Sounds like Illinois will pursue Notre Dame transfer Mykelti Williams.
There are two scholarships still open so they may look at a couple of other 5th year kids too. Possibly a lineman or quarterback.
There are still a couple 2016 signees that admissions is working on.
Illinois reached out to 4-star DE AJ Epenesa. He's still solid to Iowa.
RB Mike Epstein is taking visits. Lovie Smith talked to him and I think Illinois feels better about him sticking now.
All of the 2017 offers were reviewed. There are some that the new staff really likes, but others that they will re-evaluate this spring.
I know they really like Wagner, Smalling, Robertson, Oladipo, May, Mitchell, and Treadwell among the in-state kids.
Academics continue to be a concern for WR Jeff Thomas and OL Kevin Jarvis.
As I mentioned before, Lovie won't appoint an assistant coach as recruiting coordinator. They will have a Director of Player Personnel in charge in the recruiting office.
There are some new out of state kids to watch. They are going after top kids right now and trying to add speed. I'll post a list later once we sift through them.
