You’re exactly right.
But technically they’re at the trough though, right? If they’re eating with horses?

truly an amazing turnaround by this staff. A decade ago, 5 other P4 offers would pretty much be the max for our commits. Now 5 is basically the floor. It feels so much better going up against Alabama, Michigan, and Oklahoma than Ball State and Delaware.

This class now officially matches the total # of 4* in the entire Lovie tenure with 5.
Don't leave out mighty Elon. They were a recruiting thorn in our side during the Ron Turner years.

Joel Goodson

cousin of Sydney and Chase? c'mon, bro, dudes aren't supposed to tease
I would guess we try to get a qb on board soon. With 2026 all but wrapped up we just need to keep recruiting our guys and be ready for some flips during the fall. Also gives us a lot of time to start pushing for the 27 class
Dad went to Illinois.
Eberhart is a very good HS wide receiver btw. At least production wise.

I typically avoid comments that look like post-op adjustments, but I'll need some faith from the audience that I believed this beforehand: Eberhart has a much higher ceiling for impact at Illinois because of his position / scheme than Anderson/Sutter. Still absolutely would want one of those guys to flip to Illinois. That said, you absolutely take a 4-star defensive back over a 4-star tight end in a vacuum.

Beating miznoz for a Saint Charles, MO kid would make me extremely happy. What's the connection?pretty big family connection:
