I am intrigued by QB Jeff Sims from the portal (and Georgia Tech) because he's got the arm, size, and legs of a future NFL QB. Two years of eligibility remaining.
Add some run-read-keep options to our shotgun look...
If our program could help him thrive...

I am an Illini and Georgia Tech fan, Sims is real talented, not very accurate at times and very streaky. He is a bit of a head case, but he had a bunch of coordinators and Collins was a terrible coach. He has a high ceiling, but it is not without risk. Bert would have to be real sure, but he has more upside and is more mobile than Divito. Only thing that scares me is he fumbles and gets stripped a lot like Brandon Peters, Divito was excellent in not turning the ball over

They haven’t even discussed another year with DeVito. Nor have they applied for a waiver.

will be interesting to see who's under (or behind) center next year but i, for one, have been completely spoiled by accuracy after years of sub 60% completion rates- (after which, i had to look it up...)
2021 Peters 58%
2020 Peters 48%/IW 41%
2019 Peters 55%
2018 Bush 54%
2017 George Jr 51%
2016 Lunt 55%
2015 Lunt 56%
2014 Lunt 63%/O'Toole 59%

yeah, it had been 9 years since our last 60% passer

Living in Louisville haven’t heard of him. He only played 38 snaps this year.. He was all conf at Jacksonville State. Looks like a good player plus he has experience at the position.
