Second and short: Bolingbrook and UI connections
National recruiting expert Tom Lemming, who co-hosts the “Lemming Report” on CBS Sports Network and has covered college football recruiting for more than three decades, breaks down one of Lovie Smith’s four commits in the Class of 2017, Bolingbrook wide receiver Kendall Smith:
“He’s got a ways to go. Illinois was the only Big Ten school that offered him. It was mainly MAC schools that were going after Kendall. He’s got decent size. Not a real strong kid, but good hands and runs OK. He’s more of a project.”
