kshoe Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 I hate to be the pessimist in the group but I'll believe it when I see it. Frank is a great cheerleader for the Bills but he's more often wrong then right so no matter how plugged in he is I'll wait to get too excited. Still, things are trending well.

JMM28 Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 I'm impressed Ford was able to get back in the race. Even if Goodwin goes elsewhere it says a lot about Fords prowess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bills_06 Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Some solid replies from Illinois fans to Frank's tweet. Would be enjoyable to see their reaction to lose a recruit to SLU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westy03 Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Where is Goodwin on the majority of the rankings? Top 50? Top 100? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slufan13 Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 This momentum has been growing for a while now. Unless everyone is getting their info from the same source and that source ends up being wrong, it appears Goodwin will be a Billiken.

Unless everyone is getting their info from the same source and that source ends up being wrong, it appears Goodwin will be a Billiken. Especially from the day Tate was hired. This is one recruitment where I think some on this board are able to get information from those beyond just the coaching staff, so some appear to be hearing good things from the coaching staff (who are always going to think they are in good shape with their primary recruiting targets) and others are hearing things from those close to the recruit and both are pointing in the same direction. Frank often oversells the local programs with regards to recruiting since I think he is more plugged in with the coaching staffs than the recruits (both SLU and Mizzou), but this is one I think he has a good read on. But I do think his sources are within the athletic department (Ford and Tate and other minions around the AD). I like that Frank is more direct in kind of pushing the local programs when interviewing the local studs, lets keep these kids home and build something special on the court at SLU and on the gridiron at Mizzou.

RUBillsFan Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 I'm a little worried that this is going to be like Frank's Tatum thing and the "good news" is going to be that his final 2 are SLU and Illinois. Despite everyone assuming as much, I don't think Goodwin has announced anything publicly and the last update from him was his final seven.

Messing with the Illini fans is going to be a lot of fun for us. No matter how much they want to rip us, they can't be 100% sold that Groce will be around a year from now. We have about 3 months to really make things miserable for Illinois fans since they seem to be hanging their hats on the 5 star big man from ESL.
