I'll take anybody that can throw the ball over a mountain.We've had our fair share of Uncle Rico's, happy to have moved on from that phase of Illini football

Back in '82 Illinois did have a QB who could throw a pigskin a quarter mile.

I'll take this as confirmation that Lott isn't signing with Illinois. Not sure if Bielema or Lott moved on.
yeah with Wilcher moving to WR, Dixon committing, and (hopefully) Elzy, there's likely no room at the inn.

Should be easy to ascertain over the next couple days.

Looks like Leary to Kentucky. Some on here had indicated that he wasn't as likely for us anymore, but UK still kinda surprises me.

He wants some of the Will Levis Experience. Reasonably smart move for him, pro scouts like the things he'll be asked to do there and the opponents against which he'll be asked to do them.
Nothing should really be a surprise with NIL in the mix. Obviously the Yankees didn't bid.
I mean Kentucky has been paying their basketball students for decades they were set up to fly with the NIL being legalized for all sports
Wow surprised Leary to UK. I thought Mertz was headed there.

Sure, but very possible that it's one platform for the cool teens and another one for the Peoria Dad Zombie Army.

How soon should we expect to hear about a QB transfer? I know we had several in this past weekend. I'm not all that familiar with transfer related deadlines. Wondering if the Leary domino starts a cascade of activity.
Great question. As an impatient fan I hope soon, but getting the right guy and the right fit is important.
If TD’s waiver is declined, I hope we can get a QB that has multiple years of eligibility remaining. Card or Altmeyer (ole miss transfer) look to be the two that fit Lunney’s system and offer multiple years of eligibility.
I saw the Peoria Dad Zombie Army in concert at the Decatur Celebration. They were rad.
I have a good feeling that 1 of the 2 that visited is really considering us or already has chosen us. Seems like the tight lipped situations have favored us with coach B. Eerily quiet after 2 high profile QBs on campus.
Great distraction with the Texas Tech QB 0440
Hope the Devito situation is resolved quickly. The real bright spot is the quality of transfer targets we're seeing is now so much higher than years past. Also exciting to see potentially a sophomore QB come in and not just another rental.
It’s already been resolved.

Was thinking the same thing with the caliber of visitors here last weekend.
We all are ready for answers but I'm sure the reasons for the delay out weigh our curiosity

Denied, right?

At least the NCAA didn't leave us hanging. Pretty surprised by that.
