I see he has played in 8 games with 1 catch for 4 yards vs Austin Peavy

But this depth chart doesn't even have him in the top 3 for TEs. So maybe...
Jeremy Werner show this am - " I would be suprised if Illinois doesn't get Jeff Thomas"
Breathe Breathe
He also mentioned a Big 12 WR they are in on... not sure who that is currently. Unless it's that WR they didn't get a few years ago from Texas
Yes, but he's only a Soph, so doesn't graduate until 2021. I'm sure he's going to be highly recruited by us and other programs once the time comes.Complete shot in the dark here, but I heard Olin Kreutz on 670 this morning and they brought up his son winning a state title at Loyola. With the obvious connections to Lovie, and John Holecek as his coach, is Olin's son a prospect at all?

Thomas would be a big shot in the arm, with the caveat that I have concerns about the off-the-field issues he's exhibited since high school.
Combine that with the year he'd likely have to sit out, his non-negligible NFL draft stock, Lovie's penchant for kicking kids off the team and the chance that we have a new coach in 2020 and I will react to the possibility of Jeff Thomas in an Illini uniform playing in a real game when I see it

I wouldn't say it's likely that he'd have to sit out
I'd put the chances Luke Ford comes here basically zero. You don't choose a place like UGA/Bama/Clemson if you're interested in a rebuilding program. He chose the bright lights over early PT once already (obviously can't blame him for that). I'd be shocked if he completely reversed course.
Arizona media reporting Khalil Tate is going to transfer.... http://www.rotoworld.com/player/cfb/137121/khalil-tate
Kind of looks orange and blue!

The reason I think Ford is not a complete shot in the dark is because Dorsey earned honors as a true Freshman. Ford has the talent to do something similar at Illinois and would not be able to do the same at Georgia as a blocking tight end. I think it would be smart for Ford to consider the transfer, but I have a little bias.
