All fair, and surely true on young*
 Previous Message not sold on a guy being able to play consistently in the B1G under 200 barring he's crazy fast. Feagin, McCray, and Vaughn, who all contributed as FR, were at or well above 200 as FR. Donovon Young would have been north of 200 i would bet. Previous Message
...plus (for now) the kid who may flip to Alabama, and the kid from Nebraska seems like he will commit to Illinois.
I think they're looking at one of the kids in this year's freshman class as an every down kind of back... the one from NJ, I believe.
Best guess... we'll see what happens this year, and they'll find a way to fill the hole in the portal if we don't have what we need going into 2026.
