It’s very common for kids to wear another teams gear

We (fans) need to be prepared that the anxiety of losing flips is going to be 100x what it's been for 15 years. It's traditionally been just 1-2 guys that other teams really wanted. Now it's going to be 8-10 guys that the staff is going to continue to prioritize or they'll go to a really good program.
This what y'all referring?
The optics is not cool.
Isn’t he from Ohio? Maybe just trolling THE home state school a little. Wearing a backpack from the school up North does that a lot better than an Illinois backpack.
Especially after 2024!

Victor is one we’re gonna have to recruit until signing day … He’s probably going to take other visits as well …

I am in Peoria and know his Uncle. It's been a while but he told me flat out "Why not Illinois, his family is here" now granted it's been a few months but he said Illinois is certainly in the mix.
Seems speculative and ambiguous, more clickbait than news:
PRO: “ Given his Illinois roots, Wiltfong logged an expert prediction for the Fighting Illini to land a commitment from Rankin. Of course, anything can change in the world of recruiting, but it appears the Ducks will need to battle with their new Big Ten foe if they want to lure Rankin to Eugene.”
CON: “ Four-star athlete Nasir Rankin is eyeing the Ducks as one of his top choice, even telling On3's Steve Wiltfong that Oregon is one of his two "dreams schools. Oregon and USC have been my dream school since I was a kid. Getting those offers were crazy. Oregon I know they produce a lot of good receivers. I know if you go there you’ll be coached by some of the best coaches along with USC," Rankin told Wiltfong.”
@Indy Illini Fan and other insiders have shared this sentiment a few times

no kid has a doormat as a dream school (just an observation, not directed at you). Coach B is rapidly changing that.
gee, nothing better than fanboy journalism
