Illinois Football Recruiting Thread

[and 69 others]

I'm assuming these collectives all have 501(c)(3) status and the donations are thus tax write-offs.

Good thing he doesn’t play basketball. Kelly Pfieffer would be calling all kinds of T’s!

Here come the accounting nerds. Please add your dissertation on GAAP below, I'm in need of a nap.

Thanks for the info. Could we send some of that energy to MBB? Crazy how different it feels on that side.

 

[Mr. Tibbs]

Anybody miss the days of the Tim Brasic Kisan Flakes type QB room?

ugh

the lack of a really good qb was the main reason our offense stunk for so long .

 

[mhuml32]

Losing Bray stings. I've assumed the team is going to lose a couple guys that are expected rotation pieces because of a number crunch, better opportunities elsewhere, or other players progressing faster.

 

[logjam]

He was never leaving.

How was your break..?

Weren't you the one who brought up 501(3)(c)s in the first place?

 

[AirNeazy]

we added 3 DL transfers.....and he fits better in a traditional 4-3 or 4-2-5 scheme

In NCAA25 franchise mode, Bray always ended up as a dominant AA stud by year 3.......for that reason alone I'm sad to see him go lol

 

[Kendall Gill’s Uncle]

He was never leaving.

You’re back!! I’ve missed you!

Our starting center is a senior. The end goal should be the nfl and we’ve done a great job with developing guys

He's a starting freshman AA at a p4 school and he's coming here to sit behind our senior started because he likes our development? I'd be ecstatic if that turned out to be true, I'm just having a hard time believing he wouldn't want to start wherever he goes. Would we offer him a guard spot this year and the keys at center next year?

Alex Bray was a recruit Illinois took a flyer on. His recruiting list reflects that outcome. Players like him will always get recruited over all the time. He would do better by going to a non power 4 conference.

Demetrius Hill was also a freshman all American before he transferred here

 

[mhuml32]

Point taken, but Hill immediately tore his ACL.

Illinois being involved makes sense because he's good and you can never have enough offensive lineman. Those principles also apply to everyone else. I would be shocked if another program doesn't pay him a lot of money to be a plug-and-play starter.

Hill played in the first game and got hurt. At that point he wasn’t a starter

Not in the Big 12, but I get your point. If we can land Cash, that's a huge boost to the future of our OL room.

Good luck Alex. I enjoyed watching your game on the field.

We’ll have to land cash before we can land Cash.
