Illinois Football Recruiting Thread

[Illiniam1984]

We've moved way up the food chain. The next few weeks should be very interesting. Selling is a heck of a lot easier when you have good results.

It will be interesting to see which QB we can get in the portal.

Brandon Henderson with a nice ratings bump on 247. Now an 89 and #12 prospect in IL.
Looks like JUCO DB Channing Canada and WI de-commit WR Collin Dixon visiting 12/9.

This is a serious bump up in rankings.

this sounds pretty good:

This is the guy I am highest on comparative to his recruiting rankings.

This is the guy I am highest on comparative to his recruiting rankings.

I'm high on him and Hayden. Undoubtedly, at least one of the lower rated kids is gonna emerge.

Didn’t the board have an unofficial insider with EStL connections that was a somewhat regular poster?

Portal news (for both football & men's basketball) tends to always find its way to the recruiting thread, so let's stick with this thread for all things portal. Go Illini

With all the expected losses in secondary, this kid must have been buried deep on depth chart or not liked his time at Illinois.

 

[SescIllini]

I never like to see a player leave especially one that was said to be a player above above his rating out of high school. We have been fortunate with these players to include Jacas, Weatherspoon, Brown/Brown, and several others. But if players do leave because they are buried, I like to get a several impact transfers, especially those with 2 years+. We haven't been good in a while and need to maintain the momentum until the recruiting picks up. Northwestern is still beating us for instate recruits the last 3-4 years.

Absolutely! We are losing a lot of talent. The fan base will have to temper their expectations for next year when it comes to Wins and Losses on the field. Remember, to keep in mind the program IS moving in the right direction and we DO have the RIGHT Coach and Athletic Director to reach the goals we all want as fans. WE need to do our part in supporting OUR TEAM. So buy those tickets and be supportive, NO NEGATIVE NANCYS or KARENS!

GO ILLINI!
