Illinois offers 10 year old football scholarship
"Despite his age, Bunchie already has scholarship offers from Illinois and one mystery Pac-12 team, according to Evans, who trains more than 150 youth athletes at his LacedFacts Training center in Norwalk, California, a suburb of Los Angeles."

I've been wondering when we're going to offer Denard Robinson Cook.
Seriously, a lot of these coaches aren't even going to be at their jobs by the time these kids are actually old enough to go to college. What are the odds an Illinois coach lasts that long?
October 24th, 2017 at 4:13 PM ^
The kid is better than half of the Illinois team already.
October 24th, 2017 at 4:29 PM ^
we offer QB John Edward Thomas Moynahan, one hopes...
October 24th, 2017 at 4:34 PM ^
Can this kid play RT?
October 24th, 2017 at 4:03 PM ^
Id do it
October 24th, 2017 at 4:06 PM ^
How about we don't creepily objectify a woman on the internet?
October 24th, 2017 at 4:10 PM ^
Please don't let this thread turn into some back-and-forth on this one gif...ugh

Upvoted for trolling a superbowl boycotter because of JT.
Edit: To be clear, if you are concerned about JT performing at the super bowl, you're an embarrassment to humanity. Go root for Wesleyan's football team.

No, sorry, I won't. This is a Michigan blog, right? We're better than "Id do it" in response to a picture of a college-aged female. Leaders and best, etc.
October 24th, 2017 at 6:45 PM ^
October 24th, 2017 at 8:59 PM ^
nah, that was a bad comment and deserve to be called out. "it"? come on.
the upvote ratios on these posts is really disheartening.
October 25th, 2017 at 4:53 AM ^
October 24th, 2017 at 4:29 PM ^
"it?"
October 24th, 2017 at 4:53 PM ^
That's a master class in how to react if you happen to notice that you're being posterized as [Insert Team Name Here] sad fan. Hopefully all of the Michigan fans reading can learn from this, and govern themselves accordingly if there is ever reason to be sad at a game.
October 24th, 2017 at 5:10 PM ^
not this...
or this...
or this...

Recruiting: Even more creepy.
October 24th, 2017 at 3:59 PM ^
I read this yesterday. Kid has bad-ass hair and a six-pack.
October 24th, 2017 at 4:14 PM ^
Six-pack of juice boxes?
October 24th, 2017 at 4:19 PM ^
it's all about the 10 pack
October 25th, 2017 at 1:44 PM ^
Only the 1%-ers can afford that size.
October 24th, 2017 at 4:00 PM ^
ESPN's article are now 2/3s pictures. Sheesh
October 24th, 2017 at 4:03 PM ^
I love how my brain fills in the audio like I'm actually listening to that one.

Kids like Havon Finney Jr., who, at 9 years old, has an offer from Nevada and an Instagram following of nearly 22,000.
This is real life and not the Onion?
October 24th, 2017 at 4:04 PM ^
early enrolee? they could use all the help they can get
October 24th, 2017 at 4:05 PM ^
Illinois can't even be first in offering a 10-yr old kid a scholarship. Poor damn, Illinois.
October 24th, 2017 at 4:10 PM ^
The kid could probably start for them now.
October 24th, 2017 at 4:14 PM ^
So stupid to guess what a 10 year old will be like at 16, let alone 21
October 24th, 2017 at 4:15 PM ^
David Sills?
October 24th, 2017 at 5:04 PM ^
candidate David Sills to you bud.
October 24th, 2017 at 5:31 PM ^
Exactly
October 24th, 2017 at 4:16 PM ^
October 24th, 2017 at 4:29 PM ^
I watched this too many times trying to figure out what was going on on the field before I decided that this has to be a punt.
October 24th, 2017 at 4:52 PM ^
The kid is blind... Nice man
October 24th, 2017 at 6:56 PM ^
Kid has a Florida offer already.
October 25th, 2017 at 12:15 AM ^
October 25th, 2017 at 9:52 AM ^
Damn, that's cold.
Accurate, but still ... cold.

Given his tenure so far Lovie is pretty optimistic about how long he's going to be at Illinois.
October 24th, 2017 at 4:24 PM ^
Lovie might be putting the cart before the horse, here.
October 24th, 2017 at 4:58 PM ^
It's worse than that - the cart and the horse aren't even in the same bloody town in this case.
There are times when I ask myself if recruiting has gone too far in some respects. Probably a stupid thing to wonder, but I do.
October 24th, 2017 at 4:34 PM ^
Should have a 2 hair minimum on ball requirement before an offer goes out.
October 24th, 2017 at 4:48 PM ^
Asking for a friend
October 24th, 2017 at 4:57 PM ^
and can't believe what it is coming to. It states Nevada offered a 9 year old. Hell soon we will be studding out former great players and offer their unborn sons scholarships.
How does anyone know what a 10year old will be like in 7-8 years? Hell he could top out at 5'5" and 140lbs. This is just crazy.
