Illinois Football Recruiting Thread

[TentakilRex]

Recruiting is fluid…We’ll be fine.

My take on Trey Petty is exactly the same as my take on Cal Swanson:

I will believe we've unearthed a gem to exactly the extent we end up having trouble securing his signature due to outside competition.

This is a good sign!

Not panicked yet.

Coaches evaluations leading to offers > stars

Definitely intriguing usage of offer photo

Ole Miss has 26 offers out to QBs this year. Mercy.

Ole Miss has 26 offers out to QBs this year. Mercy.

In that case I would be more concerned if they hadn't offered him

Extremely wild to think Illinois has a chance to sign a HS QB prep recruit from Mississippi that has standing offers from Ole Miss and Mississippi State.

Talk of casting a wider net.

I'm like Swanson a lot. He has size, has escape capabilities, fast, and has an arm. He just has to put it all together at this level.

I'm sure it's going to be a battle to keep Petty based on his two home state SEC schools increasing their interest. These are the battles you need to be involved and win to be a good program.

Ricky Knight is promoting the crap out of Florida State on social media for a guy who insiders say is turning towards Illinois.

Me, personally, I do not see a flip. He has a connection like cousin or something at fsu and was looking for an offer from there, and closer to home. Lots of things going against a flip.
