I like the direction "27", is trending. I still want East St. Louis flyers and Mount Carmel men filtering home to Champaign. I would stay on the OleMiss kids, going to be major upheaval in that program. They have a hand full of our top 30 committed. Good job staff. Impressive and I'm excited for Coach Wheatley gets humming! 💪 💪

Johnson is an NFL type of player. James is kind of underrated as he could be a really good LB with added strength. Paulsen and Rice were good evals who are still getting better.

I like where they are as far as who they have in the fold. Illinois has shown the ability to flip some targets including a few of the last commits. I see no reason after a pretty good year (And even more support) that it won't continue.

The line is at something like 7.5 and I feel they're underrated this year. With how I project a big jump from the OL and even more offensive production, they'll be both a pretty good and exciting team both on offense and defense with true impact/NFL guys on both sides.

It should be a fun year on and off the field IMO. They have another pretty good foundation already laid and the summer isn't over.

What's the regression going to look like at QB? Hard to talk about being underrated when that particular position is an unknown.

You never know with recruiting. I remember the 90 or 91 class that was small too. Guys like Simeon Rice and Kevin Hardy were in that class. Even though that was a small class it produced future NFL players and top ten draft picks. Maybe this class will too.

Konkey is a fun WR add because he's a risk/reward add and the WR unit is one of the more stocked units on the team. If he hits, it would give Illinois a chance to have a special WR core, even in the B1G. If he doesn't, there is not as much risk because there are other, promising WR options on the roster.

it’s going to be fun to watch a team with a guy running fly routes like Willie Gault did with the Bears in the mid 1980’s

it adds another dimension to your play calling even if he’s a decoy 2/3 of the time
