My sleeping programs have been North Carolina, Washington, and Illinois.  I've thought they all could get to 9 wins on average with the right coach and some aid from management.  UW has a decent program as it is.  UNC has an "OK" program. 

Colorado will be interesting of course.
I feel like the quality of Illinois talent isn’t THAT deep? It’s fine, but not super deep. And it’s touched on by a ton of programs. It’s like of Georgia had a 10th the talent and UGA had a 15th the brand value.

Correct. There is some really high quality at the top, and then a drop. Here is a list of 4* and 5* players. After that it's all 3* or less.

That could well be, and you have so many other B1G programs close by spreading the wealth as it were also.

Washington doesn't face that as much.  North Carolina does some, but that state produces more talent.

Spring football just wrapped up in SW FL. There is no spring ball up North.

I guess when a 4 star OT from Illinois commits down south, it's a sign.  

(I just looked, only 5 of UGA's 2024 17 commits are from the state.  Aside from AL and FL, I see AZ CA NY Iowa! MO CT! and NY!!!).  That never would have happened 20 years ago.)

Look at Wisconsin. This does not happen 5 years ago. Granted, of the ones lost, only Sexton had a Wisconsin offer, and it came too late. The old staff offered all of these kids, but the new staff pulled them. 

Roy's brother plays at UCLA, and he did not grow up in Wisconsin. He still has his offer, but I doubt he's a Badger.

My rationale really is that UI is the "flagship" in a populous state that must surely have some decent HS football around somewhere.  
Yeah... But I think people from Atlanta identify as Georgians. People from Cincinnati identify as Ohioans. 

People from Chicago don't identify with Illinois. They identify as Chicagoans.

This.

People ask where I'm from and I don't say Illinois. I say Chicago, and they might ask which part. Sox fan or Kubbs? 

I'm sure you're the same way.

100%. Always respond with "I'm from Chicago." I don't even say "the Midwest". 

I used to say that Chicago wasn't really Midwestern; it's just located there. But then I met people from SF & LA, and yeah, Chicago is definitely a BIT Midwestern lol...

My rationale really is that UI is the "flagship" in a populous state that must surely have some decent HS football around somewhere.  Today it seems to be a complete afterthought even for 3 star folks.  Find yourself an athletic QB who is slated to play safety at Ohio State and put him behind center and adapt your offense to suit.

Blitz on every down from weird angles.


Juice Williams?

Is this a legit place or just making shit up and tricking Phoenix people?


It's right by my friend's house.  Looks like it's a sliders place, not a full-sized burger joint.  I always mean to try it, just haven't yet.

Some Atlantans are ashamed of the state (Tech fans mostly)…

Obviously I haven't tried it, but the Vienna hot dog and Italian beef sandwich at least have the right description on the menu.
