Absolute best case scenario

The overall strength of the team next year is the linebackers. Outside of the Crouch and Dunlap, there is no position less equipped to handle an injury beside the OL. O line a strength in 2019? Probably. This year no way

Verdis Brown, Trout, Thompson, and Perkins on the D-Line are all higher rated and we are in group of favorites to land

Crystal Balls mean very very little. I believe nothing from Gus Ramos unless he read it off a premium info from Scout and Rivals. They are great for clicks though

Greg Newsome just visited Illinois today. But I don't like our chances there

We are not a longshot. I would put us as the favorite. By no means the odds-on favorite, but I think we have a better shot than anyone. Top competition is probably Arkansas

I think we have a good weekend.

Let's wait and see on that one

There is a rumor that it is already filled but needs to wait until April 1st to be officially announced. After the 10th assistant is announced and the back channel connections can be officially confirmed

I would prefer they don't trade Quintana. I think he is young enough and cheap enough that he could still be good when we are good again. I would prefer they try to sell high on Rodon.

He is at best my #4 choice for this class at QB. I like Eleby, Taylor and Littlejohn all more than him. But it appears the coaches have a different opinion of his talent than I. I will defer to calibear on this one

Also got a long snapper as a PWO as well

We are his only offer

I don't know many 6'5 WR with 4.86 forties. He seems like he wants to be a Wide Receiver but in a Tight End's body and he doesn't block enough to play as a WR let alone a Tight End. But I have been wrong before. Ford and Ivy are more appealing

I am ok with this one. He isn't one of top 10-12 wants from Illinois & St. Louis for me. I think he is at best the 3rd best Tight End in the state
