Yes, we don’t suck. His dad is also a former Iowa player that played for KF. BB was coaching ar Iowa when Matt played but I’m not sure how much of a difference it will make.

Matt coaches hs football and will recommend recruits to the Iowa staff.
He will end up at Iowa. Connection with his dad is too strong. Hopefully he doesn’t bite on play action as much as his old man did in college and the pros. Also bigger fish out there to be had.

An absolute thriller in Mundelein. Montini came through with a 55-54 win. Second win helped with a stuffed 2 pt conversion this season. Becoming a theme the past 2 seasons. @therealmiket86 why arent we giving this kid more of a look with the other top qb's going elsewhere? This is a big time throw on the run. He threw for 568 yards and played toe-toe with Trae Taylor.

We already have our 27 qb. Both qbs had huge nights yesterday. I heard Trae had 5 passing tds and 3 rushing td

He did. Monster game as well. I know we have a 27, but do we stop at 1. We missed out on Trae, but is it not worth it to look at him more. Or is the strategy 1 freshman qb and a transfer as needed.

should have put this in my initial reply: am more than happy w/Lopati. kid oozes potential, has a great frame and arm, pretty good wheels

Feels odd with a top 150 QB in our backyard. Wonder the reasoning behind going for Trae then the pivot to Cowboy.

Absolutely. I just liked the opportunity that could’ve presented itself in the western burbs. Things happen and we will enjoy Lopati hopefully for 4 years.

on paper, sure. thing is, the recruiting services' lists are sometimes (often?) quite divergent from the staff's list. I don't know squat, but I'd reckon we spent a good deal of time scouting both Abrams and Taylor. that we didn't pivot to Abrams after Taylor went full Husker speaks volumes

Maybe the way true announcement went rubbed bret the wrong way very cliff Alexander like announcement I remember alot of people on here were upset about it.but its definitely clear trae is a player sad he committed to guy that has underwhelmed developing a top qb prospect as of now I under he's still sophomore but with all the mini maholmes talk hasn't had near the production in college as of yet

I heard brother rice lost was it against Morgan Park or mount Carmel?whoever they lost to must have a really solid offensive line because that brother rice line is stacked with top end talent

I've heard the kids name a couple of times never watched any of his highlights but that was a extremely impressive throw im going to watch more of his highlights.does make you wonder why we haven't been recruiting as hard as other players kid obviously has talent
