Henning to Northwestern… Gut feel is we weren’t in all out pursuit on him… What’s the latest with Zakhari Franklin?
How teams like ours get better is developing 3 star players into 4 star players. JJ Watt was barely a 2 star player. He will be in the Hall of Fame most likely. That is why Wisky succeeds. We have the coaches and the players to have 2 and 3 star players become 4 star. If i recall, Devon Witherspoon was a walk on and now he was the 5th player taken in the draft. I believe we will win the west with 9-10 wins. Citrus Bowl unless we win the conference championship game. Thats the Bar.
Didnt see a real place for Henning to upgrade us enough to offer him.
Made a freshmen AA team (1st team), so he's gotta be pretty good. 3 seasons of eligibility left

I thought I heard that on a broadcast his freshman year but I could be mistaken but the point is that he was unrated but here he is the 5th pick of the draft. BB has a track record of getting the most out of his players. He has already accomplished that here. TDV in just one year here got a contract with the Giants.I don't recall Devon being a walk on, but he wasn't rated coming out of high school.
Here's the post with the new commit alert for Witherspoon: https://www.illinoisloyalty.com/post/illini-football-2019.25018/page-5#post-1472781
Also some posts further down about Sydney Brown's brother transferring to us.
Can someone articulate this case that we have an overloaded WR room? Because I really don't see it.Didnt see a real place for Henning to upgrade us enough to offer him.
I think the idea is that Henning would have to compete with IW for snaps (both are slot guys), so it didn't make much sense for us (or him)Can someone articulate this case that we have an overloaded WR room? Because I really don't see it.
We have only a few spots left and it's less that we have an overloaded WR room and more that we have pressing needs at other positions.Can someone articulate this case that we have an overloaded WR room? Because I really don't see it.
THAT makes far more sense to me.We have only a few spots left and it's less that we have an overloaded WR room and more that we have pressing needs at other positions.
#1 by far: Center
#2: DB
#3: DL

Also TE
I fear lack of an established 3 down RB will hurt us offensively like having a lack of veteran PG for the ball team.I'd argue #2 should be a top RB. Of the key positions, it's the biggest question mark on the team and our sell should be great (one of the best OLs, Chase Brown production, B1G, unproven passing QB, etc.)
LOL I don't know why I was thinking he was a 24 commit.Wilcher is already on campus; was a '23 commit who enrolled early
In the case of Henning, it is more because it is a small receiver that is most likely a slot guy. Illinois need a big WRs that most likely play on the outside more than another small slot guy with IW, Beatty, and Wilcher. Really is more of a square peg in a round hole.Can someone articulate this case that we have an overloaded WR room? Because I really don't see it.

Not directed to one person, despite the reply, but do you think he knows that's not the stadium as it is now?God, can we PLEASE get that horseshoe renovation?!
