If that's verified 4.5 then for sure. Would add to the versatile and athletic athletes they've been getting. I'm going to watch the tape but if those are verified and he has even solid tape (Which I'd expect with this Illini offer now), I expect a lot of traffic soon.


Asked earlier but would be the first from that school since Josh Brent and HooMan. Both were NFL players and with those measurable and the ability to develop players from this staff, the sky is the limit.

I remember watching Brent in h.s. He was a monster.

If he’s going to be a top 75 kid in his class, he’s not coming, they won’t have the money to pay him.

Exactly ! The top schools dont recruit anymore, they simply complete transactions with practically unlimited bank accounts . Then we have to listen to their BS : " its all about the kids "

I disagree. We paid Hankins, Rankin and Eberhart a lot. I think we will pay if the recruit can come in and play as a freshman.

Hankins was the highest rated of the class at 159.

If this kid ends up progressing and is a top 75 kid, they won’t be able to pay him enough.

Bret is putting what money they have to proven returning starters. Which I agree with. Issue is lack of overall funds.

There are levels to the money being offered.

Realistically that’s how it’s always been. It’s just out in the open now. Hopefully some sort of a cap gets put in
