Illini great DEON THOMAS says former coach BRUCE PEARL doesn't belong on TV — and he's right.

The easy narrative is that Keaton Wagler was an unseen, off-circuit recruit.
The real story is a lot more complicated and explains the imperfect art of modern recruiting.
SI Digital Cover on how the world missed Keaton Wagler… and why Illinois didn’t:

Next carry Simeon Rice strips the ball from Powers....leading to the infamous Johnny Johnson to Jim Klein TD pass.....first time ILL. won in Ann Arbor since 1967👍🔶🔷🏈
New Illini running backs coach/former Wolverine Wheatley got hurt during 93 game...leading to Ricky Powers replacing him....Powers runs for 8 yards....looks at the Illini sidelines....taps his wrist as in, 'time ticking away'..💩🏈
Chris Ash the ND defensive coordinator and Bielema r best buddies....this was a nice way of getting rid of Henry between friends...demoting without embarrassing...now can get a professional d coordinator Justin Wilcox, Charlie Bullen, Wink Martindale, Charlie Partridge...👍🏈
ecupirates.com/sports/footb... fun to watch...crazy with the ball at times....just has to sign the papers👍🔶🔷🏈
Illini kicker now in the portal asking price reportedly, 'million a year'....🫤🏈
good teams win...great teams cover....didn't quite get the over/under....💩biggest thing got out of this game...#71 at left tackle for a first start/time he played this year....adequate...gives you hope Ill. has a left tackle next year....👍🔶🔷
some good ol' dumb ass coaching by Tennessee....let Illinois score keep your timeouts...cause the ILL. defense hasn't really been able to stop anyone when it counts...oh well...instead ILL. will bleed the clock and....'million dollar' kicker wins the game....😘🏈
why Stoner was the key....AD 'un-locked' some more 'resources' for Henson/Yates then Jimmy Collins to 'compete' in recruiting👍Aunt Mamie's did some good 'business' in those days😁🏀
