I wonder if it's Illinois. They took Shammond Cooper from STL last year, and like us they're fighting for a pipeline into the area.

Plus it's right on the heels of his visit there.

They have a staff member who coached at Trinity and has real pull in that community.

If he does decommit, I wouldn't expect him to sign with Illinois. Another four win season won't be a good look for them.

I honestly can’t remember the last time Illinois fielded a good team. Any notable NFL players or college greats in the last decade from there?  Wonder what the pitch is other than stay at home?

The Mookie thing sucks. But we also were about to lose Washington/Shepherd/Watson/Grandy/Hookfin in the last two years before the staff pulled it off. And Bru on top of that. Keep pursuing Mookie because there's no reason not to.

Yeah let's just take all the guys that are easy. I'm sure that wouldn't lead to a Mack 2.0 situation.

People that don't like drama shouldn't get too invested in recruiting. You can't land elite classes without it.

His old college coach is coaching at Illinois and a few of his teammates are going there. Some guys I can think of from Illinois in the NFL would be Corey Liuget, Whitney Merculls, Geronimo Allison, Tavon Wilson and Jeff Allen. Those are just some guys I can think of playing recently in the NFL.

There’s a difference between a Bru recruitment and a Jordan Elliott recruitment. Neither was easy.

Juice Williams and Rashard Mendenhall took them to a Rose Bowl not too long ago. Not sure if Williams made it to the league but I know Mendenhall did.
