In my opinion, rugby punting is only an option if your punter is hurt and your backup is a bum.

Might be time to change your opinion. Australian punters are firmly planting themselves on top of the punting game in college football. The last 4 Ray Guy Award winners, as well as each finalist this season, have had rugby punting in their arsenal (they can traditional punt as well). If you are calling guys like Tom Hackett, Mitch Wishnowsky, and Cameron Johnson bums, I'm not really sure what you are looking for in a college punter.
A 6'6" 240# receiver, with good speed, should be able to wreak havoc on defenses. If he ends up being an so-so blocker, so be it. They can land a blocking TE. Problem solved.
Florida state made another Florida d end a priory over Carney.
On top of all of Carneys work out videos he's in ILLINI gear.....
I think he likes his possibility of starting day one or at least contributing day one.....
To seal it he's got carmoni his friend going there
Well you know I like the sounds of that. Does anybody have a realistic number on his weight currently? I can not see a de standing up against the run sub 250 fresh:hand:man or not.

Adesanya and McGrew were listed at 250 and 245 this year, so, don't think that will matter. They're going to have to play
How much did they contribute this year LLP?
When will we officially hear about all of the early enrollees? First day of second semester?
Right now Scout shows Watkins and Philips as signing their NLI's.

Watkins is enrolling early so that checks out. Not sure if Phillips is enrolling early.

For some reason schools aren't allowed to announce that an early enrollee has signed with them anymore. Has to come from the student. So yes, first day of class or until the student doesn't want to keep it quiet.

For a guy that has been a part of an offense that hasn't scored more that two touchdowns in 2 years my guess will be not much. A QB has to be able to lead and have a winning mentality. It will be interesting to see how this plays out.

I believe a likely scenario is that Cam Thomas will redshirt and by his r-sophomore year he will be competing for the starting job against the likes of a player like Coran Taylor (fingers crossed) who will be a r-freshman. However, you have to be skeptical of Cam Thomas nonetheless, he doesn't have the accolades relative to other QB prospects. Though, his athletic ability is off the charts and he will make an impact whether he is playing QB or some other position.
Cam was the number 2 qb in Illinois.. .he was good his team around him just really was awful. ...he was clearly their best player and athlete
