I can live with a QB named Brock.

My wife has often remarked if some parents just pick names that sound like a perfect name for player.
This definitely fits.
That’s 100% not the same kid. That’s the DB from Florida in the bottom picture.
Edit- Sorry I had not seen the comments correcting this. Disregard

Kid appears to be a stud. Nebraska and Arkansas offers in addition to ours. 1,120 yds/24 tds rushing and 24 tkls 3 int on defense as a freshman in 1st season of varsirty.
Newcomer of the year: Dierre Hill Jr., freshman, Vashon
The 6-foot and 177-pound Hill made a scintillating varsity debut as he rushed for 1,120 yards and scored 24 total touchdowns to help the Wolverines advance to the Class 4
That is really impressive for a high school freshman. I need to find some film.Kid appears to be a stud. Nebraska and Arkansas offers in addition to ours. 1,120 yds/24 tds rushing and 24 tkls 3 int on defense as a freshman in 1st season of varsirty.

Met Coach Lunney in the Memphis Airport yesterday - he had an Illinois shirt on and I said ILL - he looked at me funny and then said INI and apologized for taking so long to respond as he was new to the University. We talked football for 10 minutes while waiting for a plane - seems like a stand up guy and will represent our beloved school well.
As long as he doesn't say "ILLA-NOISE" then we are fine. Oh and also don't punt on 4th and 1 from the opponents 40.
And please don’t use OSKEE as an acronym.

I'm surprised Coach B hasn't already ingrained I L L . . . I N I into Coach Lunney.

Yes…….But part of me wonders if this endears Kelly to recruits by being a bit goofy and humble if indeed he is a serious prick like he seems to be. I’d be curious the banter that goes on with the recruits as he does those. They could be laughing the whole time. It could even become his campy “thing” that he does. Don’t get me wrong - I think he looks like a total fool. But he’ll take it all day long if it helps him to get talent from his target audience.
I couldn't even watch the whole video. I doubt this is endearing. The recruits will still go to LSU for the same reasons they always have
Their $uperior $chola$tic$?
Not saying I disagree but we are in a whole different galaxy in terms of football recruiting. If we ever get to a point where we need Brett to do what it takes to get the athletes LSU brings in I hope he's ready to Tiktok honestly lol

Tied for most absurd move by an Illini HC ever. (Each of the Top 10 belonged to TB.)
