First mention I’ve seen of any. Don’t know Illini’s interest. Has offers from EIU, Northwestern St., and Central Michigan. Had 18 recs for 217 yards and 3 TDs last year. Didn’t see stats for this year.

I know squat about McKatherine. But I know that we should have a great relationship with CoD. They have D1 prospects every year. It looks like staff is addressing that, which is great. A bevy of CoD players were hosted at the Chattanooga game.
It was about time, but glad they finally did it.
Notre Dame will be in Ardmore, OK tomorrow to watch/talk to Cal Swanson

This was my initial reaction to this breaking news:
And then after having time to ponder it:
I’ll be nervous when/if they actually offer. As of right now, we’ve got a commitment.

As I said earlier, I will buy claims that we uncovered a gem with Swanson not one moment before we are made to start sweating him flipping to a bigger program.
Nope, not related. Never spoke to the kid.
I'll find out tomorrow which ND coach comes...
Less worried about losing Cal Swanson than I am about Sitkowski being on the roster next season
I'm less worried about Art knowing TDV has another year of eligibility.
Once he confirms he will come back for a 2nd year at Illinois....that would put me more at ease
Uhhhh what?
haha, uhoh. there was rumor circulating that between covid year and injury shortened seasons he might have 2 yrs but i'm guessing not?

[EDIT: Fixed]
2017 he redshirted
2018 he played in 7 games
2019 he started the whole year
2020 he got hurt for most of the year, but it's a Covid freebie
2021 he lost his starting job and entered the portal in the middle of the season
2022 he's starting with us
He can't normal redshirt for 2021 because he already did in 2017, and he can't medical redshirt for 2020 because that was a free year for eligibility purposes anyway.
This is the end of the line for TDV.

I am just going off of the info the person put...I knew/know nothing about the extra year
Going back to my point above. I feel more confident rolling with Michaux/Leary/future commit or transfer than I do with Art next season.

agreed, but I'd would love to have DeVito for one more year too

So Cal, here's your choice: You can play for Barry Lunney, who is certifiably a good QB coach, OC, and all round good guy, or get yelled at by Tommy Rees on national television.
I surely don't want to lose Cal! When he was not rated and had no D1 offers I watched his film. I think he has the tools to be great. He has that play with confidence swagger to him.
