Illinois Fighting Illini (you'll see)

[LovelandBuckeye]

Just wait (you'll see). He's booking his Rose Bowl and NC tickets now.

It's a wrap!

Re: Kendrick Nunn Unofficial Visit on Thursday

Whoever says Nunn isn't a stud and an elite player is kidding themselves. He doesn't take over games because he doesn't have to, but he's definitely capable. He's not 5'11 either, more like 6'1, and his game improves every year. I haven't even mentioned the freaky athleticism. If they get Nunn, and then follow up with Parker, etc. then you can book your NC tickets soon. I would bet on it.

Also read that he has run a 10.6-10.7 100 yard dash. That's pretty fast. I like this offer a lot. Hopefully he commits soon and gets the momentum rolling for staying home in-state (And in his city...Augusta is blowing up nationally and I'm still hopeful on LTT). I see all these artlcles like the one with stud 2014 GA S Nick Glass committing to Georgia and many others doing the same in their home state, and in the articles they're all citing "staying home, representing, winning a championship" as their reason for staying. I wonder what the Illinois guys are waiting on. People already doubt Illinois as a football state as it is (Including some on this board). Why not get together and show them wrong, put Illinois on the map in football. I guess they all don't think like me though. Hopefully guys like Bailey, Pocic, Foster, Augusta, Mosley, Jackson, Treadwell, Goebal, Keeler, etc. etc. realize that they can win a NC at home if they all stay.

Yep. Perfect QB to lead the Illini NC status (Certainly one or more BCS games). I think Bailey should be a 5 star. He's that good. If he commits to the Illini soon that would be huge.

Faithfully consistent Kid. I hope he verbals so I can see some ultimate kool-aid predictions.....spiked with a sh!tload of everclear. it's been a while since we have seen a 12-0 prediction. I forget the last one you had though it centered around 3 out of 4 BCS appearances. What were the specifics of that one, I forget?
​

I'm not going to go back to the past, but I will say this:

If they get Bailey along with Pocic, Treadwell, etc. then expect those predictions to come back. If they do that in addition to grabbing guys like Augusta (Has blown up nationally with offers like Oklahoma, ND, Michigan, etc.), Jackson (He's next...a young Vince Wilfork...watch a lot of programs offer when they see his film), Darius Mosley, etc. on defense then those expectations will go up even more. Obviously they will need to add a lot more players of that type of quality, but those guys would be a hell of a start. And I should add that it's not a matter of if they will get those types of guys...they will. It's going to be interesting to see how this class unfolds, because I think it'll be a monster both in-state and out of state.

God bless that doofus. Two "unranked" commits so far this year, zero 4* commits in 2012, 1 in 2011, 1 in 2010 (who's no longer with the program), and the National Championships are coming with their 21-16 MAC coach. In both football and basketball. Book it. I'm starting to think he might really be trolling them. And if he is, he's one of the best ever.

BTW, "LloydCarrIsSmegma" is, quite possibly, the best message board handle EVER.

Well, there are but none of them are politically correct. Not even close.

 

[BuckeyeNation27]

he HAS to be trolling them. there's just no other explanation.

IF ThaKid were an advertisement:

 

[NFBuck]

he HAS to be trolling them. there's just no other explanation.

I'm seriously starting to believe he is. Nobody can possibly be that stupid and still manage to string an actual sentence together. Well, I guess it's possible if he's, like, 12 or 13...but wasn't he starting college when he was posting here a few years ago?

...and for today's gems...

In response to his wildly improbable predictions above, from my favorite handle "LloydCarrIsSmegma":

I have big reservations with this staff and recruiting. We have heard they are good recruiters but we don't exactly have 4* studs beating down the door to verbal. We are all Illinois fans but lets be honest. These guys have an up the hill battle to sell the program. Even after a 14-12 recond and 2 bowl wins over the past two seasons, which is respectable.....we still are waiting for that first stud. IMO it needs to happen sooner rather than later. We need one guy to get started. Maybe someone like Bailey can be that pied piper that we need

Mmmmmmm, koolaid...

I don't have doubts at all. All you have to do is look at the track record of these guys, specifically Beckman, Beatty and Gonzales. I know the studs will come. Let's not forget it's still very early. All they need is that first major domino and I think it's coming soon whether it's Pocic, Bailey, Augusta, or someone like that. It's coming though. I know it is.

Now, pardon my potential ignorance, but what "track record" does Tim Beckman have, exactly? Speaking of track records...I think thakid is batting right around .056 on his predictions the past 4-5 years, so...

Also, Pocic? Keep dreaming little fella.

The first domino is coming, you guys. He knows it is.

I found this amusing when rereading this thread.

 

[wadc45]

The funny thing is Illini fans used to think he was some sort of "insider"...like he was connected to the program of something.

Now they've realized he isn't playing with a full deck.

 

[NFBuck]

Two new commits:

NR RB Kendrick Foster (other offer: Illinois State)

Kid?

Also a 10.57 100 and 6.55 55 meter dash. I didn't know he had that much speed but definitely a good pickup. I expect them to add another very good RB or two and bring in a great class overall. Recruiting is really heating up for the Illini.

Four commits, all "NR" so far. Recruiting is really HEATING UP!!!11!!!!1!!

NR OH TE Christian DiLauro (other offer: Akron)

From a thread titled "Is 8-4 a stretch this year?":

I wouldn't be surprised with 9 or 10 wins.

Only 9 or 10 wins? Kid's growing cynical in his old age.

About Terry Hawthorne...whoever the fuck that is...nm, former **** (the last one to commit to them) receiver from '09 class, who has apparently been banged up

Hawthorne has put together a very solid college career but people haven't given him his due. He's going to emerge as a true elite national player this year IMO. He's going to help the Illini win in a big way this year IMO. 10+ wins.

Very solid career = not registering a single statistic in 3 seasons.

9 or 10, or 10+...which is it lil fella?

 

[NFBuck]

I see that Hawthorne has apparently moved to CB. He was decent as a frosh in 2009, limited to 8 games as a SO in 2010, had 60 tackles & 3 INT last year...so I'll cut kid some slack there...I'd give him "decent"..."very solid" might be a stretch with only 5 INT over 3 years mostly as a starter.

I'm going to ding you every time you post in this thread and don't include the phrase "Just wait. You'll see."
