There are several P5 programs in Texas so that is not particularly weird.

Of the 7 decommits before that, 5 were from the SEC. 

 

If you felt the need to post this arbitrary nonsense on  2/24 ::

 4 of the past 5 decommits were from the SEC 

 

Goddamn, EJ is fucking worthless.

Illinois just bought a kid we'd been recruiting for a long, long time. Whatever pipeline we had into that area is on life support until we start playing the game as well.

Eh. Not paying for players isn’t going to ruin our relationship with schools. Plus, Missouri is nice, sure, but not necessary.

What's the basis for saying he took cash? If all we know is that he visited and quickly changed his commitment, it's pretty aggy of us to accuse him of taking cash. He's a kid who probably has very little experience making real life decisions. For all we know, he got caught up in the moment of the visit. We've seen that before. We risk alienating these recruits if we attack their integrity every time someone changes his mind.

You may need to read further up the thread.  Lots of stories regarding the Illini recruitment of the Beason kid from Duncanville last year.

Super K (Football Brainiacs writer) thinks Umanmielen (4-star Manor DE) will make a decision in April or May.  And it also sounds like our new pal the Grinch (new OU DC Alex Grinch) is still going strong (he has a reputation as a terrible recruiter) as K said OU is now behind in his recruitment.

This is all optics to trick gullible recruits and vaginas like you. 

That extension actually made it cheaper for Illinois to fire him. Oldest trick in the book.

This. Extension plus killing the buyout is the sign a coach is getting fired the next year if he doesn't produce. Granted for Illinois that just means bowling probably, but can Lovie do that? Probably not. Even if he can, the fact that those are your goals is pretty pathetic

Smith - 1 post-season appearance and 1 post-season win in the past 11 seasons

Herman - 1 post-season appearance and 1 post-season win in the past 10 weeks

The choice is clear - go play for a bottom 4 B10 coach/program?
