Illinois Football Recruiting Thread

#326      
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.
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.
