I have a question for you guys. I've seen your's and Ball State fans' posts about Edgytim.com in the past. It looks like it is a site geared toward Illinois high school recruits. Is that accurate? I see that they have a poll over there about who had the best recruiting class (ND, UI, NW, or NIU). Do they try to cover NIU recruiting fairly well? This seems like the new site of Rivals, Ohiovarsity.com. They are covering all of the Ohio MAC schools really well and I was just curious (for the future) if this site tries to cover you guys and Illinois high school recruits. UT didn't hit Chicago at all this year which was surprising, but I'm sure it will not be the norm.

Yeah, Edgy Tim has been covering IL HS football since I was in school during the late 90's and he has been a Rivals partner for quite some time. Does an excellent job on prospect coverage, even for 1-AA, DII and DIII schools. He is very thorough and speaks highly of NIU as well.

Tim O'Haloran, AKA Edgytim, does a fantastic job of covering Illinois High School football. He is very dedicated to the kids and doing whatever he can to help them get recognition for playing at the next level. His web site doesn't favor any school over the other. The poll is just a little something put there to get other posters' feedback on how the local colleges did with recruiting. He definitely is more about the players then anything.

Edgy is the absolute man, he gives so many kids and so many schools coverage, and does a great job with his rankings.

The Illinois kids UT offered early were very high profile:Williams,James,Johnson,etc.Then Bryant and Hill.Very glad the Rockets were able to sign Hill.
