I normally don’t do this, but I’m pretty certain we passed on him.

Reason being what?

Great place for him to spend a semester not going to class.

Juice wasn’t worth the squeeze apparently

From what I understand, if we had offered and he signed and did not qualify, it wou;d have taken a spot. Illini is desperate and can afford to take the risk he doesn’t get the waiver. We had too few spaces to risk it.

Is that really even a question?

Maybe the coaches did not want to messed with this player due to past problems and might try to bring down Missouri because of who he is? I rather pass on him and Missouri is not in a need for another wide receiver. Also would rather use the spot for someone better on the second signing day.

Apparently he committed to the Illinois coaches over a month ago. I’m not too mad about his decision, he seems like he could have caused some issues

We won’t miss him.

Per Gabe on PM:
"Missouri really didn't have room for him, but they would have taken him at first. However, as the process went on, it wasn't going to happen. Illinois is in a position where it probably needs to take a risk like this. Missouri isn't."

Everything I've heard says he doesn't play this year.
