So he was really wearing a Milroe T-shirt? Because I originally assumed that part of the first sentence was also a play on old stuff from the board.
Anderson just landed a Ole Miss prediction (On3).
Update on JC?
According to On3 Anderson is trending away to Ole Miss (?) (local and national)

and another one:
No idea how this will finish, but I assume our staff won't stop pursuing him, and if he goes elsewhere and has a mediocre experience, as transfer back home may be something to watch
not sure its a fair assessment to pencil in every piece of information that goes against Illinois as irrelevant and clickbait.

I'd imagine much of the same with Mack, no?
Exactly. We’re having a great recruiting run here, but I just want a fair assessment as best as possible. I don’t want to hear “well we cooled on Barnett” when he’s a damn good back. It’s okay to lose some; let’s not forget we literally went 5-7 the year before last. I don’t want to have this idea that if we want someone, we get them, and if they commit elsewhere, there’s mutual disconnect and we lost interest too. I liked the Trae Taylor discourse: “this sucks but we’ll be fine.” If we lose out on JC and/or Sutter that is a major bummer and I swear if I hear one person on here try to say “oh we actually liked Will Valla more” I’m gonna lose it lol

it obviously isn't. in any assessment it is vital to consider the source and their impetus. as Indy said, the tell is whether Anderson's announcement is public. it is, and I'm feeling great about it. that and $5 will get you a cup of coffee
We’ve seen a refugee from Ole Miss thrive in Champaign.
I still don't understand why this would be a tell. A lot of guys who go out of state also do public announcements. Not saying he's going to Ole Miss but just a little skeptical on this particular piece of evidence people seem to be putting a lot of weight on.
buzz is sutter also is leaning Bama (as of this second; as has been discussed).

Indy has pretty much crushed it. in he infallible? no such thing. that said, I believe him
At least its not Michigan. Iowa, Notre Dame, or even Penn State.
The post you're referring was from a week ago. Recruiting is fluid.

He is fantastic. Love when he posts.
I think he might be off on this one. And you know what, thats OK. Cant be perfect. JC visiting 15 times during the recruiting process and never committing is a sign that Illinois isn't offering what he is looking for. Whether that be playing time, style of play, money, etc.
By all accounts though, by no means would this class be underwhelming. Up to this point - outside of the Barnett, Singleton flips (which were backed up by respectable pivots) - not sure we've truly "missed" on anybody, and the ones we have were more of turning guys down (which is a good thing).
Still have four 4* commits, have the best player in Chicago, best player in the Metro-east, and have stacked up that defense.
