Recruiting Football Talk VIII

5 days after Altmeyer announced at Tennessee and Illinois basketball game that he was staying, Illinois took a QB from the transfer portal. That QB was Ethan Hampton, who was the starter for Northern Illinois last season and who had played a lot in the seasons before. I wonder if this upset Altmeyer and made him more open to leaving?

Ah. Now it makes sense.

A lot of smoke that weezer's Dad was a Sasquatch!

This might just be me but it doesn't make sense for Hampton to transfer to Illinois unless he was promised playing time. He originally committed to Wake Forest out of the portal to be their starter before Clawson retired.

Mine was a poor post.
I should have been clear about what I was referring to.
Altmyer's announcement that you alluded to and the same one that I posted a video of, was pretty emphatic that he was staying at Illinois and it didn't make sense to me that he would renege after all the love he was shown.
But, I was unaware that they brought in Hampton after Altmyer's announcement. So, yeah, I can see how that might change a young man's mind.

May need to rethink the Saturday starter

So much promise. I’ve been rooting for the guy, like all of us. [loud exhale]

I didn’t watch this one. (I usually do.) Idk what happened. I also don’t understand 1 run on offense. Just a weird baseball day? Weird days happen.

The two runs were unearned by Kentucky. Phillips had 9 strikeouts thru 5 innings. This deficit is on the defense not Phillips..

Interesting.

 

[Orange.]

Nope it’s baseball. 1 pitcher can be dealin’ and beat anybody

OK, that I understand.

A lot of coaches don't believe in a slide step. He will have to get faster to home plate though.

Including Frank. And, yep.

Being serious, I don't think we get a big name like Altmyer. My guess is their schools pony up to keep them and avoid the exact situation we're facing. We're just getting some kids raises. We'll bring in a "depth" guy, which I'm not even sure is worth it. Several other positions we could try and upgrade at if we're not getting a clear cut #1 QB.

That's the same thing that happens during head coaching searches
