It’s absurd. * - uofi1998 June 23, 2020, 21:47:52 I agree, he and the wife needed to have more sons. - osklister June 24, 2020, 13:07:42 It’s all bad, but maybe they only need to hit on a couple recruits anyway? - AyBayBalas June 23, 2020, 21:17:09 several responses to this post and the ones below - illiniranger June 24, 2020, 0:57:27 Out talent acquisition is anywhere from 10-14th since Lovie came in. - uofi1998 June 23, 2020, 21:48:59 Hasn’t it been dead for awhile though? - AyBayBalas June 23, 2020, 22:10:34 It doesn't appear like he's even trying from the outside looking in. - ihpsdm June 24, 2020, 11:31:51 instate (and in the Midwest) it just seems like he doesn't care about it - illiniranger June 24, 2020, 12:20:09 His original plan was a recruiting triangle from St. Louis - Chicago - Cincinnati. - ihpsdm June 24, 2020, 12:29:31 It’s not just a lack of instate guys. We lack Big Ten footprint guys. - uofi1998 June 24, 2020, 12:44:21 there are many ways to build a roster, but i can't think of a team that intentionally recruits so - illiniranger June 24, 2020, 13:53:05 i just don't think you're going to get the quality or quantity trying to rely on the Sun Belt states - illiniranger June 24, 2020, 12:39:37 If there is a strategy at this point it's to upgrade talent through the portal. - ihpsdm June 24, 2020, 12:49:40 No other P5 school in the country with a decent base tries to cheat geography like we do. - uofi1998 June 24, 2020, 12:45:51 The plan seems to be going after recruits you can get without effort/sell - UofIL6 June 24, 2020, 12:27:49 Tepper, Turner, and Zook all recruited fairly well at times - illiniranger June 24, 2020, 2:42:31 LOL, Eric Jefferson. Hadn't thought of that name in years. Tepper called him a one-reeler. :-) - osklister June 24, 2020, 10:34:50 BTW, O'neill Gilbert (the asst coach that brought in EJ) was a recruiting stud - UofIL6 June 24, 2020, 10:59:43 so, funny story.... - Throwsize June 24, 2020, 11:20:29 Those RT staffs had a lot of emerging talent.

Always a trip. He was convinced he'd be the future - UofIL6 June 24, 2020, 11:29:36 LOL, I remember that!! When he took off (for the NFL IIRC) he made it a point to say he'd be HC here - osklister June 24, 2020, 11:35:29 Hubert Thompson* - UofIL6 June 24, 2020, 10:58:01 i became aware of and started rooting for the team in the Mackovic era - illiniranger June 24, 2020, 10:49:20 Mine was the first game of the Mike White era at MS.

The guys that were being brought in before Lovie were not B1G players - AyBayBalas June 23, 2020, 22:49:27 This staff/Werner have gotten a ton of mileage out of 'Power 5 trait' - UofIL6 June 23, 2020, 22:58:16 Just because it's used a lot doesn't mean it's not a valid point. - AyBayBalas June 23, 2020, 23:11:31 It's a useless statement that is purely for window dressing. Beckman and Cubits worst classes - UofIL6 June 23, 2020, 23:29:18 I guess I'm going a little post hoc on this but I still think there's enough to see that Lovie has - AyBayBalas June 23, 2020, 23:51:35 he's made the roster better, but better enough? - illiniranger June 24, 2020, 0:59:22 We do have a better roster. The problem is that the rest of the B1G West has gotten so much better. - ihpsdm June 24, 2020, 10:57:17 Better than Beckman/Cubit? Kind of a low bar to clear. - osklister June 24, 2020, 9:00:03 Better enough relative to the other conference teams * - illiniranger June 24, 2020, 9:39:32 Isn’t that the school that Moses Okpala came from?* - AyBayBalas June 22, 2020, 20:53:58 Yep* - UofIL6 June 22, 2020, 20:58:10 Another failure by the Illinois recruiting staff. Demetrius Cannon to Louisville. - uofi1998 June 22, 2020, 15:07:13 Werner was pretty clear, the staff preferred Chevy Benson - JacobRDaugherty June 22, 2020, 21:19:04 they're being awfully cavalier about this class. * - VIV June 23, 2020, 6:21:48 Beretta to the head, will this class finish in the top 70?* - uofi1998 June 23, 2020, 22:35:18 Based on the size of the class alone, absolutely * - JacobRDaugherty June 23, 2020, 23:08:39 The pun thread is obviously Cruzing right over your head.* - Illiniphil June 24, 2020, 9:20:09 I'm not sure it's his cobalt though.* - illini222 June 24, 2020, 10:13:53 I would pass the same along to Werner if I was this staff - UofIL6 June 22, 2020, 21:30:35 Pretty much. Just a bunch of rationalization. - uofi1998 June 22, 2020, 23:05:35 I do like his tape though * - JacobRDaugherty June 22, 2020, 22:34:37 The 4 we got (after LB)from Trinity are great recruits, but that in general, is a missed opportunity - UofIL6 June 22, 2020, 15:28:29 We're hardly even in STL right now... at least not near the level we were in recent years. - uofi1998 June 22, 2020, 16:04:42 If there's a silver lining the speech at the press conference for the next coach - UofIL6 June 22, 2020, 16:13:02 Should be a fun day in January 2025.* - uofi1998 June 22, 2020, 16:17:32 Calculating my age as of January 2025; not pretty. - osklister June 22, 2020, 21:39:21 Miznoz gets a 4* LB commit from NC - UofIL6 June 21, 2020, 16:59:42 When a coach starts, yes - illiniranger June 21, 2020, 22:43:25 We just got a CB for a Chevy.... - illinidarrin June 21, 2020, 14:22:32 And, DD Snyder (both from Werner)* - UofIL6 June 21, 2020, 14:28:36 Question I woke up thinking about this morning regarding the 2021 season: - AyBayBalas June 21, 2020, 10:57:37 I think it all comes down to isaiah williams - snipes824 June 21, 2020, 13:28:38 The lines will almost certainly be too terrible to matter. * - assassin June 21, 2020, 14:25:48 yeah, especially OL* - snipes824 June 21, 2020, 17:14:35 i'm more bullish on the 2021 OL than most - illiniranger June 22, 2020, 1:19:28 I like Tyler, the rest are not very good* - JacobRDaugherty June 22, 2020, 21:23:01 The only knowns imo will be Calvin Avery, Keith Randolph, and Kendrick Green. Everything else...* - AyBayBalas June 21, 2020, 14:34:36 I think Seth Coleman will be the best DE this year. Huge believer in him* - JacobRDaugherty June 21, 2020, 17:33:07 not sure he ever gets there - illiniranger June 22, 2020, 1:15:49 I think he will be equal to Bobby Roundtree as a Sophomore - JacobRDaugherty June 22, 2020, 21:22:16 Green very likely to enter the draft after this season, IMO * - jdl June 21, 2020, 17:15:01 He’s gonna need to get a lot better in pass pro if he’s getting drafted in the 2nd or 3rd round* - AyBayBalas June 21, 2020, 18:02:02 is Calvin Avery even a known?* - assassin June 21, 2020, 17:14:01 i don't think so. Demonstrated potential. TBD, wouldn't shock me either way * - illiniranger June 22, 2020, 1:17:10 I think he got much better as the season progressed last year, and he’ll also have to be conditioned - AyBayBalas June 21, 2020, 18:07:50 I worry about him with extra time at home - jayd June 22, 2020, 6:42:57 2-3 wins. OL is going to be an abomination. Nothing else will matter. * - uofi1998 June 21, 2020, 12:42:10 I think they are going to be acceptable OL in 2021 - JacobRDaugherty June 21, 2020, 17:39:27 Do you think Lovie gets fired if that happens?* - AyBayBalas June 21, 2020, 12:44:43 Depends on this year. - uofi1998 June 21, 2020, 13:40:18 This.

He’s here until 2023* - Lord Maximus June 21, 2020, 14:14:46 They’ll lose a ton. 2 Ws is unlikely, but they won’t be super competitive in the B1G - illiniranger June 21, 2020, 12:33:20 Ugh.
