IHSA 2025: Could this be the The Best Talent ever?

[EdgyTim]

In all seriousness.....with the upcoming 2025 season approaching just take a look at several of the top kids from the 2026/2027 and 2028 classes who already have serious high level offers and commitments. I've been trying to tell others not in Illinois that the next few seasons could be an all time record for Power 4 level talent here....just a look at the CCL alone and we are talking about a TON of kids already with offers.

Class of 2027- So far we are listing 41 kids with offers.

Class of 2028- So far we have 10 kids listed with offers and I'm expecting several of those names to emerge this early summer.

Lots to talk about and to look forward towards over the next few years.

I'm glad you said this, because I thought I was getting carried away. Some of these individuals are potentially generational also

Last years QB’s (fantastic class) seem like an appetizer for what is hitting the field this upcoming year

Imagine if Johnson-Cook was still an IHSA kid.

No question and who knows I've seen kids come back home in the past......

I do think the talent level is much higher, but aren't more offers going out in general?

High School Football saw a big increase post COVID. Flag football and travel 7-7 has helped HS players get better quicker.

It seems like with the transfer portal and these kids pulling commitments left and right and bouncing schools, offers and being made at a unbelievably high rate and they all can't be commitable offers.

Believe half of what you see and none of what you hear when it comes to Twitter. So many young kids have these huge offers as freshman and sophs only end up at lower-level schools or walking after their HS career is done. The amount of less than truthful Tweets is staggering.

Is it less than truthful tweets or less than truthful offers?

No actually less overall but they are definitely going out earlier

Edgy, how much reclassifying (hold backs) are you seeing currently? It seems to be gaining a lot of momentum in many sports.

Some private football position coaches are really pushing this right now as the key to getting a scholarship. I guess when you are paying that much money you will do what ever they say.

“Fake offers”
Without naming anyone

A scandal like this took place a few years ago and it caused a lot of embarrassment for everyone involved

Remember Kevin Hart?
