Illinois Football Recruiting Thread

[mhuml32]

Now three top-20 in-state prospects in this class. Could finish as high as six in best-case scenario (Elzy, Hill, Pierce).

Great addition to this class. Hopefully our on-field success this season translates to real momentum on the recruiting trail for our coaches. Let’s grab a couple more Ws this season and finish out this class strong.

Thanksgiving and Christmas have come early this year!

Huge addition with Brandon Henderson and now have 2 ESL guys in this class. Pipeline was open before with Hayden....now has been tapped and ready for business

BB just keeps amazing me One of the lowest recruits in the 2022 Class was Matthew Bailey. Two lowest recruits in our 2023 are K David Olano and P Declan Duley. Both of these guys are elite recruits at those positions.

Is there still an IHOP in Champaign Urbana?

Okay, NOW I get it.

Ya gotta talk real slow when yer explainin' this stuff to me.

This is great news. Hendersen just belongs with the Illini, with Bart, with Bielema. Huge in-state OL, what a perfect match.

would post a Training Day "this is chess not checkers" gif but don't want to get banned haha.

What a great pick up. Welcome in Henderson. I hope this young guy pancakes the heck out of all our opposing foes.

So do we know the reason for this? Is he playing in an all-star game in Jan at which he wants ro announce?

Presumably so. The All-American bowl is on Jan 7th, so he probably decides December..then announces publicly there?

Maybe he just wants to do the public 'Hat ceremony'?
