'10 IL WR Kyle Prater

"The best player on the football field today without a doubt," Crabtree said. "He has improved since the Army combine, and that is hard to imagine because he was incredible down there. He is so fast out of his breaks; he was great against press coverage. He was so quick off the ball. That was one of the most impressive performances I have seen at a NIKE camp in awhile."

From Michael Crabtree... It looks like Prater is going to give #1 WR Darius White a run for his money...
 
Illinois got same crazy talent this year. This must be one of their best years for recruiting. Seems like they have an inordinate number of elite kids for 2009.

Hillside (Ill.) Proviso West standout Kyle Prater can kiss his four-star status good-bye. He was already considered a leading candidate to move up into the five-star pool, but Saturday's performance makes the promotion an easy decision.

same article Vader2 was referring to.
 
Per Rivals... He completely dominated the Nike Camp in Illinois today... We have to get a QB to compete with Blake Bell at Oklahoma in order to get this guy...
He looked great, but I'm not sure dominate would be the word I would use. A lot of the guys there looked pretty good. He looked sharp and was the best receiver there.

I was actually right beside Crabtree during the interview and spoke with him briefly after the interview.

Their quarterback was definitely the best one there. I met him about the same time they were interviewing Prater.

There was another receiver there...I didn't get his name. He looked like a great athlete, but he went about the camp with a bit of an attitude. I wish I had got his name.
 
Scroggins, Ambles, Pratter, and Milton..

Or has Jesse already commited, been away for about a week or so..

And a suprise commit...

From...

S. Henderson!

What a second year class. offensively anyway.

** with a few more O linemen of course.

I was just re-telling what it said in the article. Crabtree was the one who said he dominated and was easily the best player on the field. He also said it was the best performance that he has seen in a Nike camp in a while...
 
I understand. It was a pretty good performance out of Prater, no doubt. Definitely the best of the receivers I'd say. With his size and ability, I don't know why he's a 4 star. I went to see Bourbon, but I ended up watching quarterbacks and receivers most of the time.

Still, I'd say I liked the performance out of that QB commitment for the Illini better than anything else I saw. He was very sharp.
 
We definitely need to get a QB to commit before any of these top-tier WRs take us seriously, IMO.
 
Thats why Mr Scroggins is so important.

Absolutely right man. Scroggins is the most important recruit right now. I do believe Kiffin and co would want him to commit on the spot or in the near future so they can either move on to another quaterback or try to fill other offensive positions around scroggins. This guy may be a long shot im not sure but if we could land jesse that would definitely help our chances with him and the other big time offensive recruits.

The end of the month is going to be another key period in recruiting for this class.
 
Scroggins would help the most, but Brunetti isn't unheard of. He is the #1 DQB, #7 QB overall, and the #110 overall player. Compare that to Scroggins who is the #6 QB and the #100 overall player. Just going on "name" and rating, Brunetti could be useful here as well...

Scroggins = Really no pipeline other than his school. Dion Bailey would be nice, but he's not a priority.

Brunetti = Memphis pipeline. Picking him up would really help with turning more heads in Memphis.
 
both would be awesome. What we need is #1 a QB, #2 some QB competition

“I just got a text from Kyle and he’s narrowed his list down,” O’Halloran said. “His top 10 in no particular order is Illinois, Oklahoma, USC, Michigan, Tennessee, Notre Dame, Alabama, Auburn, Missouri, and Miami.”
