Signing Day 2017

I haven't been following the whole process, how did we go from front runners to on the outside looking in?

He may have selected Miami over Illinois anyways but admissions played a part. And that's not a "woe is us" admissions thing, I'd still be shocked if he actually enrolls this fall at Miami.

But I hope he does, he'll be a fun one to watch in college.

Double Down

Chicago, IL
Thomas to Miami

So sad of me to believe that ESPN putting the Illini on the board as a sign that a surprise might happen :(

But, with that being said, it is good publicity for the Illini to be in contention for a player that is spotlighted by ESPN's signing day

It's changed dramatically in just the last 15 minutes...

Really hoping we get this kid. Huge leg. Nothing like a good punter to help a defense out.

Just looked up the composite rankings for the 2017 classes and Illinois is at #39. When was the last time we were that high? Don't know if this is the right place for this and I'm sure it has been talked about just wanted to see if anyone could tell me that.
