Coach Big Pete's Classes of 2024, 2025, 2026 Watchlists For Top Illinois Recruits (Version 2023)



YES IM BACK!!!




PLEASE SCROLL DOWN FOR FULL ARTICLE




Again, I take pride in my scouting and respect of this beloved game of football. Not only do I scout these names, but I talk to coaches on the high school level and college level about all these recruits. After this list is published, I send my notes to college coaches free of charge to programs. Also, I scout with percentiles and project where recruits could be on the college level. Again, most recruits get offers based on where they are projected not where they are right now. Names will be added weekly, daily, monthly!!!




THIS IS A WATCHLIST

NO RANKINGS, NAMES ARE NOT IN ORDER

Players are scouted from Events, Hudls, Game film for the past 8 months (2 Month Hiatus).

If I make any mistakes in spellings, schools, classes please let me know my email is coachbigpetefp@gmail.com - I DO MAKE MISTAKES - I'M NOT PERFECT.

Also, I would like to point out on the Watchlist page that for some reason names get deleted due to my editing so in the coming months Please understand in no way is it deliberate, and I ask our readers if you see a name disappear, please tell me. My email is coachbigpetefp@gmail.com

REMEMBER THE ONLY ONE THAT MATTERS IN YOUR RECRUITING IS YOUR HIGH SCHOOL COACH- THAT IS IT NOT ME, NOT RECRUITING JOURNALISTS, NOT 7 on 7 COACHES, NOT TRAINERS





REMEMBER RECRUITING IS 100% FREE

QUICK REMINDER: YES, in 2 weeks or less I will be going all over the positions in articles and videos.

Scouting Reports on Coach Big Pete Facebook will be happening soon as in past years



THIS LIST IS UPDATED WEEKLY/MONTHLY- Last Year I added over 135 Names to the list. These lists along with my scouting notes are sent free to college coaches from FBS, FCS, NAIA, D2, D3, JUCO. THESE LISTS HAVE BEEN USED ON ALL MAJOR RECRUITING WEBSITES. (LOVE DOING OTHER PEOPLES WORK)







AS OF 6:16 pm 3/22/23 NAMES WERE ADDED- CLICK ON LINK FOR THE UPDATED LIST


So the names you see below names were added.

MORE NAMES WILL BE ADDED MONTHLY/WEEKLY

AND AGAIN - RECRUITS MAKE SURE I HAVE YOUR INFO







NOW HERE WE GO...… ENJOY IHSA FOOTBALL FAMILY

REMEMBER STARS, RANKINGS, WATCHLISTS MEAN NOTHING IN RECRUITING. BEST FIT FOR THE BEST SCHOOL
