The Illini internet is no longer a cesspool of bitterness and frustration. Josh Whitman, you monster.

As much as I’d like to know who we’re looking at, I think it’s best that the staff — and ONLY the staff — know who they’ve got their eyes on.

A 7'7" 310 lb balkan project would do nicely

QC is 15 on On3, 22 on ESPN, 34 on 247.

The 247 rankings will be updated soon, while the other two have already made their final release.

They bumped him up even higher?

He's 13th now and 17th in composite (maybe I'm out of the loop and he got this bump already...)

No this is as of today.

Morillo and Zens moved up as well.
