Depends on your definition of flipping out...
At the moment we have two commits, Griffin Moore, a 3* TE from Bloomington and Marquez Beason, a high 4* ATH from Texas, likely to play CB for us. Beason is the 4th highest recruit we've gotten in the "rankings era" going by 247's composite ranking system. Using Robert from IlliniBoards method of translating the relative rank of a football recruit vs a basketball recruit, landing Beason is roughly similar to landing the number 8 basketball recruit in the nation.
On Friday, Isaiah Williams is likely to announce his college choice, with Illinois seen as one of the front-runners. He's a 5* ATH that we are recruiting as a QB. He plays at the high school that Cory Patterson, our new TE coach, most recently coached at, and has a bevy of talented teammates that could potentially be watching his decision.
On top of all of that, Beason has been heavily promoting the Illini on twitter to numerous high ranking recruits, and we're making in-roads with a trio of kids from Phillips Academy in Chicago, including a 4* TE, a 3* WR, and a 3* CB.
Landing Williams on top of Beason would put us in some truly uncharted territory as a program, and would give us a ton of momentum to put together a monster of a class.
If I've missed anything or gotten anything wrong, someone feel free to chime in.
