[The Galloping Ghost]

We bring in a guy with three years of eligibility and the concern is he might leave early. Man, if he's leaving early our record is going to be pretty darn good. Not to mention will show we're a viable landing spot for QBs looking to get drafted. No matter what, this is a win.

Though, I guess I should add: Altmyer could absolutely be a first round pick in 2024 despite us going 7-5 or something.

See: Trubisky, Mitchell

That Trubisky team went 8-4 and were a few bad calls against Duke away from being 9-3. UNC also transitioned Marquise to Mitch at QB. Mitch was a better passer, but that is like switching your offense from Lamar Jackson style to Andy Dalton.

I'm glad that's over. WHo is next?

 

[OskieWowWow]

Still amazed at how quick we got business done before the other dominoes fell, even after Plan A ended with the worst possible outcome

 

[Epsilon]

The insiders proved their worth!

Again.

funny coincidence
Altmyer is from Starkville , MS, home to Miss St and played prep ball for Starkville HS

Therefore speculating he'll be on the sidelines with us in Tampa.......

If Altmyer shows up to campus in a Toyota Camry he has a real shot at being an Atlanta Falcon as soon as 2024

Interesting. So it's safe to say that Illinois has probably always been his dream school.

Impressive.

Not my preferred pre-game activity for a coach, but I am dang useless with anything to do with basketball so I am fine one to talk

 

[ChiefGritty]

Taking a step back, Illinois and Purdue getting Luke Altmyer and Hudson Card shows the degree to which we are just in a totally new world of college football.

We're not in Kansas anymore, even at Kansas!

Following on from this point: imagine having Brian Ferentz as your OC right now.

Does 0440 and Indy think that Jan 7th will be next BOOM ?

Jojo Hayden mentioned it in signing day

 

[BZuppke]

I can hear the low call from the crowd when Altmyer makes a great play: “Luuuuuuuuke!” Somewhat like the ‘Louuuuu’ we used to cheer for Henson.

If we do not have a BOOM, then 0440 could just have a very bad indigestion or even a blocked gut, eating a hat!!

@Indy Illini Fan and 0440 great job on this one!!! Nice to have a good football coach again
