Welcome Mr. Hightower. I look forward to seeing your first B1G touchdown!

Lol got my answer on who it was

ive been hearing someone fromhouston

 

[oNthErILL]

Wow, I just read about the offers he had coming out of high school. He chose Miami over Alabama, Clemson and USC.

Impressed with the outreach from the Miami fans on the twitters. I wish all fanbases were as supportive of outgoing transfers...yes, ours included.

If we were consistently getting ten 4* recruits a season I wouldn't mind seeing one go every once in awhile. People need to understand that these kids are just doing what they think is best for them though.

I heard a lineman from Brimfield signed last night, can that be confirmed?

His name is Brett Novak.

He's going to be a PWO. He hasn't played football in a couple of years.

Coached against this kid in basketball the past two seasons. He owned us the first time and then we got him in foul trouble the second time

Really athletic for his size, and great footwork. Surprised he didn't play football the past two seasons but then again their team only won maybe 2 or 3 games this past season so I can see why he wouldn't want to risk an injury.

This is where we need to start getting lineman by walking and build our linemen like Wisconsin does this could be a good pickup for us!

Top Priority and highest ranked target we could have reasonably gotten, Travion Ford, heading to Mizzou.

Ugh!

But we got a PWO commit from a DII school today, don't be a naysayer!

 

[TheGMan]

That's not good

 

[pvaughn8]

Feels like a pretty low ceiling for this class unless some kids are going to come out of the woodwork.

 

[illini0440]

Lovies really loves cashing those checks....as for recruiting not so much.

 

[SixthandWhite]

Not good.

 

[illinidarrin]

After some bad news, it looks like we may have some good news looking at twitter.

 

[Peoria Pipeline]

Who could Smith and crew be Ric Flairing about??

 

[redwingillini11]

There are a few people committing over the next 48 hours. None of those look like likely Illini though...

 

[moggs3]

Safe bet would be transfer

 

[oldschool51]

For years Kan St used transfers and Juco guys to build the program, i dont care how we get it done as long as we get to 6-8 wins every year

#140 OT out of HS, Assumed he wasn’t going to get playing time at MSST. More of a lateral move to me, but we’re gonna need all the help we can get on the 2021 OL.
