The problem going against Texas schools for his recruitment is they can toss a ton of money, end of story type. Probably never ends with NIL, if he is successful at the school the number of $100 handshakes and other benefits are to the point that Illinois isn't competitive. Would love to land the home state RB, and have a lot of faith in Bielema, but when dealing with football athletes who aren't wealthy they need to cash in often and as high as they can. It is a brutal sport.

Not just getting courtesy visits anymore...
Exactly - they won't turn down a difference maker & can be picky now

if Williams was a whopping 2 inches taller, the big boys would be all over him. That said, Singletary was under 6' and he was pretty good
The kid is a top 10 player in his class.
As much as I’d love to see him at ILL……his family didn’t move to Texas for him to play better competition to then just come back to Illinois.

Bonus points awarded for doing so in a way that was not a malapropism.

ho hum, another 4 star QB from GA:
We are getting some top notch players to visit. The qb from Gais one. We would have never been in a position from Ga to even sniff Champaign.

Are you sure this is why he moved to Texas? I thought there was quite a bit more to the story.
My understanding is it was more about

That's different from what he usually does, so i have no idea what this means?
Coaches cannot quote tweets from recruits, but they can retweet them according to the rules. Bret retweeted a Davon Grant interview and this is his way of telling people to check it out
Just got home today from Moffit Cancer Hospital (Tampa) after having a cancerous mass removed from my lung (never smoker.) Now I can concentrate on Big Ten tournament, March Madness, Football recruiting, and spring football. Go Illini!!

Wow...hope all is well going forward

Thank you! Today's game was a real pick-me -up! I love it when the team follows up a 40+ loss with two 20 point wins. Getting Rez back will be a plus, but they're putting the hammer down at just the right moment. Need more from TGL but the rest are cookin'!
Sure helps my recovery!
God bless you and I pray right now that the King of Glory- Jesus Himself- intercedes and quashes any further challenges from that mass.
Get well soon buddy.
