Did you account for the difference in the slippers vs the basketball shoes?

A tackle? . . . Well, maybe. He has length (yes, he does need to add 30-50 lbs), speed, good hands, and doesn't appear to be afraid to mix it up blocking. I like his potential as a tight end.

When does Illini Football's 2026 Fall Practice begin?

For some of these small school transfers, think Clayton Fejedelem. That should put some happy thoughts in your head . . .

Reports do have Darrel Prater looking good in Spring practice . . . "Transfer defensive lineman Darrell Prater worked his way into the No. 1 role at nose tackle by the end of spring practice, giving Illinois a needed anchor as it rebuilds the front."...

Is this Danilo Dozic?. . .

Michael Osei-Bonsu appears to be one massive, ultra-athletic dude! It might have been better for this young man to have gotten himself into football earlier.

Decent numbers. Any stats on turnovers?

Who are these guys? . . .

Well, you never know. We didn't get a "stud point guard" last year. We got a "Keaton Wagler" instead. That seems to be working out well so far.

Good . . . But, please tell us you didn't wash it between games.

From Pat Farrell's comments, it's apparent that the new defensive scheme/philosophy is getting some quick buy-in by the players. That's good.

Kamden Lopati may be offered by many other schools that aspire to be as good as Illinios. But, we have Art Sitkowski and they don't. Kamden is coming here.

Not only is Ayo on fire, he looks great in his New Do!

Well, he does look good in Orange & Blue!
