That is true, but I think they still feel pretty good about him.Holyfield is no sure thing and Brad knows that.
I don’t believe the 2nd and 4th part of that post is set in stone yet. Don’t think we will know about January for sure one way or another until summer. And while I think we have as good of a chance as anyone at Holyfield, he has many offers and the list will continue to grow.From very reliable source. All are staying except Higgs.

Is the current plan (with the understanding that it very likely will change) that January will go JuCo, and then come back to Illinois after getting everything in line?From very reliable source. All are staying except Higgs. January going juco route. Cockburn still in. Holyfield coming

Plans change...
I'm guessing he's transferring down a level (at least competition-wise) and likely closer to home.It looks like the younger Finke (Tim) is leaving Grand Canyon.

I never thought Grand Canyon was a good choice for him anywayIt looks like the younger Finke (Tim) is leaving Grand Canyon.

I don't get this. I thought GCU was an odd pick to start but whatever. Then he goes out there, gets his brother to follow, plays some significant minutes and then leaves. I don't get it. And where did you hear the info that he's transferring down a level. Like Division 2 or 3? That would be all the more perplexing. It seemed like he's capable of playing D-1. What the heck?
I'll bang the drum for Bradley again for him...

IF January goes Juco, I would think there would stand a very good chance that he never makes it to the ILLINI. I hope that does not happen as I think the kid would be a really good fit in the system and with current team.
Shelly Clark also comes to mind, though he committed to the Illini after he went through Juco and not before.I would think he would give the school he committed to a good look once he's done at JUCO. We've had some good luck with JUCO bigs that wanted to go to Illinois but had to start out in JUCO, see Ken Norman and Marcus Griffin.
Probably depends on what he was told from the coaching staff beforehand. Did we sell him on being able to get him admitted and then it didn't happen?I would think he would give the school he committed to a good look once he's done at JUCO.
