Illinois Football Recruiting Thread

[kyillini]

I would assume they will be looking at a qb with experience. We have Boyd, Newton, Hampton on the team now.

 

[The Dying Illini]

Not a subscriber not someone alluded to Illinois being "tied to a signal caller"

Anyone on here got an ideas?

I think we are after a TE still, here is one in the portal.

That is a really large human.

Dudes got an arm that's for sure, be interesting to see the experts opinion?

adjusting from FCS to B1G not easy

see Gronowski , Iowa

 

[the juiceman cometh]

I know the talk has been about a DeVito-type 1-year guy, but anyone in the know have an idea if we'd kick the tires on Brady Atkinson at Mercer? I mean, if we're looking at FCS guys anyway, he put up pretty impressive numbers as a freshman. 65% passing and over 3,600 yards. Rough time in their one FCS playoff game though.

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Seems like lots of early buzz on Craig....

 

[Illini4Chief]

DIdn't know Harvard had a football team........seems a leap to Biggs from Harvard

well, he went to the UI of the northeast

 

[BrownTown]

Could there be an Art Sitowski connection out of New Jersey?

Art's hometown is less than an hour away from Seton Hall prep where Craig went to school

They have been keeping tabs on this one for awhile now

 

[whatahack]

I would like to think our educational prowess could help

 

[WhereDoWeStandWithStorr?]

Would've preferred we went after someone with some of P4 experience. IV League to the big ten is always going to be a tough challenge.

Mark Gronowski 2.0.

 

[Genesis]

Those Ivy League defenses were pretty poor. I need a couple extra fingers and toes to count how many times the announcer said "wide open!" There were other times though that he threaded the needle.

A defensive back with 12.5 TFLs?!?

That was my first reaction. I'd love to know if they had a scheme that made that possible. Or maybe open field tackles on screens?

Here is the list of transfer QB's so far.

Does anyone know if we're looking for a QB in the portal?

Certainly an option …

Very early in the portal season …

 

[Knee brace]

Does he have the grades to get accepted?

 

[TentakilRex]

This is huge....

BLJ would do wonders for DJ Lagway.
