How is it different from Pocic....

the Brown brothers were pretty much a package deal , but regardless , neither were 4* recruits.
same with Kreutz - both are good, might be great , but neither were 4*
we took Mendenhall brother as a package deal to get Rashard

Pocic brother was a 4*. LSU came along and he dumped us like a hot potato , his brother being here mattered NOTHING
Griffith son wanted nothing to do with us once ND & OSU showed interest

please name a situation where we got a "highly" rated recruit and it was even partially related to a brother or father on the team already or before
Im not saying it doesnt exist, I just cant name one

In a perfect world we would have some excellent underclassmen ready to take over QB so we could wait for Tommy DeVito to get an answer from NCAA

Jack Trudeau - sophomore starter
Jeff George - sophomore starter (had to sitout transfer year)
Kurt Kittner - sophomore starter
Juice Williams - sophomore starter
Nate Scheelhaase - sophomore starter

Unfortunately we saw the difference this year in having a good QB and it does not appear anybody on our roster is ready

Bret is not naive or ridiculously loyal to his players. He knows this is a brutal business. If he needs to guarantee the starting position to get the QB he wants I believe he will do it.

If Tommy gets another year of eligibility he may not use it (he is 24 years old) but rather try to catch on in NFL or he may choose to transfer to another school.

Michael Penix Jr is returning to UW Huskies here in Seattle. Could be a relevant development for DeVito.

If that happens, is 8 wins the floor?

Depends on the defense, but maybe.

However, everything I was hearing up to the last 24 hours was he was intent on going to the draft. This feels like a move that buys him time. Illinois is not likely to play a waiting game are they?
