I completely agree with your assessment of Watson as a prospect.  I absolutely love his film, and would think he would be the best prospect we bring in this class.  And I absolutely love Moskal and Franklin's film.  imo they are 1-2 prospect wise so our LBer haul would be absolutely ridiculous if wer can get him.  That's not even mentioning Bennett who may be the fastest of all the LBers.  Shafers has said he feels strong LBer play is the key to attacking these spread offenses so if we can get prospects like this we will be that much better.

Anyways my rationale behind the Illinois OV being a good thing for us is just because his original plan coming out of the dead period was to take OV's to Syracuse 1/17, and Illinois 1/24.  So it contradicts that ESPN article that came out after his Syracuse OV saying he is all KU and shutting down his recruitment.  When he left Syracuse Sunday allegedly we were in VERY good position for him.  I just can't see completely changing his mind 3 days later.  He has been real private all along, and seemingly going out of the way to protect KU (which could ultimately hurt them).  Anyways to see he is still taking visits shows that he's still not completely sold on KU.  If he goes to Illinois and has as good of a time Ishmael had (said Syracuse was WAY better), then it could even further open Watson's eyes.

Then again who knows I could be totally off base, and he will stick to his commitment.  I am not counting us out just quite yet though
