They have played ball together for years growing up and had decided that they were going to go to the same school. Illinois wanted both but apparently they felt more loved in Eugene. I won't miss Humphrey personally, but Dunigan will be a very good player. Like Dal said, you can you can go to youtube and pull up videos of these kids or subscribe to sites and get footage of these kids. My least favorite thing about the site is reading the fans just tear these kids for choosing certain schools or not choosing certain schools. Most of these players nobody has ever even seen play including myself. I don’t know how the Illini didn’t land Dunigan and Humphrey.

I couldn't even imagine what the top recruits are going through, having highlight footage put on Youtube. They become celebrities before they even play a college game. There cell phone bills become outragous, and they have to put there numbers as unlisted in hopes to not get calls every sec. of every day. I was glad to hear that the NCAA banned coaches from texting recruits. Years ago when I was a senior in High School, I remember being annoyed when I would hear from coaches that were recruiting me every single day. That was me, and I was in no way a high recruit. I mean I had two schools basically gunning for me, and I would hear from them everyday. So again I agree, things have changed.

They go all the way to Oregon? You're right about the change in recruiting. I subscribed to a college recruiting site for many years. I became overrun with the kind of fans you hate to sit next to at games. Heckling a pitcher in the majors is one thing, but saying a 19 year old college athlete sucks is another.
