That should be "Dre Brown ... speedster!" Sorry. for screw-up.

Sounds like he is a current commit instead of undecided a Minny projection

Ultimately, he feels similarly about both universities, which is a bit surprising because the coaching staffs are very different. But he really likes what our coaches are offering and I would argue that our family atmosphere is much more family-oriented than most programs. Based on what I hear from outside the program, I think he is currently a strong lean toward Illinois. But as we saw with Mookie, anything can change.

So who committed this weekend, if I may ask?

I've heard from a non-Illinois assistant AD that it seems like there are 4 recruits coming off the board. I don't know if that is true or not (and I definitely do not know who). If I were to guess there are some that will come out of the weekend and commit and some that have announcement dates already set (i.e., the silent verbal), which will not change. But I am not inside the program. @illini0440 or maybe @Title know more specifics.

The 3 CBs We got yesterday should be a pretty good indication of how the weekend went....also if a certain D lineman moves his commitment date up that is extremely positive for us.

As usual, thanks for the info. Am curious what the staffs' read is on Pogorelc and the Texas DL? Assuming Sparks & Tyler are in, along with Griifin, does that mean no ride for Pogorelc? Optimally, how many OL are we taking in this class and what's the desired breakdown between tackles and interior linemen. Pardon my deluge.

Staff feels good about Pogorelc and Sawyer Welch....still some competition with both of them but they feel they have done a good job. I don’t know how many they plan on taking but can you ever have to many lineman? injury and attrition are almost a guarantees unfortunately. My guess is they would take more projected tackles in this class with the interior having a little more depth for the next couple years.

he visited Illinois a week after he committed to Tennessee with his whole family
Not sure if it makes a difference, but he just got an Alabama offer 2 weeks after he committed to Tennessee as well. A lot of time left for him to change his mind

I believe that ship has sailed for us.
