That explosion is really good for dropping backs in the back field or challenging lineman at the point of attack.This is the linebacker brother, but he could do some awesome Waterboy drop kicks!

Surprised no offer for TJ McMillen of Wheaton. Looks like a OC prospect. Nebraska just offered apparently.
Ah. Thanks for the correction. Forgot there were 2.This is the linebacker brother, but he could do some awesome Waterboy drop kicks!

LB at ESLMore in-state love. Anyone know what position(s) he plays?
We are the only B1G school without a commitment. Time to change that
Yup. There are two things I trust this staff about more than any other....BB and Bart in OL evals and Walters in safety evals.I hate the "gotta trust the coaching staff" statements on here because this is a message board and Illinois football coaching staffs of yesteryear haven't been great talent identifiers but if Bielema is not offering an offensive lineman, his track record provides him with trust to make the right call. All that said, maybe he gets an offer down the road.
Illini offered another ESL guy, an OL named Henderson. Think I saw he’s 300+ pounds.More in-state love. Anyone know what position(s) he plays?

Neither did Lovie.BB again showing he has no qualms trying to go into neighboring states for players.
Who?Neither did Lovie.
Yeah, but that was just something else to do on his trips looking for the perfect recliner.Neither did Lovie.
Illini has now offered an OL transfer from Austin Peay — Bucky Williams. He was all-conference this past season and 2nd team season before, and would have 2 years of eligibility.BB still trying to find some OL. Saw him listed at 6-3, 285. Article I saw said he’s picked up offers from OK St., WSU, and some smaller schools like Coastal Carolina.
OL is an obvious immediate need (due to graduation losses) -- hence the push for transfers. They've gained at two in the fold who, presumably, they hope to contribute right away. Maybe they will add another by opening of fall camp. Yet the staff did not neglect building for the future, either, signing 5 incoming freshman O-linemen.Illini has now offered an OL transfer from Austin Peay — Bucky Williams.

Agree with all that. No problem at all with BB going after transfers — in fact, I applaud it. Definitely a good thing if can add at least one more transfer OL.OL is an obvious immediate need (due to graduation losses) -- hence the push for transfers.

Robinson looks a little small for an immediate addition, 6-4 250. Bucky Williams is a better fit at 6-3 295.Agree with all that. No problem at all with BB going after transfers — in fact, I applaud it. Definitely a good thing if can add at least one more transfer OL.
