Jeremy Werner posted it on twitter they gave a Illini depth chart and didn't list the transfers and freshman on it......white and Davis were listed as co starters at te
Link for the new depth chart ?
I'm surprised by the depth chart that was released. All this talk of power football and McGee likes using multiple TEs/FB/HB types, and no FB/HB is listed. I read somewhere that Nathan Echard and former LB Austin Roberts are now HB/FB position. I get that McGee will also just throw the TEs White or Davis back there sometimes as well.
I guess I was looking forward to a more old school depth chart with a FB listed.
QB- Lunt, Crouch, Jimmy/George
RB- Vaughn, Corbin, Foster
FB/HB- Echard, Roberts
TE- White or Davis, Johnson, Reams (could also play FB/HB)
WR- Turner, Mays
WR- Hardee, Taylor
Slot- Cain, Grant
OT- Schmidt, Fagan
OG- Megs, Heath
OC- Spencer, Martin
OG- Allegretti, Brennan
OT- DiLauro, Solomon
DE- Smoot, McGrew
DT- Chunk, Tito
NG- Bain, Milan
DE- Phillips, President
WLB- Crawford, Williams
MLB- Nickerson, Watson
SLB- Jones, Svetina
CB- Dunlap, Watkins, Sumpter
SS- Barton, Kelly, Nelson
FS- Day, Hylton, Davis
CB- Hayes, James
Nickel- Mosely, Cazley
Between Hayes, Mosely, James, Watkins, Sumpter. I think we can create a suitable CB rotation.
Watkins, Sumpter are still young pups so mistakes will happen. James I read had a good spring.
I haven't heard anything about Hayes, good or bad, just plugged him in off the depth chart release.
Anything can happen once camp starts.
Yes with Dunlap's injury history I do see good corner rotation on series to keep guys fresh....
I also see a lot of split back passing situations with Corbin and Vaughn as well as lb packages with the Watson and dele harding
It's cool to see that Lovie is going to be on there. It would be even cooler if anyone still cared about Sportscenter. At this point, he might as well be doing a guest spot on The George Michael Sports Machine or The Baseball Bunch. But still, it illustrates the uncharted waters we're in now. Amazing times to be an Illini.
What did he say the stadium was called? I listened to it about 8 times over and still couldn't make it out.
I think he is saying "out by our stadium"
