Can you confirm whether Illinois still has an offer for Will? Other boards are mentioning that the offer has been pulled. Thanks.

According to Will via the same Illinois poster I mentioned the offer has NOT been pulled.

By Crabtree...ND and Boston College are still in contact. Is considering official visits to Illinois, Notre Dame and Northwestern.

tOSU is still in contact but look out for Northwestern as they are making a quiet run at Will

[ThaKid101]

I kind of figured NW would make a run at him. Hopefully he winds up somewhere even if it isn't Illinois. I could see him going to NW and becoming yet another one of those underrated recruits to become one of the best in the B10 there (Fitzgerald, McGargle, etc. etc.).

ESPN - Midwest Recruiting Blog

Linebacker Will Studlien (Sunbury, Ohio/Big Walnut) has also yet to select a college. An injury has complicated the process. Studlien had an outstanding junior season but injured his left knee in April playing rugby. He had reconstructive surgery and missed the first two games this season. Studlien returned to action last weekend and had an excellent game, making close to 20 tackles.

Studlien landed an early scholarship offer from Illinois but said he has not heard much from the Illini recently. He has offers from Northwestern, Cincinnati and Miami of Ohio.

"I'm going to Northwestern on an unofficial visit this weekend," Studlien said. "I'll probably schedule an official visit to Miami of Ohio and I'll get down to Cincinnati for a game."

You can never go wrong with a free education from Northwestern...

Just now saw this...what a great pickup for Northwestern. I really think the Big 10 is cleaning up well this recruiting season.

Linebacker Will Studlien of Big Walnut is certain to go down as one of the all-time legends in the storied history of the Golden Eagle program.

But even after a star-studded career in Sunbury came to a close last autumn, Studlien suited up one more time in his prep tenure in the annual Big 33 Classic in Hershey, Pa.

Not surprisingly, considering his Big Walnut glory days, Studlien went out a winner. He helped lead Ohio to a 38-31 victory over Pennsylvania in the 52nd grudge match at Hershey Park Stadium June 20, which snapped a three-game losing streak for the Buckeye State.
