Micah Smith sounds like trending toward Illinois.

IS it true that we are making major progress with a certain RB?
It's very true
You should've made it a double flip
It’s a back flip …
For a very special flip …

I watched the 3A final between Tolono Unity and Byron. Considine played both ways and had several hundred total yards on offense by himself.
During the game, the TV announcer said his dad was a walk-on at Iowa and then played for the Ravens in the NFL. I would encourage the Illini to give him a strong look, maybe Coach B has a connection with the dad.

Hoping we can emulate what the Bears have accomplished in one year at OL and RB
He is a walk on type. Will probably walk on at Iowa.(Can't remember if Iowa offered him or not since he is a legacy)
IMO we're a JC Davis-level left tackle away from having the offense set other than QB.

Flip day precedes Signing day. (And that's a lot of flips!)
I think he’s worth a scholly. Throw him in the Heckel/Resetich category (recognize both struggled this year but both clearly D1 players) of overlooked small town kids. Would he take a full ride over PWO at Iowa? I don’t know but I would make him make that decision.
Mac has a loooong way to go still.
think we still take 2 more transfer OL
I remember last season there was talk about us turning down very good running backs (I think Bret said it himself). I'd envision not the case this time around.

Agree … Bret knows what he’s got and he knows talent upgrade is needed through JUCO, Portal World and HS …
TJ Taylor likely starter at right tackle. Melvin Priestly replacement.
He would likely be the highest OL recruit in Bret's tenure, which I still find odd given his reputation with OL that he hasn't been able to recruit better at that position. Andrew Dennis was a highly ranked OL recruit but transferred to MSU right away when they hired a new coach. Let's hope Micah comes on board and starts a trend for the OL
This is portal, right?
