CU got two hearts!!! Giggity

 

[Buffnik]

Beason is an absolute stud. 4 TDs tonight.

 

[TDforTD]

Committed to Illinois, who is the current favorite for 5* ATH Isaiah Williams as well.

Anything to make Nebraska’s life tougher

 

[FLounder]

Illinois is cheating. Boosters getting these boys the bags.

I look forward to him signing elsewhere

 

[Johnny Juzang]

They've promised him he can play DB. Hiring Gill Byrd as secondary coach is paying dividends.

Never underestimate the power of the NFL brand they brought in. They have assembled a good staff. Will it equal wins? Who knows. I do know they have kids talking. It's a retooled brand for Illinois.

They also hired Williams' HS coach a few months ago. The last time Illinois had a QB named Isaiah Williams, it was the guy they called Juice. About 10 years ago.

Oh, and they've told Williams they'll keep him at QB.

 

[Not Sure]

A kid with those offers ends up at Illinois?


Hmmmmmmmmm.

 

[Johnny Juzang]

Illinois is at the top of Williams' list for a couple of reasons:

They hired his HS coach.

They're bringing him in as a QB. Nebraska was the only other school that promised that.

 

[Duff Man]

Worth noting Illinois signed two players from Beason's high school in this past class.
