Come on, man. No need to go knives out on a post like this. this guy has no history of chirping about any “lack of recruiting” or what not. He’s simply trying to bring some good juju to the recruiting page. Good grief.
Is three visits right?
26 offers, made, 2 lower 4 stars signed.

No. It's five by my count if you add the two from 2028 who are visiting and are potential reclass options, but I feel like I'm forgetting someone...
24/7 unfortunately does not have Dylan Betts listed for a visit on their site yet, but I'm pretty sure he is visiting the same weekend as MK. But I could be wrong...

Most top 20/30 kids wont commit until spring these days with the portal. Heck even if they do commit it doesn't matter too much. Keep expectations low
I’ve long thought (though NIL has changed this significantly) that the true sign of a healthy program in terms of recruiting is getting multiple high level targets to visit. Of course, you gotta close on some. But the fact that we’ve got significant interest from quite a few 5 star prospects is an amazing place to be in.

Isn't Betts 2028?

not after he re-classes (which Victor states in his post)

great skill and length. needs to add a lotta strength and mass, which should improve his athleticism. gots to feel that Fletch could do wonders for him. might be our ace in the hole here

I am only asking in the context of why his visit wasn't listed specifically on the 24/7 C/O 2027 visits since he's still technically a 2028 prospect, regardless of his intention to reclassify.
That's an interesting foursome....
right.... that seems like a very beatable group for Brad. and now I'm scared for some reason. but fear is the mind killer. I will let it wash over me and leave me once it passes.
we are getting 2 5 star kids...I can feel it
My previous comment was just a fun playful joke….seems a lot of people here are wrapped up too tight and this comment is not specifically directed towards you by any means.

Give me back my Afta, heh heh
This.
He's going to have to add Misery and Kentucky if he wants to completely surround Illinois...
Is this the staff aiming higher, him already seeing IL a bunch ...or a going concern?
Wondering same. We were in on him very early.
Be surprised if that was the case. He's been here unnofficially a bunch of times already so probably just not included in the round.
Yeah he is an important piece to our future team building elements here.
Cole's all-around game + his skill, makes him somebody who... whether he is starting or coming off the bench, he could have a huge impact on the game on a lot of different levels!
We don't really want him getting too comfortable with these other schools. He is supposed to be cutting down nets at Illinois, and nowhere else!

Hopefully aiming higher
