Illinois football seems to be trying to open a new pipeline when it comes to recruiting.
The Illini basketball team has been able to open new avenues for their recruiting. They are tackling Wisconsin, Indiana and Ohio successfully. Now it is time for the football team to step up their game another notch. Bret Bielema and the Illinois coaching staff are now pursuing Iowa product, Andrew Depaepe.
