If he's squatting, deadlifting, and pressing the numbers he should be as an 18-yr old RB at 5'9" he should be ultimately ~220. And he will look nothing like a hydrant. More like an hourglass.

We’re running 2nd right now … Based on what I’ve been told …
Subject to change obviously … But don’t discount the brother in all of this … We will take BOTH … Everyone else on that list ? Not taking both …
Not worried about Ole Miss … Not worried about Auburn …
Again - I will be SHOCKED if JC isn’t an Illini in the end …
Family wanted to go through the process as they should and they’re enjoyed all the visits … But in the end … There’s no place like home … You do it here and have success … You’re a legend …
IlliniInquirer thinks we're very much in the mix for Eberhart (and allegedly in a better spot than Mizzou).
The fire hydrant after hearing all the hate:
Does this mean we are willing to sign 3 tight ends in this class? Obviously all excellent players, but enough snaps to keep everyone happy?

I'm assuming the staff is comfortable taking three TEs if two are Anderson and Sutter. Vala could reassess his situation and de-commit in that scenario.
This applies to Mack too. That dynamic in-state duo, they're great friends, be absolute legends staying home. Both of them. Together.
It does make a lot of sense in terms of the appeal.
It sure would be nice if Illinois had a former Ole Miss recruit that could talk to Sutter about his experiences between the two programs!!!
A couple of thousand fans showing up might not be a bad idea either... How bad do you guys want to see Sutter in Orange and Blue
Be crazy, be fans, embrace the excitement!!! Been a fan my whole life... Went back to school in my 30s... a admin gave me a chance even though there was little to no chance I could graduate all because he thought it would make a great story... Well I got my degree!!!! ILL!!!! Let's get these kids home!!! Not just for us... But for them
Barge time.
you cam never have too many athletic 6’5” guys . obvi one or two become a split end or defensive end . they won’t ride the pine

This is starting to get really old. I hate losing recruiting battles to Alabama and Ohio State. Honestly, there's just not a lot of difference among those three programs.
Ole Miss -- not really sure how they fit in.

The fact that we are even in this group as a semifinalist is crazy and so awesome, haha. While it would take decades to ever reach OSU or Alabama levels of prestige, Bret has already elevated us to Ole Miss-type status - a cool new-comer that is hungry to take on the big boys and has proven a certain level of success (e.g., 10 wins and bowl victories). That was an UNTHINKABLE accomplishment a few years ago!
ole miss is a very good program. will need to maintain the trajectory for quite a few more years to truly reach that stature.
Add the “House Settlement” quasi salary cap and closer monitoring of NIL packages, and the playing field may be leveled considerably. One billionaire alum shouldn’t be able to buy a winning roster.
and that we made the f4 cut and PSU didnt....love it

Pretty conceivably the big 6 at the moment looking at our visit list. Land 3 of those guys and makes for a very stout class. Land 4 or 5 and you're reaching true historical heights for what this class could mean in terms of impact (especially if you can pair Anderson and Sutter; the aura simply unmatched).

the greatest part is that having anderson on board will presumably only help with mack - as has been stated here many times, they talk often, etc.Pretty conceivably the big 6 at the moment looking at our visit list.
