Illinois Football Recruiting Thread

Werner has said between 15-20 this offseason but has started to lean towards the low-end recently. I'm guessing this coming weekend will be the final volume commitment weekend for the class. Current class has 11 commits and there's an obvious need for at least a couple secondary recruits. I'm guessing Illinois gets 2-3 commits attached to this weekend's visits (247 has two listed visitors, but I think there's more) and then will continue working on a handful of guys who are committed elsewhere in hopes of coaching staff instability and/or change of heart.
Mel Gray was lightening. Pru, you might also be thinking of Bobby Moore who was drafted by the Football Cardinals in 1972 and became known as Ahmad Rashad. Another great wide receiver. Oh those days of Air Coryell were fun.
I was thinking Roy Green but I don’t think he was on the Coryell teams.
Was a huge Cardinal FB fan in the day.Hart and Lomax to Roy { jet stream } Green brings back some fond memories.Don't think Green was ever caught from behind.

What's our vector, Victor?
How's our clearance, Clarence?
Roger. What?
(Not to you Mapman, just amused by the thread.)
And I today I learned Ahmad Rashad's birth name, for once I don't feel like the old man on the site.

Jim Hart , SIU QB..........Larry Wilson was my favorite player......played a game with both wrists broken ......tough SOB..........Roy Green was greased lightening , big plays was his skillset.....I always thought Neil Lomax was really good but underappreciated by the STL fans................Terry Metcalf , O.J. Anderson , Jerry Stovall............Cardinals games were must see TV for me....they really really were.....
sorry to get off topic Dan....................

I was no Cards fan, but had utmost respect for Conrad Dobler - tough hombre
He was proclaimed "Pro Football's Dirtiest Player" with a 1977 cover story in Sports Illustrated magazine and was the author of a 1988 memoir, They Call Me Dirty.

Jim Hart - Niles West. Larry Wilson, fantastic football player. Mel Gray, Jim Otis (even if he did go to OSU), Roger Wehrli, Don Coryell. That was some team.

Hey, I was a huge Cards football fan growing up. I even got to party a few times with Jay Novacek the summer he was drafted. I was working in the EIU locker room that summer and the Cards football camp was there. Partied at Marty’s across the street.
