Feels like there could be some good news on the way today …
Illinois Football Recruiting Thread

Not only are we beating out scUM and some major SEC powers for some of our recruits (so sweet), but we are also winning a huge percentage against the programs that have made a living poaching our instate talent - Iowa, Minny, Wisconsin. Riordan is going to Iowa, but otherwise I don't really see any commits to those 3 schools that we really pursued. Love it!

With IW and what could be Hankins, I am wondering if we cooled or King seeing that he is being recruited over?

“I said, ‘Coach, you don’t think we can get a half an inch?’ ” Williams said amid the uproar of the postgame celebration. “He looked at me and got on the headset to (offensive coordinator Mike) Locksley. He (Zook) said, ‘If you don’t get it, I’ll hurt you.’ “
Zook remembered it differently.
“Juice said, ‘I’ll get you an inch,’ ” Zook said. “I said, ‘You’d better.’ “

Let's be clear here: he guaranteed the Zooker that he would exceed the expectations and requirements on that particular play by 100%. And more than delivered on it IIRC.

Aided in large part by Jim Tressel's puzzling decision to call time out and let Zook, Locks and Juice have a chat on the sidelines.
a la Rutgers 2024
Good stuff here for program

I was there. Also, I'd wager, one of the top 10 moments in Illini football history. 4th and 13 from ~ the 40; 14 seconds left. A miracle.

Have you heard anything on Storr?
Jk, I am hoping for the best and expecting the worst.
I hope Barnett remains. That would be two years of very good rb's in the room. Coach B knows how to use them especially with our O line in the future.

6:40 - Marcus Thomas interception and run the whole 8:09 off the clock on the road against the No. 1 team in the land.
Total brilliance.

IIRC OSU controlled the ball for something like 30 seconds of the entire fourth quarter. Epic road performance against the #1 team.
+ Daniel Dufresne. RIP, brother.
