WR prospects picks Illini football over ND, OSU, UM, NU, OU

By

Illini football coach Tim Beckman has not accomplished much in Champaign. That is not news. His 45-17 drubbing of Cincinnati was nice though, as the Bearcats were a really good team that went on to play in their conference championship. That game was Becks' lone signature win in two years. Landing A.D. Miller would be his recruiting equivalent of that. The 6'4" wide receiver … [Read more...] about WR prospects picks Illini football over ND, OSU, UM, NU, OU
