This is the same guy who said Fellows wouldn't switch his verbal in the first place, Fellows wouldn't come to Ohio State's spring game, and Fellows was recruiting Hall to Illinois.
Fellows ain't going anywhere, not a guess. This guy is selling crap to the masses, and the sad thing is that they (Illini fans) eat it up.
BTW: Nevada is willing to take bets if he would like to put his money where his mouth is.

On which board is all this fun taking place?
BTW I can absolutely guaranteed that Fellows will end up in Champaign.

It's from their insider on Rivals. On another board I have a sig bet with an Illini fan that we get Hall and Fellows and not Zook. Poor chump.

Scout.com: Is Melvin Fellows still being recruited by Illinois?
Does this mean Illinois doesn't have a shot here?

Rivals attempt to state case
Jason Lloyd, Journal Register News Service
08/03/2008
But as Illinois recently found out, Ohio State still gets the cream of the crop
Two weeks after the loss to LSU in the BCS championship game, as Ohio State was sniffing around for more recruits for the 2009 class, Jim Tressel received an e-mail from a confidante.
Eric Wolford, an Illinois assistant coach, was at a bar with the Garfield Heights coaching staff. It was Illinois' last-gasp effort to keep Melvin Fellows, a four-star defensive end prospect from Garfield Heights.
"Illinois is doing whatever it takes to keep Melvin," according to the e-mail, obtained by The Lorain Morning Journal. "Eric told me his (he) is prepared to fight (OSU defensive coordinator Jim) Heacock and (cornerbacks coach) Taver Johnson for Fellows."
The fight Wolford joked about against the Ohio State coaches never occurred, nor will Fellows wind up on Illinois' campus.
After verbally committing to the Illini in December, Fellows visited Ohio State's spring game in April. Shortly thereafter, he switched his commitment to the Buckeyes.
"Nothing against Illinois," Fellows said at the time. "But this is the best thing for me."
And so ended another chapter in the new recruiting wars being waged in Ohio. The Buckeyes' biggest competitor for in-state talent used to be Michigan.
Not anymore.
With two Ohio natives and former Buckeye assistants now head coaches at Illinois and Michigan State, Tressel and his staff are getting attacked from all angles.
So far, they're still winning.
