He's a stud. Will have offers from everyone (already does pretty much)
Tate has some big time offers already. Would hope he would want to come back home to Champaign.
Courtesy visit or legit interest?
Says dream school is tOSU and has received offer there.
Was going off of this.

Carnell Tate 2023 Wide Receiver Ohio State
Carnell Tate - 5 Star Wide receiver for Ohio State on DottingTheEyes
Ranked #46 or so.......good enough for say 5th string as tOSU?
We’ll probably have an actual chance with him when he goes to OSU for a year, gets buried on depth chart, and looks at us as a good place to transfer. Lol.

At this point I certainly agree, but in my dreams I hope for the day we don't need to bring in transfers to fill massive holes in our roster.

Mike White says hi.
"Wilson and this year's much-heralded quarterback, Tony Eason, are both products of California's extensive junior-college system and were among the four transfer students whom White recruited his first year. The following season he brought in 18; the next year he recruited 17 more, along with 20 four-year players. In the future, White says, the emphasis will be on recruiting four-year men." NYT link
No, but I wish I'd been invited. Crappie fishing down there is just about the best there is anywhere. I need to go crappie fishing down at Rend or Egypt next month. Thanks for the reminder. Who was the player of interest?

Austin Brown of Johnston City according to 247. Article is premium. Must be a high priority to make the trip. WDWS said the local paper covered it, but I can’t find anything.
Sunday to today is a long quiet spell on here. So I went to 247 and did that filter button on Visits. Can't comment on reliability, but the OVs they show for us come June are impressive. 7 OVs for 6/4, 4 for 6/11, & 3 for 6/18. Three of these are guys that have committed elsewhere already, so we'll see what materializes. Four of our commits to have their OVs 6/4 as well, with a couple that seem to be making recruiting pushes themselves.

Ked Prince likes our chances to flip some of these kids. (Surprise, surprise) It will be a huge month for football and will give us a good idea of how quick this staff can turn the corner. I‘m optimistic.
Saw on Twitter that Illini offered Tulsa transfer Akayleb Evans. He’s a 6-2, 190 lb DB.
Barker and Ford will be great host’s for Riley-Ducker!
I hope we can lock him in. We can have a solid secondary. Only issue we have is depth. Definitely have a lot of potential on roster and incoming freshmen.
This is something that has been happening for decades in football and basketball. And no, Illinois is not exempt.

Welcome to college football's new 'wild, wild West': The era of tampering
Tampering officially arrived in college football this offseason, leaving coaches to both lament the current state of the game -- and try to keep up.

He seems to be well regarded. Looks like much more than a depth piece
Not surprising really. Cheating etc, seems to be rewarded and encouraged these days.This is something that has been happening for decades in football and basketball. And no, Illinois is not exempt.
