I agree, it sucks to lose local/ Illinois kid. But my take is these kids want to get away from home and go somewhere warm. My nephew is a really good baseball player, one of the top high school freshman in Iowa. He wants to go play down south.

He lives in Tennessee. Just originally from Bloomington
Be shocked if we don't get this one locked down this weekend ...
I'd want to get out of Iowa, too.

I mean, if I were the recruit I couldn't say no to the Illini cookie cake...
Any of visitors we should be keeping our eye on?

I forgot about him but he also didn’t play 1 snap last year. He has a lot of good players ahead of him.

He did a one day visit to Auburn, on a Tuesday, after visiting Clemson, and that was enough to convince him to commit? If it was me, I would continue to recruit him. He isn't high regarded enough to assume Auburn gave him a massive NIL bag (can't afford to give ~400th ranked HS recruits much money), just seems odd.

I'm assuming this means "commitments within 1 week after departing campus" --- so by June 16th.

Coach Bret Bielema says Illinois football nearly done with roster construction
The Illini could add a couple transfers on offense, but look to have the rest of its roster set ahead of fall camp.
