I'm sorry, did you say the #1/2 recruit in....Nebraska?? The #1 or 2....football recruit? In the entire state of Nebraska? Is committed to the University of Illinois?
To play football? At Illinois? From Nebraska? To Illinois? Football? Nebraska? Illinois?

He doesn't look enough like Pat Mahomes... Rhule doesn't think he'll be there long enough to come through and why help the next guy...

Legit answer is they are competitive in the OL transfer market and have a ton of Freshman and RS Freshman on their roster (14/25 OL) and the scholly limit probably makes it hard to have a legit 23% of your roster be OL. Now a lot of those guys won't develop and will transfer out but might be a big reason they haven't offered him yet.

Love what the Nebby kid says about Coach B "Then especially against South Carolina when he held up his arms at them, that was really fun. I like that. I like a coach that has some grit to him."

Citrus Bowl was a great day for Bert.
And for me ------ watching Bert ------ and his 10-3 Illini squad ------ while in Orlando -------- at the Citrus Bowl!

I honestly don't care what the circumstances are, Illinois Football nabbing the top recruit out of Nebraska is a...... thing. Getting the top recruit out of any state is a thing. Maybe not...I don't know...Maine? Vermont? Still. Exciting...especially getting those corn fed linemen that Iowa and Wisconsin have enjoyed for a couple decades now.

Oh man I missed that he moved to Texas. Guess that will take some of the sting out of it if he doesn’t end up here.

Maybe we get him down the line out of the portal.
We need to go hard after him. He could be our next Mendenhall.... a big guy who ran over and then ran away from other people.
