Morton High 2027 6’6’’, 310 pound offensive lineman Soren Fifer commits to Illinois. Fifer got late offers from Oregon and Indiana but Illinois was first offer and always his top choice. First Mid-Illini recruit for Illini football since I believe 1999

I've been saying on my radio show I was so confident Andrej Stojakovic was coming back to Illinois--because right after that Final Four team photo--Andrej raced over to get his photo with Coach Underwood. I asked him during the tourney about Underwood pushing him all season

I LOVE how Brad Underwood always speaks so highly of his 10 years as a Western Illinois assistant coach and his time as a JUCO coach. All a big part of his special Final Four journey.
