Illinois Football Recruiting Thread
- Status
Speaking of East St. Louis....2 seasons ago they lost to O’Fallon IL. I coach AAU HS Hoops and know very little about football. One of the best O’Fallon players also plays AAU hoops....Keith Randolph’s little brother Kaleb. I was told by coaches in the know that O’Fallon’s Kaleb Randolph was the main reason they beat ESL that season. They said he blew up everything they tried to do.....I’ve seen the kid play hoops and he’s a heck of an athlete, I wonder if he could be a D’Marco Farr type player...undersized but a ton of heart and smarts who plays bigger than his size....O’Fallon beat one of the best teams in St. Louis last weekend. The staff should check out little Randolph....
Sick run from former Illini recruit from IL
And to think he entered the transfer portal at one point...

Dedicated Business Unit?
Da Best University?
Karriem and Hill are two of the highest recruits for the 2023 class left on the board. Hill has visited already and glad to see Karriem is coming for this game. Look at his twitter, "Prime Time."

Good. They should be, especially after Rico Jackson decommitted
speaking of de-commits, Terrell Jones, 2022 DL recruit that originally committed to us before bailing, will be visiting us this weekend with his Cavaliers (if he dresses, no idea about that). I'd be feeling pretty great about recruiting if we ended up holding onto our verbal DL commits. In addition to Jones, Brian Allen would have been our highest rated recruit last class and of course there's Harkless this year. need to find a way to sign those guys up front.
Looks like it is trending that way.

I know nothing about this guy, but it's hard to get excited about big footing Western Kentucky. Then again, Perry came from South Carolina State, so who knows?
Mostly agree but didn't we flip Nate Hobbs from Western Kentucky so there's that i guess.
Also, lets not forget Nate Hobbs was a 3 Star. You just never know sometimes.
Werner with a CB yesterday for Declan Duley. "Duly noted" sounds like a nifty expression for a lengthy punt coming to rest inside the ten (if in Illini uniform of course).
Can't wait for the ensuing pickup truck NIL offer battle to unfold......
This is going to be the most obvious comment, but many 17/18 year olds still have a lot of room to grow. Most just stopped growing height-wise and need to fill out their frame little alone mental development.
Needless to say Iowa, Wisconsin, NW, Iowa State have shown you can take kids and develop them into pro-football players and high levels of program success.
