Probably some. But I think a lot of these kids are genuinely bought into the development and $$ down the road

I don’t think I’d let my son play for Deion the coach either.
HOWEVER, Deion the man surprised me. My best friend lives in Denver, went to CU, and his daughter fought and beat cancer a few years ago. Deion, Shedeur, and a number of other Buffs met with her and invited her back to CU football events at least 3x times over the last 2 years. They’re good dudes, though we don’t see the best side of them on TV.
Just some perspective. My best friend is a good Jewish dude from Chicago that I know this board would love. He’s an Illini fan too.

Are you peeling onions too?
Coach is looking a bit healthier, I am happy for him and his family. We need him around til the breaks fall off this ride. Awesome job Coach!

Deon can’t be wasting time breaking down film of HS kids come on.I’m pretty sure Colorado just goes to the top 300 on 247 and offers … And that’s their recruiting strategy …
One of my favorite moments as a long time suffering Illini fan !Git yer bronze ready.
I think suffering and Illi fan are synonyms
I good Irish laddie. Erin Go Bragh!
I’ve seen this overoptimism before and I don’t like where that usually goes.
Couldn’t agree more …
Altmyer … Jacas … X … JC Davis … Miles Scott … Matt Bailey … Just to name a few … They all had higher offers $$$ wise to go elsewhere …
NFL is forever money … Plus - our guys get promised their NIL money and they get the full amount … It ain’t that way at every school …
JC Anderson will not be going to Colorado … His parents literally told me …
I wouldn’t call that over optimism …
It’s been down to UNC, Illinois, ND, Auburn, and PSU for Anderson for a very long time …
And out of that list … It’s really been Illinois vs Penn State …
And James Franklin came to Illinois and he didn’t even stop in to see JC … Went and saw Sutter though … Should tell you all you need to know …

Is it overoptimism if the national guys are all predicting the same thing?
Your point?
