Thanks for the tip. I will try that out tonight to some of my locals.

I need a K so I have one coming to visit this week. The early playing time has him interested. LOL

i'm a witness that pass rush problem can be solved with good players. I recruited like 4 defensive ends after year. one 4 star and three 3 star guys and i have more sacks so far than I probably had all last year. I think my leader last year had 5 as a senior. My 4 star freshman DE has 5 through 3 games.

Illinois has a real 5* Freshman Martez Wilson who is a STUD in this game. It's nice to see the great Dline actually having an impact.

Yeah, Jistic is right in that they are pissed cause they have little interest in you. What I do whenever I call a recruit and he is pissed is I first Hard Sell him on a pitch that he likes (his High, Very High, or Most) and I am Great, Excellent or Elite on that pitch. He then starts grinning and I move on to unlock some other pitch. If you don't do this there's a good chance he hangs up on you before you can get a word in.

Why is it "Most" and "Least" rather than "Highest" and "Lowest"?

More of a rhetorical question.

Ok, then they should have made it an actual redshirt year and he should have been a redshirt Freshman the next season, but he's not, he is a sophomore.
