Great news on Lovett but this is a bit of a bummer

Essenhaus, the Amish Institution of Restaurants, Middlebury, IN. And you thought the beef house was legendary.

Lovett are the recruiting battles the staff needs to start winning 6-10x /year. 10+ D1 offers, 5+ P4 offers. Solid start. If you can get another couple of recruits like Boyd and Lovett before you start the June recruiting blitz, things could be looking really good.

Trimble would be a major get. Will he play WR at Illinois? TBD?

Trimble, Brooks, Kaminski and Dowell are all huge. These are the type of kids we need to get

NAACP just came out and recommended black athletes to reconsider attending Florida schools based on the governor's removal of DEI programs. I feel like this could have an impact on football, especially with our inroads in Florida. Even a small shift to non-Florida schools could make a difference. Do insiders have any sense if our program is going to up the recruiting ante in Florida?

Kinda doubt Florida football players come to Illinois because of our DEI program, but I’ll take it if they do.

WTH? He’s from Mt. Zion, this should be a slam dunk, but to not even get a visit???

I'm sure this conversation will stay on the rails.... I agree, but I would say it's possible that you will see small differences from families where DEI is that important that will lean to other programs. It's not so much of a benefit for Illinois - but schools like SEC programs in areas that aren't going to be as harsh on those political landscapes might get a little more attention from a handful of recruits. That said, I would be shocked if it's a difference maker.

No new crystal balls, hmmmm. Cameron Brooks? Seems unlikely because he set an OV with KU last week.

This dude is going to be a left tackle. Mark it down.

Amish food. Nuff said.

Trimble, most likely

Anderson has been to multiple ILL games/visits.

I think the only two of his spring visits that he’s been to before are ND and Iowa (once each).

I’m sure he’ll be around for the ILL spring game and junior day in the summer.

[illinidarrin]

oh, that clears it up.

I see 2 players from Florida that has us as high interest. I'm going to say the CB from Seminole High School.
