouldn't shut up!
Having lived in Austin for 5+ years, I completely understand the draw. It's unbelievable down there on game days, even when they're "bad."
Staff better have a lot more Sydney Brown types in the fold cause even if we land V.Brown, there are a lot of open slots to fill and MOST public knowledge prospects are off the table.
I don’t see this class being as good as last years. But I hope we found some pieces at least to pair with last years class.
BREAKING: Florida cornerback Kerby Joseph tells #illini Inquirer he has signed with Illinois. He got the go-ahead from Illinois this afternoon.
This guy had an offer from the South Dakota School of Mines. That's gotta be good then, right?
And Mississippi State.
Wow, we let a kid commit then it goes silent, we now miss on a handful of kids we were hoping we had a chance with, we now go back with our tail tucked between our legs and say hey Kirby, sooooooo ya still want to come here? Yeah ?, okay sign this.
This recruiting cycle has NOT been handled well.
Werner reporting that Kerby Joseph has signed. (Edit: And he just hit the list at FightingIllini.com in the last second or so.)

"When I tried to commit, they said they were kind of messed up with numbers, so they had to see what was going on with the scholarships," Joseph said. "When they told me that, I was scared like I wouldn't be able to go to the college I wanted to go to. But I just prayed over it with my family. The next day after that I knew I was going to sign. But I got the text right after school that I was able to sign. It feels amazing. I'm still jumping around."
