I have to say that McGee's offensive strategy was a bit odd. I just don't think it matched the strengths of the team. I thought the playbook this season would have consisted of getting a mobile qb in crouch outside the pocket, running a heavy variety of option plays, and getting the ball to...

After the early weeks of camp, Zarrian was moved from TE to WR. There is a learning curve, mentally & physically, that he had to get over. Under most circumstances I assume a player would redshirt in that scenario, but with with the lack of talent & depth at the WR position I imagine it wasn't...

The remaining recruits that we are making the highest priority on probably is WR Jeff Thomas and OL Joshuah Fedd-Jackson. After those two, it is probably safety James Knight and trying to get Rey Estes to flip to us from Mizzou

Obviously to early to predict, I know, but who do you guys think the redshirts will be? I'm thinking Tony Adams (coming of a torn ACL), Cam Thomas (depth at position), Ra'von Bonner (depth at position), Kendall Smith (needs year to develop), and Marc Mondesir (needs year to develop).

What is the word on D-end Joshua Maize from Deerfield? I was impressed with his highlight tape and also confused to why he does not have bigger offers. I imagine he's a bright kid for attending Deerfield, which is renown in the state for their academics.

I believe a likely scenario is that Cam Thomas will redshirt and by his r-sophomore year he will be competing for the starting job against the likes of a player like Coran Taylor (fingers crossed) who will be a r-freshman. However, you have to be skeptical of Cam Thomas nonetheless, he doesn't...

Watkins is a huge get. I remember McGee saying that Illinois want to create a triangle of recruiting in Chicago, St. Louis, and Cincinnati. Other than Steve Hull, has Illinois gotten any other recruits from the Cincy area in the past? I'm intrigued about this pipeline and what the future holds...

Heard from source close to the bball program that the plan is to get epperson, have him redshirt and then have a grad transfer to back up Tillman

It's Thad's world and we are just living in it

I hate to reference twitter, but I'm gonna reference twitter. Kendrick Green recently change his twitter profile pic to him decked out in Illinois gear with an Illinois cookie cake. So naturally, I think we are in a good spot.
