Imo neither BeBe or Betiku are pro ready yet. They're both still pretty raw, and I see Hansen staying around for another yr. He's a late round draft pick at best

Bebe runs a very limited amount of routes so far.
what happened to Wyatt?
That doesn’t have anything to do with being NFL Draft ready (And he likely couldn’t improve himself in that area with another year here anyway). I can throw a rock and hit a hundred kids who went between rounds 1-4 who couldn’t run the full tree at the time they were drafted. Jeremy Maclin was a first round pick out of Missouri who could only run 1 route. If you have talent and test well, you’ll get picked and Bhebe has talent. If he gets a decent analysis, I wouldn’t blame him if he jumped.

Makes sense to me. Someone compare him to J Leman...who populated a few practice squads but never really made it in the NFL. My non-coach recollection was Leman was faster and hit harder.Jake Hansen wouldn't get drafted if he left early. He probably won't get drafted after next year. Linebacker is a flooded field in the NFL. Bebe and Betiku are far from ready. Bebe runs a very limited amount of routes so far.
Maclin had value in the return game. I think a better comp would be Dorial Green Beckham (to stay in Mizzou). Now I agree that he could get drafted this year based on his measurables. But why not polish your game for 1 more year. Dont get me wrong, I am all for leaving early if you can. 16 wideouts were drafted in the first 4 rounds last draft. He needs to see if he is 1 of the top 20 wideouts coming out. If he gets that feedback then he should go immediately, but if he doesnt get that feedback I would stay.
But he's really good on 4th & 17 with the game on the line, which is a trait that's hard to find.Jake Hansen wouldn't get drafted if he left early. He probably won't get drafted after next year.

Wyatt suffered a pretty serious knee injury last season and may have reaggravated in the offseason that seems to be holding him back this season. I don't know if it was a dislocated knee or something to that effect.
Body by Lou was talking Monday about Jay Leman. Leman came in at 210 and was 247 at the start of his senior year.
Leman not only made the linebackers board for the 3 lifts, he was on the lineman's board for the three lifts.
Lou said you are allowed to work with each player 8 hours per week in the off season. They would literally have to take Leman by the shoulder and escort out of the building to keep from going over 8 hours.
I love Hansen but he is not in Leman class.
I mean just look at how Isiah Gay looks physically this yr. With the good weight he’s added his best days are ahead of him, and I see him having a shot at the NFL. With that being said I’m going to get the wheels back on the recruiting thread trackWDWS 11-11-19 podcast. I think scott beatty does it. I just checked, it is still available.
Some fascinating insight into how much we have improved. Only Green had made the three lifts necessary to get on the board in February, now we have eight.
Did you notice Rod Smith give a shout out to Lou during the post game MSU interview. These coaches are seeing what we saw 10 years ago.
Lou is certifiably nuts in his own lovable Illini way. His wife told him he has a BS in barbells.
Brandon Petets with an Illinois bowl bound team can answer that questionRyan Easterling was on the Werner show and said IL was after J'Marick Woods in the transfer portal. A safety that was on the Michigan football team.

Anyone have any info on this subject matter? This is the first I have heard about this
With the beloved going to a bowl game... A hell of a lot more options open up. If we beat Iowa Lovie's going to be forced to choose between recruits/transfers for roster spots. That's a great problem to have, and in Lovie I trust!
Unfortunately, that’s not how this is playing out.
Winning was the rather important missing ingredient. Josh hired a highly respected and well known man in Lovie who carries himself with dignity and class and who’s NFL history sets him apart from the average college coach. All of that now resonates when coupled with wins (and dramatic spectacular wins at that!). Our two previous coaches (excluding Cubit) were punchlines.For a 6 win team, we have gotten quite a bit of press due to the Wisconsin and MSU games. Heck, we were in the title of the front page article on ESPN Sunday. It sounds stupid, but I also feel like Lovie's beard has gotten us a lot of attention. I've seen several articles referring to it, and then inevitably making a reference to his time with the Bears. I think this is what Josh envisioned when he took this chance.
