Nothing confirmed, but my gut still tells me ex-Cactus HS OL Ryan Nowicki will wind up at Illinois from Penn State. May come down tomorrow.

BigStan97 · Aug 1, 2012, 04:45 PM

Is treadwell cooling on Michigan? I saw on the Iowa board that he plans to visit them and they are getting really excited about it.:rolleyes:

A poster said that he might be cooling on Michigan because of their pro-set offense. Now, this was just 1 person saying this, but i thought that was a little interesting if this were true.

Wow when I saw Dans post I assumed Justin brown was a senior buried on the PSU depth chart. That's not the case at all!

Apparently Brown is the leading returning receiver with over 500 yards last year.

This would be HUGE!!

Woah, that means it would be between Cinci and illinois then?

Kramer116 · Aug 1, 2012, 08:02 PM

Brown would be massive.

It would seem that way, yes. He hasn't officially decided to transfer yet, though.

yeah, but he certainly hasn't been giving PSU any confidence in this situation.

mdonsbach · Aug 1, 2012, 08:09 PM

Not to mention our huge gaping hole at WR has to be attractive.

I agree. It would be tough for anyone that is mulling transferring to choose going back to PSU.

Why would you with McGloin as your QB?

If that wasn't already depressing enough, maybe camp will do the trick when he looks around and sees how depleted they are.

I hope Brown reads this classy thread by the PSU faithful.

Yeah, i read that earlier too. He might be better off leaving.

256ILLINI · Aug 1, 2012, 08:36 PM

It's creepy how loyal they became to O'Brien in such a small period of time.

illinoistradition · Aug 1, 2012, 08:43 PM

There will be one "big" transfer addition within the next week or so that will help out in the future at a position of need.
