Can't keep a good loan officer down!! - osklister June 10, 2022, 9:29:45 Swanson got an 84 rating from 247* - illini21 June 9, 2022, 21:19:15 that seems... fine... for what he is - ijustkrushalot June 10, 2022, 9:44:38 Lloyd Carrs grandson (a 5-star qb) just chose ND over Michigan* - illini21 June 9, 2022, 18:52:50 oof* - ECEIllinois June 9, 2022, 22:17:08 So we painted FAMILLY on the turf. huh - ECEIllinois June 9, 2022, 16:36:07 I wish it was slant Illinois font of ‘Littyville’ in the end zone* - OB25 June 9, 2022, 18:43:37 Link to FamILLy caps in the replies - illinijohn June 9, 2022, 18:26:05 tim beckman surely approves* - assassin June 9, 2022, 16:57:42 BEFORE I GET STARTED THERES SOMETHING I NEED YOU TO KNOW ABOUT OUR PROGRAM - biclops June 9, 2022, 18:34:43 Beckhead would trip over it. - osklister June 9, 2022, 18:28:54 ooo - opey8 June 9, 2022, 18:22:08 one of my all-time favorite pics.* - EffinIllini June 10, 2022, 9:57:20 Two things that I found really interesting - Cunativeson June 9, 2022, 8:47:57 I’m getting pretty excited about all the positive vibes around Elzy* - illini21 June 9, 2022, 10:01:06 Agreed. Would be a huge pickup and great optics* - Cunativeson June 9, 2022, 10:45:53 They have changed hotels to something more conducive do their weekend plan - JacobRDaugherty June 9, 2022, 9:38:35 based on the in-room photos last Friday, I think it is the Hyatt Place downtown* - Dilbert June 9, 2022, 9:40:35 Which kinda surprises me given I'm not sure you want them downtown on Friday night - ijustkrushalot June 9, 2022, 9:41:18 How dangerous is downtown now? It used to be uber safe. What happened?* - JacobRDaugherty June 9, 2022, 11:22:21 Oh it's totally ####ing safe - ijustkrushalot June 10, 2022, 7:43:55 There's a complicated answer there - Vandy June 9, 2022, 21:11:08 I spend every Friday night downtown patio drinking, walking around and listening to live music. - Tuscy June 9, 2022, 11:29:08 Yep. For visits I-Hotel has nothing around it.* - SurfTheBoneyard June 9, 2022, 10:45:20 This Ian Jeffries coming in at the end of the month is very appealing. He is really young - JacobRDaugherty June 6, 2022, 19:58:58 Recruiting is improving, up to 13th in average star rankings* - JacobRDaugherty June 6, 2022, 15:55:14 That should go up over time. Harkless is due for a bump based on his offers - Cunativeson June 6, 2022, 16:00:11 Swanson will not help our average star rankings. Harkless should go up - JacobRDaugherty June 6, 2022, 16:17:54 I suppose it depends on how they treat an unrated player* - Cunativeson June 6, 2022, 16:21:31 He will be a low three star. He should a 2 star to me based on competition and that tape - JacobRDaugherty June 6, 2022, 16:39:57 Good a place as any: preview mags are coming out, I think it was Athlons that picked us dead last. - osklister June 6, 2022, 15:14:52 So, sounds like it went pretty well overall? Anyone want to give a glowing, overoptimistic recap - reggiedunlop June 6, 2022, 12:14:53 Assuming this is it, overall pretty well. Would have been great to lock down - UofIL6 June 6, 2022, 12:16:08 Elzy or Moore and it is a grand slam weekend. Moore is extremely good too - JacobRDaugherty June 6, 2022, 12:18:49 Swanson commits - jdl June 6, 2022, 12:02:34 Suck it, Houston Baptist* - bbonb June 6, 2022, 13:37:40 Tape looks good, fast as hell, 70% completion last year - Cunativeson June 6, 2022, 12:19:09 His competition is pretty bad. He is from a mid size Oklahoma school - JacobRDaugherty June 6, 2022, 12:22:55 seems kinda "meh" but I also generally assume our strategy is to have a stable of system guys - ijustkrushalot June 6, 2022, 12:28:52 This one is a tough sell - illini21 June 6, 2022, 13:03:32 My only pass here is Lunney coming in late - snipes824 June 6, 2022, 13:33:49 I agree* - JacobRDaugherty June 6, 2022, 13:37:24 I generally assume we're not going to have a franchise QB under Bert - ijustkrushalot June 6, 2022, 13:06:52 I agree but just don't get it. It's the most valuable position on the field - UofIL6 June 6, 2022, 13:18:11 I’d just prefer not to be going on 7-8 years now where I can count on one hand… - OB25 June 6, 2022, 13:11:08 To me, he is like Cam Thomas type recruit. P5 athlete, may or not be a QB - JacobRDaugherty June 6, 2022, 12:49:21 Harkless.....boom - UofIL6 June 5, 2022, 20:09:56 Harkless.... never ever ever out of control. * - osklister June 6, 2022, 9:52:38 Man that is bonerific* - illini21 June 5, 2022, 20:47:42 wow. that's massive. huge offer list, huge position of need* - snipes824 June 5, 2022, 20:11:09 Great to get some DL offers committed * - ATL June 5, 2022, 20:18:23 Holy shot!

Kid was blowing up* - Cunativeson June 5, 2022, 20:11:56 Dots - Cunativeson June 5, 2022, 20:09:54 Going to be some nail biting for Elzy/Hill/Harkless/Tonielli - UofIL6 June 5, 2022, 19:13:11 The Bret signal has been lit! - Cunativeson June 5, 2022, 19:06:14 it's pat farrell - snipes824 June 5, 2022, 19:11:46 there are as many responses to this post as he had other P5 offers - snipes824 June 5, 2022, 19:29:25 I liked his '22 bat signal better. Needs a .gif of some sort* - UofIL6 June 5, 2022, 19:08:31 Looks like something is about to pop again..... - illinidarrin June 5, 2022, 17:52:24 and this.... - illinidarrin June 5, 2022, 17:53:44 I wonder if Pat Farrell commits this weekend or Illinois moves on* - JacobRDaugherty June 5, 2022, 10:12:19 BEAT WYOMING IN WEEK ZERO* - Poldark June 5, 2022, 8:05:03 saw a dia golf cart on quad with someone on it Friday morning but no idea who. *cool story bruh* - lcubed June 5, 2022, 7:55:20 Rico Jackson has joined the chat* - ijustkrushalot June 5, 2022, 7:48:14 6’6 295 that’s a big dude* - illini21 June 5, 2022, 8:29:51 Wonder what that means for Brandon Henderson* - UofIL6 June 5, 2022, 8:22:06 I would still take Henderson no problem* - JacobRDaugherty June 5, 2022, 8:29:10 Can’t recruit DL, so over recruit OL and move some guys* - jayd June 5, 2022, 11:11:09 Usually works better the other direction * - jdl June 5, 2022, 17:55:37 Barge. Formation. * - ijustkrushalot June 5, 2022, 8:36:39 Yes!
