Nunez is going into 8th grade and is undecided on hs. Both are hold backs. Also both of their dads are quarterback coaches

I would guess there is a good chance both only play 3 years of HS ball, reclassify up to where they should be age wise to get the large NIL $ earlier.

Holcomb already looks like a junior or senior in high school.

Unless a salary cap is put in place or Bret changes his spending philosophy the chance of them being Illini are slim.

I don’t think they will enroll early. Kids can start making NIL in hs. Trae Taylor is already making a ton of money. Him moving to Lincoln was a very smart business decision for him and I think you’ll see stuff like that happen.

The hold back BS is also crazy. There's 19 YOs playing HS football

The hold backs have been going on for many years. It seems especially for QB prospects (in their parents' eyes, at least)
