[catdaddyp]

@Blue & Gold is doing an awesome job tracking the 2023 commitments. I didn’t want to keep cluttering up his thread with outstanding offers.

@catdaddyp You're the @Illini Zip for the football section. Huge asset to this board. Thank you for all the time and effort you have put into ZipsNation. This thread is awesome and so much cleaner than tracking this on any other website.

Thanks! Glad to be here. We have a great group of contributors on this site.

All of the 2023 prospects (that I know of) have been updated. Some players will not receive ratings until they commit because Rivals does not want to hurt perception if the prospects are potentially a 2 star by the service.

[catdaddyp]

WR Antwan Mays bumped to a 3 star.
 

Penn commit Emmanuel Deng was given a 2 star. He was offered by Nick Toth who is now at Air Force. I assume Akron’s offer to Deng was honored, but I don’t know for sure.

[catdaddyp]

Impressive play by Safety target Harlem Howard.

 

 

 

Edge target Nnamdi Udeogu. 6’5 with a 7 foot wingspan. Now has P5 offers from Vandy, Syracuse, and Rutgers.

 

 

Jaleel Engleman who also plays DB with an interception.

 

 

Edge target Kion Wright with the sack.

Came across Jarvis Green and Riley Robell who both committed to JMU recently. They had offers from the current staff, so I just added them to the “removed” section. I watched some of Robell’s film and thought to myself “d*** this guy is good and looks like someone we’d offer.” Sure enough we did. Jarvis Green is from the same high school DiMarco Johnson attended in South Carolina. JMU has landed a few guys lately that we offered.

[catdaddyp]

WR Shawn Thigpen says “big announcement coming tomorrow at 1:30pm.” Assuming he is going to commit, but I have no idea where we stand.

I'd sure like to have him commit to us! He's a tall receiver which I think we really need moving forward and he's got an impressive offer list.

Thigpen to Bowling Green. Definitely did not see that one coming. Good for them, they got a good one.

[LZIp]

Does seems to be a real nice get for BG. Hopefully we keep recruiting him because I'm sure he'll decommit once Loeffler gets fired this year.

Real possibility there. BG is so far behind in commitments than the rest of the MAC. Similar to where Arth was at this point last year. Although a few recruits BG has committed are talented.
 

I remember looking at Arth’s recruits and thinking “how is this class going to improve the roster?”

Fisher to West Virginia. Another one that may not stick if Neal Brown doesn’t produce this year.

Edge Micheal Garner is announcing his commitment on 9/17.

He’s really good. I saw him play on Friday. Tall kid w/ great frame. Smooth route runner. St. Ed’s generally double-teamed him, sometimes triple-teamed him.

I hope we land him. Curious to know why he decommitted. I would like to think he saw our passing game and thought “wow, I want to be in that system” but probably just wishful thinking.

3 star WR Mason Humphrey to Lehigh.

Either Candle is in line to leave Toledo and this kid got word, or he's getting P5 looks.
