Bargy with an offer from A&M. Hopefully, that will steer him away from Minny:hurl:
I know I'm not supposed to look at those CB's, but we got some positive direction for Jahleel today. The details aren't showing but looks like the prior PSU pick flipped to and at least 1 new for us.
I heard yesterday he didn't take his scheduled visits to OSU and PSU spring games. That is a good sign
I take Jahleel to be committed. He may go somewhere else, but it seems to me that everything points to the direction of Illinois at this point.
jt cb for Phillips just tip his commitment to illini
jt cb for Phillips just tip his commitment to illini
Hopefully, Billingsley and McCray commit soon.
This is a great get. Thought that ship had sailed.
My only caveat is hopefully this isn't one of those recruits that is constantly jumping from school to school.
Don't worry, he isn't. He would've committed over a month ago, but we weren't ready to accept. Now they can all feel good about being in the O&B together
He thanks Chris James. We had a player Chris James here. So is this an Illini connection?
So did another target of ours rule us out thus opening up the spot for Thompson?
Or did Thompson simply jump the gun when he committed to Iowa state?
Just my opinion: Illinois probably wanted to wait on him with others interested. Iowa State was willing to take his acceptance now so they pushed and got his commitment. Illinois, sensing their misjudgement on him wanting to commit and his proximity to important recruits (McCray + Billingsley) and important recruiting area (CPL), realized their mistake and pushed for him to flip.
