I don't think that's what this means at all. I deginately think that it means that all the improvements desired will have to be phased in. Work on the stadium :eyesores" will take a back seat. They will do functionality upgrades but the grand SEZ plan is dead I also think it means that he is...

That's going to be hard to do. I'd settle for "functionally on par" With that said, I don't think it's a $$ thing, to be honest. There are $$$ donors that are simply waiting for the right ideas presented in the right way by the right people. Nobody throws big $$ at mediocrity but they will...

That was good.

By definition they have the hands to catch with (both size wise and also touch). They are used to running with the ball and have familiarity with running pass routes. The only challenge with the transition (other than beefing up) is if the kid came from a program where QBs were babied and were...

So true. Big athletic HS QBs also often end up as TEs. ĐTs who are too slow end up on the OL.etc. etc.

This is what the competition put out a couple weeks ago. https://youtu.be/mSbqXOCTksc We need to compete with that.

In 2005 maybe the SEZ plan MIGHT have been on par. However I must temper that sentiment with wondering if the administration at that time had the same attitude as now. I'm encouraged by that statement. A SEZ facility would not be on par. It's obvious. The administration plus Lovie are going...

In other words they are not going with the SEZ plan, but are going with a facility comparable with others in the BIG instead!

I'm not looking to second guess technique in this situation ...sure the offenders could have been made part of a"breakfast club"and made to run stadium steps daily for a period of time...but Lovie chose differently. I don't have the facts...but I see this as some WR/DB B.S. over a hard hit or...

If you stop practice for something it's a big deal. Good to see that Lovie is jumping on this stuff early, as illinois isn't a good enough team to shrug off 15yd penalties against better teams (who are the majority of our opponents). A little extra curricular pushing and shoving during somee...

No kidding. And I'm still wondering what got sternquist vaporized after being hired by Lovie and brought here a year ago. Anyway I bet the recruiting staff that was under sternquist and are still around have found some increased motivation. Pat Embleton is the senior guy left standing...and...

Some schools host "junior days" (e.g. major planned dog and pony show designed to get juniors to commit and or impress top underclassmen) during spring ball others do it separately. If I'm a recruit I want to watch/listen to how my potential future position coach interacts with players. So I...

I'm in tampa as well. Unless my job has me moving before then, I'm planning on going.

Thx. Hard to keep all this straight with all recruiting lumped into one thread and not broken down by year of the kids.

What about O'Rouke and Putnam that an earlier poster reported as potential attendees?
