I wholeheartedly share your sentiment, but the BIG's divisions are gonna be history soon. All the more reason that making a strong upward surge now is great timing.

perfect scenario for hosting recruits...love it
Are we re-recruiting Harkless?
Looks like the only one of these 3 who has any offers thus far is Lovett with offer from TN and I think it said Akron. Illini haven’t offered any of them. Interesting that on Jostes’ 24/7 page, he’s listed as 6-6, 260 TE (not OL) and under athletic background he is listed at 6-6, 230. Kid seems to be getting bigger. I pretty certain this is the second game Elmore has visited.
Pilof, who is mentioned in post after the quoted one here, has offers from Penn St, WI, Iowa Stare and someone else I can’t remember. He has a crystal ball for WI, but not sure how recent.
Great seeing the visitor list growing for this game. I’m sure we’ll see more. I think I saw mention of a couple other OL who will be visiting too.
Edit: Pretty certain the two OL I mentioned are ones Joel just posted about.
he committed to Auburn, but we'd be crazy not to try given our lack of DL recruits. Maybe if they become a big enough dumpster fire he'd decommit from them too, but no idea if he still has any interest in us.

No inside info, but I'd be shocked if we've given up on Harkless. Harslin is very likely to get canned.
side note: the attention and buzz we've been getting is great. hopefully, that translates to recruiting. I think it will.
The attention and buzz translate into attention for sure. Only performance is going to yield results. So much riding on the next two weeks.

Sounds like we're getting a visit from DL Jamel Howard ('23), Wisconsin commit.

The recruiting momentum and successes in both BB and FB is such a refreshing breathe of fresh air into what had become stagnant and downright demoralizing just a few years back .......BU and BB and their respective staffs should be commended for their diligence and hard work that is paying off and creating such a nationwide buzz that gives me all those warm and fuzzy bunny feelings......I am addicted to the upward growth and hope it continues forever and a day...................
No one can say either program is afflicted with the Lazy Lovies..............................All I can say is GO ILLINI !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ty Myers Jr as in Ty Myers who got a pick 6 off Craig Krenzel to secure the win at OSU in 2001? I was sitting in a seat behind the endzone that he ran into and thoroughly enjoyed listening to OSU fans complain about an Ohio native beating them the rest of the day. (I tried finding a clip on youtube but it seems that game has been scrubbed from the record)
Why don't we send a bunch of Illini-clad assistant coaches to Madison to see if we can get their qb others to transfer ? Should be easy pickins, right?/s
BB’s after game call?

Mom! The Meatloaf!
He's from Paducah. I'm sure Pru has some ways to persuade him to the orange and blue.

Noticed a lot of these guys that have been recently listed as visiting are a little off the radar recruits (bar Hill of course). Most of them are not rated yet by 247 (granted theres a few 24's and 25's so that might just be an early thing. Notable items from looking into them on 247:
(2023) Garner - a few MAC offers so far (Akron, Ball State, CMU), plus FAU and Eastern Illinois
(2024) Daniels - A couple of FCS offers
(2024) Elmore - Interest listed from us, Kentucky, Miami (OH) and Ohio U but no offers listed
(2025) Hoitink - Offer from Penn
(2025) Lovett - Offers listed from Akron and Tennessee (!)
(2024) Jostes - Interest from Illinois, Kansas, Notre Dame but no listed offers
(2024) Pilof - 3* 87 rating from 247 (no composite rating yet) Offers listed from Iowa State, Penn State, Rutgers, Wisconsin
