I think he's going to get a few more offers. Looks very talented

Illinois Football Since 1996:

1996 2-9 (1-7)
1997 0-11 (0-8)
1998 3-8 (2-6)
1999 8-4 (4-4)
2000 5-6 (2-6)
2001 10-2 (7-1)
2002 5-7 (4-4)
2003 5-7 (4-4)
2004 3-8 (1-7)
2005 2-9 (0-8)
2006 2-10 (1-7)
2007 9-4 (6-2)
2008 5-7 (3-5)
2009 3-9 (2-6)
2010 7-6 (4-4)
2011 7-6 (2-6)
2012 2-10 (0-8)
2013 4-8 (1-7)

So they have had a winning record 4 times in the past 18 years and a winning record in B1G play 3 times in 18 years. They have gone 2-6 or worse in B1G play 11 of the past 18 years and are 3-21 in the past 3 years.

Tom Cruise was right. This is a truly terrible program.


Oh, and by the way, I didn't mean to hijack this thread. Jamal looks really impressive. Surprised he doesn't have more offers. It looks to me as though a lot of B1G schools are reluctant to recruit certain areas of Chicago, which is very much to our benefit.

Anyway, I would love to see Milan in orange. The good orange, that is; Syracuse orange.

I noticed that line about 'being the best again', too.
They were national champions in the 1920's - back before things like penicillin were discovered.
So, if they're trying to recapture the magic from 90 years ago, that slogan is perfect.

wow didnt realize how unsuccessful they were

Hopefully Rutgers will take over their tradition when they come on board this fall.

They are a football afterthought out here in Chicago. Notre Dame, Northwestern and at least 4-5 other Big 10 programs get more love here than the Illini. Besides our staff themselves, Beckman and his crew are the best thing for SU recruiting in the Chicagoland area

How did Milan's visit go?

How did Milan's visit go?

Very well he was very impressed, might be tough to get him to leave the Midwest however.

 

[Orangejet]

We all agree that Illini football has been real bad in recent years but UI does offer a great B1G education, especially if the student/athlete wants to stay and work in the Chicagoland area.

Beth Long is an SU grad. She does a good job out there in the Midwest covering recruiting for the site that shall remain nameless.

6'3 270 Chicago Al Raby DT Jamal Milan @jmal_is_my_name is expected at #Illinois today.

 

[JLine]

Love his potential, would be great to steal him from B1G country. He needs some work on his technique but who doesn't, plays a bit high at times but he could be real good on the DL with some work. Why not do it at the Cuse, Jamal. I think our track record speaks for itself compared to his other offers. Really want this kid, think he can be great.

Not encouraged by those tweets.

Would love a series with Illinois. Definitely have been a thorn in our side and we've been a big one in theres.

Hopefully it's just the post trip excitement, and another 3 or 4 win season will damper things again. If he wants to stay close to home this could be a problem, especially with Illinois trying to make a big push in state, and the pressure of a couple of the states other top prospects committed there.
