Awesome! I'm sure Robert will break these down in detail at ALionEye, but I like that Powell is inheriting Liuget's #93.

It's a Miami thing

Where is Fuller on there? Did his number already get assigned because he enrolled early? If so what is it?

I just think its because Fuller was here early and we all saw what number he will be wearing which was number 28 I believe.

Foster's 47 never made sense to me.

Really glad Teko Powell is at Illinois. He and Vontrell are going to be good

BigStan97 · Jun 19, 2012, 03:41 PM

Teko looks like one massive kid

Wow. That's a big boy. He's gonna be a beast!

Honestly if I was a college player I would try to get the most obnoxious number I could, like #3 as a DT/DE or something. Every little bit helps, and having the list go #99, #90, #2 and playing well can just make you a tiny bit more noticeable to scouts and if you play well... that can't hurt.

J.J. Robertson did not make it for the fall semester.

He has some work to do to make it on campus for the spring.

Did Jake Kumerow get kicked off or leave the team or something? (I only wonder because I played high school football with him and was looking forward to him possibly getting a bit more playing time after he showed a couple catched against @Minnesota last season)

He's not on the roster anymore, and that almost always means that a player is no longer on the team.

Kumerow was a walk-on, so maybe with the coaching change significantly lowering his chances of seeing playing time, he decided to quit football
