[Fly Illini Fly!]

Source ?

Because the % is higher … Significantly higher …

We’re going to be a player here … I talked to a couple of our coaches and a couple people in personnel … This ESL move is significant … We were always in the mix but even more so now …

No other school in the country can say they’ve been recruiting this kid since he was in middle school … We can …

“Elite player … Absolute game changer … NFL ready size … Big Ten POTY potential as a freshman especially in our program.”

- A certain coach we all know and love …

will get the first class reception and then some. long, long time since we've had a true shot at a 5*.

likely in the 1% range.

Such a positive outlook on all things.

also doesnt hurt that our program has gained so much momentum and exposure during his time away

Who would you rather put into a close game. Brandon Peters (JR, SR or Super-SR - take your pick), AJ Bush (SR), or Freshman Nathan Scheelhaase?

Experience helps of course, but it isn't everything.

Nate

gonna need a bigger bag

He cares more about development and winning/competing than money. We will have a shot and in case y’all haven’t realized we have some big bags now too

Boyd has looked really good …

If he was 6’3, he would’ve easily been a top 5 QB in the class … That’s what a staff member told me …

Pretty sure we talk to the same people ha. Boyd has some insane arm talent

 

[TentakilRex]

is he Herschel Walker or Marcus Dupree good ?

I will take a healthy Jonathan Gray, but only rushing for 911 yards last season means he is no Jonathan Gray, language in video is NSFW.

I think my worry is that the A&Ms/Texas/Miami won't be following the new revenue share model and this will just give them another 20 mil to throw around legally.
I do hope for college football's sake that it holds.

Would he probably play RB here?

Facts!!! ILL baby!!!

Would he probably play RB here?

That would be the ideal plan ... But with a kid like that ... We will recruit him at whatever spot he wants ...

With that size and speed he could play anywhere...

 

[and 69 others]

Hamer?

 

[IlliniRocketFan]

If I remember correctly the family lives comfortably. I think mom is a doctor, so less money stress to have to deal with. Maybe?

brought me some Chase Brown memories with how fast he hit holes and then turned on the after burners........

 

[mhuml32]

likely in the 1% range.

I'm guessing that was the odds when he was in Texas. Knowing a percentage is impossible but coming back "home" surely seems to increase the odds for Illinois. The pushback is he's so talented that every school would be willing to prioritize him.

What other position do you think he would want to play?
