Illinois Football Recruiting Thread
- Status
There are some non-commits mixed in. Plus, if not mistaken, no recruits are officially signed. In this day and age, have to keep recruiting your commits. Also, a fair amount of the HS the coaches are going to are pretty strong football schools, For example, the Ohio high schools that John and McCullom attend have between them another 5 or 6 three star players in 2024/2025 classes. Don’t know if are recruiting any of them, but building relationships with those types of schools isn’t a bad thing for future recruiting.
This is all a money grab ... Mizzou is gonna come up with more come signing day ... And that is where it will get interesting ...
Verbals don't mean

They are getting some Walmart money but the benefit of the law that allows payment while still in high school once you sign your LOI doesn't hurt either
We have a good running back coming in for the 24 class.
Missouri law OKs NIL compensation for high school athletes who stay in-state - Coach and Athletic Director

Just get to a bowl game and win it this year.
it really makes that big of a difference? couldn't guys get more money from other schools even if they have to wait a couple of months?Missouri law OKs NIL compensation for high school athletes who stay in-state - Coach and Athletic Director

this is begging for good old fashioned cheating by the top 6 or 8 teams. the very thing NIL was supposed to stop.
5 star kid HS kid in Missouri is offered a modest NIL deal to sign with the Tigers, but in swoops (insert you favorite
cheater) with the bag of cash. if every state does this, watch out.

So it is legal for a high schooler to take NIL money in state as a high schooler, I get that. What I don't get is how it is illegal for that same person to take money from an out of state entity? If the next Michael Phelps, Simone Biles or Tara Lipinski is from Missouri and wins olympic gold as a high schooler, can they not get paid to be on the Wheaties Box or create endorsements? Or collect any NIL money and then go to an out of state college afterwards? What is the illegal act and who is punished for it?Missouri law OKs NIL compensation for high school athletes who stay in-state - Coach and Athletic Director

Got an Iowa and PSU offer today
He's going to be offered by everyone before he graduates.
I have had coaches at SEC schools already asking me for my thoughts on him ...
Who is this referencing? The Xitter link broke so we can't see who got offered to start the convo.
The idea that NIL was not going to benefit the existing haves was always silly.
I believe it is the RB from MacArthur. I saw he got offered by Iowa yesterday but did not see any other offers yet.
Edit: Just saw he tweeted out he got an offer from PSU. This is going to be a battle if that is happening already as a freshman. His likelihood of staying at MacArthur is probably slim, but who knows.
Heard he’s headed to IMG
The law states that they are allowed to get NIL money while in high school if they sign to an in state school. So the source of the money being out of state wouldn't really matter, in my understanding. It's a law incentivizing kids to sign to play in state.
In Missouri's case, I am pretty sure they just need to verbally commit to the in-state school and then they can get NIL. Hence, receiving it even before signing day
Unless the article itself was wrong, it's an LOI.
When they verbally commit, the students can sign a financial aid agreement (non-binding) and at that time can receive the NIL
