Congrats to Mark, his family & the Illini family. Major kudos to Coach Underwood and his staff for going toe to toe with the bid dogs and coming out on top!

Fun fact: the Edwardsville athletic director who talked for a long time: former Illini linebacker Joe Bevis' dad.

I have a feeling this won't be the last time he comes out on top, either.

Long time lurker, first time poster. Home run for Underwood and Whitman. Love the stealth mode that has taken over lately, starting with the coaching hire. Everyone is keeping their cards close to the chest, and letting the results do the talking. Groce was all pop and no sizzle. This coaching staff is about to get it right. Welcome Mark Smith!

Haven't felt this good about a recruit since we got Sergio and Marcus Griffin. They got the ball rolling again in the post-Henson era, and I think Mark Smith is going to do the same. If he gets Tilmon to come back then the comparison will be complete.
