Illinois Football Recruiting Thread

[KingWolf11]

I know Ayo is busy with his season but I can't imagine how fulfilling it is to hear big time in state kids say he made it cool to stay home.

He wanted to do exactly that and to see it even cross over to football recruiting is pretty amazing.

It is so great to feel optimistic again.
Sorry if this has been mentioned, but why is he on crutches?

You can hear straight it from his mouth:

He had a small foot surgery. No one is super worried. He'll be back up to full speed in a month or two

Werner and Trieu gave CBs to us on a LB prospect from ESL

 

[illinibuck11]

Yes, I remember posters giving him hi praise. I was looking at the top prospects for the state of IL on the 247 site, and ESL and the Metro area has quite a few kids on there. I was just wondering if we've been able to make up much ground in that area. Hate to say it, but it seems like Mizzou had a pretty good run through there.

Henderson the OLineman looks promising, and Hayden the LB seems like a lock.

Getting two ESTL guys who have multiple P5 offers elsewhere would be refreshing.

 

[illinibuck11]

Very refreshing. Was hoping the Black Cat hire would help us get in on these guys even more. Always felt Sunkett pushed more towards Mizzou.

Details man. I feel like this is something that BB and staff stresses to the current players. Can’t be too cool and not help make those recruits feel special.

 

[suburbanILLINI]

Another CB for Hayden; this one from Easterling

Would be awesome to see another commit coming out of the weekend! Just a friendly reminder that the results may not show on the field this year, but this staff is pushing all the right buttons. I absolutely love their approach and work ethic.

Totally agree, love the in state push .

He will continue to get some criticism for his in game coaching. Every coach does to some extent. But the man is fully engaged as our leader and it’s a refreshing change!
