    Im being told IW is making throws that put our players in a great position to catch the ball. Already looking off DB's and confident in his ability. Arm strength coming along. This will be a great ride.

    What makes you think Illinois strength and conditioning is inferior to other programs? You don't have a clue about coach Boese's program! I am confident the Illini conditioning is as good or better than all the others in the Big Ten.

    I have been told that Bush looks good! I'm also been told all the incoming quarterbacks have talent! I believe just the added depth at QB will aid in the winning of more games!

    I think you are on a island. Isaiah is an electrifying five star that we have not seen in sometime. Whatever position Coach Smith puts him at on the field will give us a threat to score. Nate, Pat, Hardy and the boys will find us some linebackers!

    Chayce Crouch Word is Chayce is throwing the ball with some zip. A lot more zip than prior to injury. If he does not try and take on any linebackers and with the addition to Dudek the offense will have several new looks. I can only imagine that our 3rd down conversion rate should be much...

    Glad the young man got the ACT he needed. It is a lot more difficult for some of these young men when taking these tests. Some are not as fortunate to hiring tutors for their children. Nice job Larry. You'll be all set when you get the diploma from U of I.

    Doug Kramer Junior is only 6'2". I believe he can play at this level but I agree they just want road graders. Badovinac is relentless. They lost to a well coached team that had 0 turnovers to our 2.

    Jack Badovinac should be recruited by the ILLINI. 10 pancakes against the Hilltoppers. Tough, Strong and can be utilized as a pulling guard and can also play center. Sun times first team all state.
