Good for him. Have to strike while your name is not.
How do we replace him if he stays in the draft?

That’s a good hype man
We made a bowl game!
I hope all those game stay on Saturday.
Good luck to Marquez...see that he is listed back on the defensive side of the ball on his announcement.
I am fairly certain going back to Zook at least there hasn't been such a year.I'm not willing to thumb through years of Illinois football coaching staffs so I'll put it out in the ether and see if anyone knows: What was the last year that Illinois football's coaching staff didn't have any turnover?
Heard Bielema say Tolson and Joseph both signed with agents and won’t return.Not shocking that he would declare, hopefully he gets some nice feedback and elects to return.

I want to say that's good. We took two kids that had 0 chance at the NFL and in 1 season with Walters and BB made them potential draft picks. Can't get a better recruiting pitch.Heard Bielema say Tolson and Joseph both signed with agents and won’t return.
100%, and inside backer is a position of strength depending on Hart’s recovery.I want to say that's good. We took two kids that had 0 chance at the NFL and in 1 season with Walters and BB made them potential draft picks. Can't get a better recruiting pitch.
Yep having someone step up in the free safety position will be key. Kerby’s development really allowed Sidney Brown to roam around and thrive. We need him in that role.100%, and inside backer is a position of strength depending on Hart’s recovery.
Free Safety will be TBD, but it was TBD to start this season and we ended up with Kerby doing ballhawk safety type things.
I don’t hate it. It’s better than Legends and Leaders.Time for Big Ten football to introduce relegation?
Next year the divisions would be-
Top tier:
Michigan
Ohio State
Michigan State
Iowa
Wisconsin
Minnesota
Purdue
The rest:
Penn State
Maryland
Rutgers
Indiana
Illinois
Nebraska
Northwestern
Play your division once. Keep a rivalry game if needed. Schedule a Pac and ACC non-con. If anyone in Top tier has a worse record than anyone in The rest, they swap next season.
Edit- Best two teams in the Top tier play championship.
Gotta be Jartavius' turn for the light to go fully on next year. He played really well this year when he had the opportunities. So impressed with how assignment sure our guys were this year, particularly at the end.Yep having someone step up in the free safety position will be key.

My friend who’s a sports agent actually said “Tolson had a 5th round grade going into the season, but fell off. If he has a good combine/pro day he can work his way back in”I want to say that's good. We took two kids that had 0 chance at the NFL and in 1 season with Walters and BB made them potential draft picks. Can't get a better recruiting pitch.
To my dismay he wasn’t able to sign Owen after talking with him for a little. I’ve been trying to sell our player’s to him for the last couple yrs now lolMy friend who’s a sports agent actually said “Tolson had a 5th round grade going into the season, but fell off.

Man I know it's popular to !!!! on the previous staff, but this is a bit exaggerated.I want to say that's good. We took two kids that had 0 chance at the NFL and in 1 season with Walters and BB made them potential draft picks. Can't get a better recruiting pitch.

I mean we can take it on putting down the old staff, but we didn't have a single player drafted in the Lovie years. Now we are losing two Lovie kids who were definitely not highly rated to the draft and they were confident enough to sign agents before hearing their grade. I don't think I am being mean just stating the true events of what happened. We turned not highly recruited kids that didn't fit our program into draft pick imagine what we can do with you is a good sales pitch to some of these kids.Man I know it's popular to !!!! on the previous staff, but this is a bit exaggerated.
You give the new staff all the credit for the development of young men who are now Junior/Seniors aka the year a lot of them blow up and are on draft radars. Not a single kid drafted under Lovie? Allegretti? Milo Eifler? Nate Hobbs!? Kendrick Green?I mean we can take it on putting down the old staff, but we didn't have a single player drafted in the Lovie years.
