Would love to see Valentine commit.

Would have thought Hollinger would be committed by now.

 

[Illiniam1984]

Getting warmer!!!

Would have thought Hollinger would be committed by now.

Hot take: they are waiting to take his commitment until after the next week’s commitment decisions have concluded. If enough of them break Illinois’ way, they’ll say they don’t have room for him.

 

[PrideOfGreenSt]

Figure Knight is going to a Florida school, haven’t heard much buzz here about his decision.

 

[logjam]

We'll know at 3, I heard.

I know that’s how the big boys do it; and getting to that level is a good problem to have….but man, isn’t that kinda:

PS: It was said in the old thread that Tim Beckman was an empty track suit. This is simply unfair and untrue. There were at least 2 or 3 cans of off-brand snuff in those pockets.

 

[BretMyBeachHouse]

No commits for like 36 hours.

I'm done with this staff.

[Illiniam1984]

All medium interest though.

 

[Illiniam1984]

Never really had much of a shot. Movin' on.

 

[mhuml32]

Tough beat with him being the most heralded secondary recruit. Likely means Henry will need to prove the success is maintained with the defensive staff to land guys like Knight.

Yeah, I have no expectation of walking into Florida and taking a player the instate big dogs want, but losing an instate guy to Kansas is strange, for football at least. But the good and bad thing with football is it's not over until signing day. So we may lose a commitment ot two, but we also may flip some.
