That is huge getting Henderson in early as well. Feel like this young man is super athletic and has a ton of upside to be real special.

Watching in person and tape of Henderson play LT and McVay play RT reminds me of the first time I saw the King "Twin Towers" in the 90s. Rashard Griffith at 7 ft and Thomas Hamilton at 7'2". It is just something you don't forget watching...

2023 class now at 10 top-1000 guys (including Patterson, who's ranking would put him ~815). Get Elzy and that number goes to 11. For comparison, last year's class had 8 top-1000 guys, including Crisler, who's ranking would put him ~890. Last year's class was ranked 63rd with 26 enrollees. This year's class is currently ranked 45th with 21 commits. 33rd ranked class with Elzy.


26th ranked class with Elzy and Hill.

If the kid was always going to go where Walters was … Not much we can do 🤷🏻‍♂️
honestly this is the take. even if the carousel didn't go how it did this year and Walters stayed another year before taking a HC position somewhere, we'd have to worry about him bringing whatever players/commits with him next year. Hopefully BB/Henry have the pull with him, but we will see.

It’s going to be close between Purdue and Illinois but I think he will end up choosing Purdue. He just seems to be their type of player. Hope I’m wrong.

In the spirit of today's college sports - buy him out.
I'm still naive and living in the past. This thought never even crossed my mind.

But it's actually a great idea! Let's use Purdue as a test case, prior to backing up the Brinks truck for the new QB.
