I quickly typed up a depth chart after viewing the spring game, and factoring in the transfers, and incoming freshman. Interesting to think as many as 5 transfers (6 if Tate comes) could start for us next year. Biggest strengths are the ridiculous amount of talent and versatility at running back, the consistency of our starting OLine, the depth of our DLine, and starting secondary. Biggest concerns are both starting quarterback and depth, second string OLine, Linebackers, and secondary depth. If this team stays healthy it can be a 6/7 win team and maybe an even higher ceiling with Tate. If we lose a few starters though it could quickly turn to another 4-8 season. All in all I have great faith in the season, and feel like the program has a lot of positivity swirling around it. Let me know if you think I should make changes or am missing something, and as always Go Illini!
