Can someone compile and post a current 2025 depth chart, to this thread?
We all need to start taking a look at it and discussing.

Probably need to wait a couple more weeks. Transfer portal windows extends for ~1 week after each team's bowl game, so give another two weeks after that to have a good idea of the final roster (with the caveat there will also be a spring transfer portal window).

Though I've been a fan of Hank since high school, I've thought of him during his Illini career mostly as the guy you rely on when you need 4yds and a first down. In recent games he has displayed flashes of speed and some ups. As I review all the talent we (potentially) have coming back for next year, I haven't been this excited about the upcoming season for decades.

If we retain all 4 running backs, it will be interesting to see if one emerges as “the guy”, or if it will be by committee like this year. What a strong finish by Laughery and McCray…..Faegin is going to have to earn snaps rather than have them handed to him.

This is, by far, the most excited and earliest I have cared about a new football season. The momentum is palpable.

Right there with you. The season ended 21 hours ago and I'm literally hyperactive with anticipation.

Also: Feagin was a monster as a freshman. If he's fully healthy and even stronger next season we are going to to see some smashmouth RB game that will open up the air for Luke.

Like I said... I gotta stop thinking about it 'cause I can't focus otherwise. It's NY Day and I'm already planning to go to two road games in September. I've NEVER done that.

FIFY!

Also, I think our fan base should have a completely reasonable challenge … sell out or come close to selling out almost every home game. We sold out two games last year and drew 55k+ crowds multiple times. We just won 10 games via a prestigious Citrus Bowl victory, and we’ll return a core that should have us ranked preseason. There should be plenty of excitement, continued growth in the season ticket base and we have MORE than enough people in our state, Central Illinois and even just the broader C-U region itself to put 60k butts in those seats!

I just can’t see how all 4 are at rb again next season. Just not enough carries to go around

I’m thinking of getting season tickets this year… I’m thrifty, so where is my best cheap ticket? I think I’d prefer west sideline…or should I look at horseshoe? Think I prefer to avoid East sideline. Anyone have any input?

Fly Illini Fly!
Would've liked the USC game a bit earlier... always like the opening home game against quality opponent to be the tone setter for the rest of the season

If you go to the link below and space down to about the middle of the document you should find season ticket and IFUND prices for the 2024 season tickets. This will give you an idea of 2025 season ticket pricing. I have not seen any pricing for 2025 season tickets.

Sorry.. I saw this already. I guess, I probably should have said I saw this, and I’m thinking of getting west sideline or maybe horseshoe seats. Anyone have preference or input why one is better or worse?

Just depends on what view you’re wanting. Neither are bad. Sometimes I like the end zone as a football guy it’s like watching the end zone tape of the game but in real time.

I will say sometimes the west side can be nice on those early season hot sunny games to get some shade. You can get pretty cooked on the East side and horseshoe.
