Houston Griffith in the portal. Would be a nice replacement for Hobbs.

Interesting move since he appeared to have a good shot at starting next year at S at ND.
That's Howard's son, right?

Coan to ND
Griffith could probably come in and start right away.
Exactly! Have no problems at all if a player that gave his 4 years regardless if they can make next level you wish them well and move on ..
It's too bad in my opinion especially on Twitter where directly speaking to a player saying they wont make it smh ..
Good luck to the ones moving on we will be fine
Glad they chose to be ILLINI
Howard really likes Bielema
In an interview I heard on a certain podcast, he basically said he liked Lovie and Lovie did all he could to get his son to commit. He said it was other aspects (other coaches, facilities etc) that swayed them away.
but like 0440 said on that same podcast he was raving about BB
Had trouble tackling at ND. Not sure he would have started next year either.
He would have fit in right here. Going forward?................................
Houston Griffith seems to follow a lot of Illini players and Bellamy on Twitter. I’m not sure if a lot of them are recent or not, it’s interesting though.

Edwin Carter returning per his twitter.
That is good news about Carter. I thought before he was injured (terrible injury) was going to be a very good wr for us. Glad to have him back. Good Luck Edwin.
Good to know. If recovered, seems like he can be a solid contributor. Either way, hope he makes a solid contribution for himself as to overcome those 2 significant injuries.

I really hope Edwin keeps up his streak of every single career reception being a TD reception, and thus I hope he gets a lot of balls thrown his way. 
I noticed that there are two Clemson def lineman in the transfer portal.
The only way he keeps the streak in tact is if he never plays another down of football.I really hope Edwin keeps up his streak of every single career reception being a TD reception, and thus I hope he gets a lot of balls thrown his way.

It's great that we're recruiting more strongly in St. Louis and we should continue to do so, and ingrain ourselves as a "local" option for those kids.
But at the end of the day, we are not Home State U for those guys.
St Louis area is wide open. I live in the Metro St Louis area and all comes down to location and winning. I look for Bielema to open a few more doors than Lovie did. Lovie thought the door should be open already with his time with the Rams in the area and NFL background. Not the way it works....
Lovie thought he shouldn’t have to get off his couch in AZ
